You can use requant (aka m2vrequant). You'll need to demux it first (project X does this fine) then you can requant the .m2v. Requant works by adjusting the quantisation levels in the encoded video to shrink it down a bit. It doesn't re-encode the video. It works really well if your video is only a bit too big (say 10 or 20%), but it sounds like your video is 100% too big which might be too much for it. If I had a 9 GB recording from DVB I'd put it onto two DVDs ;-) -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick
