It doesn't affect quality, but the videos we *DO* record in Freelancer can easily take up nearly a GIGABYTE of space!!!!!
For a one-hour show I shot (complete with CGI Graphics) it was nearly 8GB on my hard drive. That was the *SOURCE* file itself. Rendered, with DIVX encoding is awfully close to 2GB, enough to fit on a DVD.
the compression ratio is directly porportional to the SIZE of the uncompressed file. The bigger the uncompressed file, the lower the ratio.

Strange. Ive managed to compress a 9GB file to 600MB using DivX codec. Compresion ratio set to insane quality. It took to my PC almost 2 hours but compression was exellent.
What version of DivX are you using?
Try 6.1. that one is the most efficient one to date.

Yes, I did
Actually, the movies are heavily compressed. The original ambushes are a whooping 4+ gigabytes each when uncompressed. Now theyre around 400 megabytes apiece. Yes, I could have compressed it even further, but then the names would have been totally unreadable

Unfortunately, you can only download one at a time. My webpage does not have the capacity or bandwidth to host nearly 800 megabytes of rar files

Firefox just asks if I want to download it(or something like that) and if I click yes, it opens another tab and repeats. :(
I'll upload my videos when I get the time to edit them. I just haven't had the time yet.
An especially interesting little clip I got is Sam's explosion at the end. :D
Personally I took around 16gig of uncompressed movies, but most of it can just be deleted. But in the end it'll probably be around the size of f2k's movies.

Sounds like you don't have the DivX codec installed, or another codec is messing with the DivX codec. Try reinstalling DivX again, it usually does the trick. Usually.
