Errr... Problems encoding

I love YaBB?! Hell no.

So... I did make an 2 hour, 36 minute speedrun of MGS1 for PC(my first one). Of course fraps didn't put everything into a 1 file. Great. But i'm lucky. I'm not just a gamer. So let's start Adobe Premiere and put those into 1 file and make a 700mb file. But now, I need a good codec. DivX isn't very good... What compression you guys use here? Oh and i'm not going to submit it here because it took too long. I died a... few times and then I had problems with Sniper Wolf's AI. I really sucked at the bosses. I just want the file smaller so I don't need to waste 30gb space.

What do you mean, not very good? Most of us here use DivX. It may not be the best, but it has the advantage that a lot of people have it already, compared to Xvid or something.

Why pirate software when there's perfectly good free software that does the task?

What're you smokin'? Huh?

At the length you want, you'll have around 600kb/s bandwidth. That's enough if you're dealing with 320x240. Assuming you encode the audio at 128kb/s, you'll have plenty of room(480kb/s) left for the video.

Use 2- or 3-pass VBR and you should be fine. If you have DivX Pro, enable Bi-directional Encoding and it'll look even better. Quarter Pixel and Global Motion Compensation won't hurt either.
