Hello,

I have just ripped a DVD into a DIVX (AVI) file om 700 MB.

I have changed my mind, so now I want the file to be on 500 MB.

Do you know any programs which can compress a divxfile?

DivX is already compressd, so to get the file any smaller you need to either re-rip the dvd with a lower bitrat/smaller resolution, or re-encode the divx - i Highly suggst reencoding from the original dvd.

To rip from DVD i recommend that you use Handbreak
I free'd my mind... now it won't come back.
