I was going to ask that one but my mail didn't arrive on the list.  
One option is to export as .flv format which lowers the quality but 
produces a file that is about 50% less.

Yes, done a lot of that

Hi Sonia,

Is there are reason you don't export the completed
video *from* Kino into a more compressed format?

Regards,

Patrick

This might not be the answer you want but have you thought about using 
Kino to produce .flv format ?  The resulting video using broadband 
quality isn't all that good but it's good enough for YouTube and 
other video streaming sites.
  
Thanks everyone for your replies - I'll try each of .flv format, 
avidemux, and mencoder.

Yeh, bjj, it should be called "the geeks martial art" - it's not called 
"physical chess" [2] for nothing :-)
