why is the file size so big
 

whys it it like 300 mb for a movie in the amv format? lol even on low settings it huge

Hi noobguy,

What is the original format of your movie? Is it already a compressed divX or Xvid movie? Is it about 700MB? If so, then that should be about right as DivX movies are already compressed and the only thing you're really changing is the screen resolution which then reduces the file size.
