My site produces regular videos and they need to be of a decent size for downloaders (plus the fact that I have to upload on 56k) and must be in a format which the majority of regular people have.

Currently I use MPG's which convert about a minute's footage to 5MB, but the quality gets hit badly.

Can anyone recommend any better formats/softwares to use?

(I have Arcsoft VideoImpression 1.6, Movie Maker 2 and Ulead VideoStudio 5.0 to use however I can get nearly all softwares)

Export as DivX, WMV or Xvid.

I've tried WMV through Movie Maker, but fitting the video to the right size makes it no besion MPG, but I'll try the DivX and Xvid ones

Cheers
