Hi Simon, If you want I could help with re-encoding your video to something less cumbersome? I can usually get Xvid to squeeze them pretty good. with something like this:
mencoder *.trp -ovc xvid -oac copy -xvidencopts pass=1 -o /dev/null && mencoder *.trp -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts pass=2:bitrate=-700000 -vf scale=720:480 -o output.avi Just adjust file type *.? , bitrate=? and scale=? to something of your liking. The above string can take a two hour movie and reduce it to less than one gig with no noticeable loss in quality.
