I have an Evangalion video choreographed to a song, but its like 67 MB, but im looking to make it a size that I can fathom transferring it over the net.

With winzip, it gets down to 64 MB.

Anyone know some good compression utilities?

You can't compress what is already compressed.

No, when compressed by Winzip it gets to 64...I wasnt looking to compress the winzip file.

No, sorry man. It would be a wonderful world indeed if 64Mb could somehow be compressed down to 30, but it just ain't happening, heh

Even the most advanced compression utilities are usually used for little more than simply packing multiple files into a single file for convenient storeage. It's generally accepted that if you need to transmit 64Mb, you need to transmit 64Mb (or at least near that).

You could convert it to a more efficient file type, or reduce the quality.

Some details would be helpful...
