Encoding a 602mb movie?

[lolage]

I edited a movie yesturday and left it with thid prorgam called Fx Video Converter. I left it overnight hoping it would have encoded.

But when i wake up this morning there is still an egg timer icon? There is no progress bar though.. Should i leave it or get a new program?

I assume you have an AVI and your trying to convert it to DVD format? If this is the case then try an alternative program or an alternative movie file.

Yes, it is avi and i want it to be wma.

WMA? Audio only? Surely you want a WMV?

save is as uncompressed avi first

then use another tool to convert to wmv (why do you want wmv?)

Im not actually sure what i do, i used to use movie maker but i never had to compress the file as it only saved to about 30mb.

But with premiere its saved as 602mb and i need to know what to do to make it smaller.

how long is the video?

could use autogk to make a xvid avi file, set the filesize to 10mb per minute..

or just use windows movie maker to re-save your file as wmv
