    I'm looking for a software that can encode an uncompressed avi HD movie file (720p) into something smaller (file size wise). 60 fps would be preferred, but not required.

    I've tried Avidemux and VirtualDub, but they didn't support 720p. But maybe I've missed something, I've really never done anything with movies...

    Is there a software or codec you can recommend? I've an ATI 4870 if that makes any difference...

    AutoMKV or Handbrake... something like that should be able to do it. Or MediaCoder, although I don't understand MediaCoder's reliance on a web browser...

    Actually, if it's got soft-subs, don't use Handbrake. It doesn't support them. :(

    60FPS !!!!!!

    dont all films work on 24-25FPS ?

    nero recode would work, thats what i use to compress a DVD to ipod size. you can specify bit rate and resolution.

    I doesn't need to have 60fps - as said, that would be a bonus. Isn't one of the improvements of Blueray / Full HD 60fps?

    I was just checking if that's possible. The movie will have no sub-titles, just animated text and sound. Anyway,

    THANK YOU guys! :D I'll look into MediaCoder and the other software. /+rep

    no. the frame rate of almost all blu ray movies is 24fps (well, 23.97something). you will want to preserve this :)

    although afaik the blu ray format doesn't need to be a specific framerate. basically you just wanna preserve the frame rate of whatever your source video is. otherwise you will run into audio sync issues.

    Maybe I should clearify what I want to do...

    I'm using Wax 2.0 to move around text fragments and pictures in front of a background. So the video is created entirely by myself.
    The video is not to be shared by any means, but only used for a presentation. Due to the limited nature of Wax I cannot add mation blur, so I'd take all the fps I can get. 60 fps is the refresh rate of the projector. Wax CAN output uncompressed avi at 60 fps, but it won't play fluently of course.

    So could I use 60 fps? Sorry, I've really no idea about this kind of thing... :D

    yeah you could use 60fps video, most likely.
