    I have an avi file that's approx. 1 GB, and i want to fit it on a 700MB cd-r.

    What programe is available free that can re-size the picture size so it's smaller and will reduce the file size?

    Cheers

    Virtualdub can re-encode the video for you. You need to decide whether you want to create a Divx or Xvid file. You should also know that re-encoding will reduce picture quality significantly. It's probably better if you split the file so that you can fit it on 2 cd's. You won't lose any quality that way.
