Compressing raw AVI with SpanishDub

This question is copied from a Camcorder Pro thread in the 7650 forum, because it's not really relevant to that thread.

Hello, please mossy could you explain how to compress the .avi files with spanishdub (is same as virtualdub)? because I have an .avi file of more than 4Mb from a .3gp fil of 95Kb (yes 4Mb with 3gptorawavi), and I would like to compress it. I put the same configuration you wrote in last post, but when I go to save as AVI it gives me an error and save a 12Kb file that is unknown to windows media player.
Thank you very much in advance.

Are you using the NUB codec or the Indeo 5.10 codec?

I can't tell what version of VirtualDub that SpanishDub is based on. I know that the 4Mb from 3gpToRawAVI to compressed AVI conversion works for me with version 1.5.3 of VirtualDub. I would suggest that you download the latest version of VirtualDub and try again with these settings...

Audio: Full Processing Mode, Compression: Microsoft ADPCM
Video: Full Processing Mode, Compression: Intel Video 5.10, Quality 75% (or maybe 50%)

If that works, then try again with the latest version of SpanishDub.

Let us know how it goes.

With VirtualDub 1.5.4 it works. The final file is 800Kb. Much better. And quality, I really don�t see diferences.
Is the indeo video the best compression format? I think that 800Kb for a 9 seconds video is too much.
Thank you very much
