I'm trying to get content from a DVD onto the web. I already found a program that turned the DVD into an mpeg file, but my 4 minute clip takes up over 250 MB. Is there a free Windows program that will take a DVD or an mpeg file and convert it into a smaller mpeg file by changing the resolution, frame rate, or compression?

It looks like it would do it, but for some reason it wont import the mpeg file.

For DVD ripping, personally I follow this guide: http://elliottback.com/wp/archives/2005/12/26/how-to-rip-a-dvd-a-tutorial/... I've found a 25 minute tv episode takes about 300mb, so hopefully the 4 minute clip will be less. Takes a long time to convert though.

Thanks Mikey. I'll take a look at that for the future. For now, I have the file converted to a wmv, but it wont run when its embedded.

Here's my html code. It plays the first few seconds and then stops. Its not the file, because I can download it and play it.



Edit:

Looks like my host doesn't allow streaming content. Oh well. I made it a link.
