How to make an avi file smaller?
I made a file on i-movie that is 8.5mgb, it needs to be 5mgb. Can any one recommend an easy way (dummies guide) to make the file smaller on a mac either by compressing or changing the file type?

Thanks for your help!

There's no easy way to make it smaller unless you convert it to another format, they're already compressed.

Here's a few options...
