Making files smaller

Mon Aug 09, 2004 9:45 am by Zack Lyons

I know there's an answer to this out there, because I made a suggestion to it.
I've spent the last 30 minutes or more sending a battle audio clip to someone else on the team, and it's still only a third of the way complete. It was in a compressed folder.
If it's going to take this long for just one audio clip in a compressed file, it will take a very long time for the whole mod to be downloaded. So how can I make video and audio clips even smaller?

not sure what`s best ..
but maybe look for "virtual-dub" (it`s quite good and i think easy to get)

as you know there`s audio+video and both can be compressed ..
try with different codecs ..
i prefer divx video compression and for audio .. not sure how many codecs the program can do, but you`ll find out .. get a good balance of quality and size ..

good luck

Problem is that FL probably doesn't work with DivX, although I'm not sure of that. The only thing I can think of is re-encoding it in different formats (mp3 is good to drop those frequencies that no one can hear), then re-encode it back to one that FL supports.

Wavepad is good for compressing sounds to small sizes. I use it to make audio effects. Try messing with the different output styles...Note: you may have to download a couple codecs if you are missing some.
