There's probably too many answers to that question. Off the top of my head:

 

* Scale down the image size

* Increase compression

* Buy a commercial compressor (I like Sorensen Squeeze)

[LazyDude]

thanks for the answer

[robcat2075]

try these settings in A:M [attachmentid=16569]

 

raise the data rate until yo get an acceptable image

Does the new mov codec not get lower file sizes than sorenson3?

if you are on a pc (and I guess some macs) you can watch this

I think you mean the H.264 codec that comes with QT7. I find it produces file sizes about half that of Sorensen for similar levels of quality. Compression times are longer.. It does require a beefy machine to play them back, though - my G3 iBook can play Sorensn 3 files smoothly, but most H.264s will stutter.

 

LazyDude: For anything other than short, quickly rendered work, I recommend rendering to separate TGAs and then gluing them together (and compressing) afterwards. That way you can experiment with different compression settings without having to re-render. You can do this glue/compress process within A:M, although I prefer to use QuickTime Pro (US$30).

 

JohnL3D: Your movie wouldn't play on my Mac. Ho hum.

JohnL3D's WMV uses the MSS2 codec for the video, which can't be played back on Macs.
