Thanks to both. I am talking about encoding to a smaller file size. Any ideas?

mencoder would be a good program.

I would suggest first playing it with mplayer and seeing what the current encoding is, if it is already xvid/divx/x264 encoded you won't

I've found mencoder not to be quite as functional as transcode for certain applications. However, I do agree with Roger, you need to find out the existing codec/aspect ratio before tinkering with the file. Instead of using mplayer, I'd try just using 'file <videoname>', that gives you a good amount of info on the file (just in case the file is on a remote system as mine are sometimes).

I do have a couple of standard lines for adjusting video files that I'll be glad to share if you want. They aren't anything more than typical transcode/mencoder lines with basic options that I"ve saved since I can't always remember the options.
