Hello,

I have tried Adobe Media Encoder and tried to make my 30-40min movie to much smaller than what it is now. I have tried to make it MPEG2 format.

I have made a 757 MB quite good quality movie, but that's not enough, because my movie duration is only 30-40min. Let's think about other movies, they will take 1.30-2.00 hours and that's 3-4 times longer than mine. So my 30-40min movie should be 700/3 MB right?

I have tried different options in Media Encoder but there are much options that I cannot see any difference...

Can you tell me some tips on reducing the filesize without much quality loss. It can be lossless format, but not quality loss.

Thank you very much.

EDIT: I am using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0

One way would be to re-edit it again and make the scenes so tight, you can hear your movie squeak as you play it. The other methods involve applying a different codec or more compression, but that's not what you're after really.
