I dont really want turn this into an encoding thread and bore the heck out of everybody. I want to get it small becuase my upload speed is capped, usually get 40 to 50kb/s (thus the huge VOBs would take forever to get to Ishiyoshi at that speed). It is odd using a Philips dvd recorder and Ahead Nero and Divx softwares to get a video about SONY out.

oops, didnt see your post before i made mine, ishiyoshi, the vob file was weird, i recorded it on a dvd recorder than had another program saved and the first part of the vob was the other program and then was the 60 minutes, so i dont exactly know the true size of the vob, weird recording way it made them, i dont recall this recorder making vobs mixed like that curious

I merged the VOBs into one mpeg1 file (resolution 320x24) and file size is 130MB, then ran it through Divx6 using its handheld profile and now the file is 23 MB (176 x 128 resolution) when i used divx 6's portable profile got a filesize 57.2 MB (resolution 320x240) using the home theater profile, filesize and quality are the same it seems now to get it to you people. hmmm......

Hey people, I didnt know where to post this but Howard Stringer was just on 60 minutes and I recorded it on my dvd recorder. Right now I have it in VOB format (just gotta figure out how this Philips recorder truly works, seems the VOBs are separated in weird pieces), I was thinking of converting it to Divx 6 and maybe give it to the administration here so all can see. I missed the first minute of the piece basically where the reporter introduces the topic sitting in a chair with the story name behind them (the typical 60 Minutes intro). the piece is 12 min 46seconds: "Sir Howard Stringer: Sony's Savior?" by Lesley Stahl
