Hi All,

I've been using Snapz Pro to capture video from my racing games and making DVDs for friends, etc. (I know, I have NO life, don't remind me). My question is this, Is there a way to make the movies take up a little less room? At moderate quality and thousands of color depth, a 1 minute 30 second capture of Nascar 2003 is 500mb+ and it fills up a DVD pretty fast. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Use the Export command to compress them with a different video codec.

Yeah, in QuickTime you can "Share" the movie and use presets for web/CD/e-mail/etc.; easily get that down to a couple of megs at 320x240 or so.
