Unless the mpeg is mostly nothing at all (very little motion, no flames, |
| 15 |
water, sky, textures, ...) then you will find it hard to get down to |
| 16 |
100meg. Don't forget that mpeg2 (probably the format you have...) is |
| 17 |
already compressed. Also don't forget that 1h30 of *audio* at 128kbps |
| 18 |
(normal mp3/ogg quality) will take about 90-100meg. What you are asking |
| 19 |
is pretty unrealistic. You could do it with mplayer or transcode but the |
| 20 |
results will be horrific. For 1h30 mins you will be down to a very small |
| 21 |
size, very low quality and barely discernable audio. Can you really only |
| 22 |
go to 100meg? You might get something reasonable with 300meg if you play |
| 23 |
around enough but otherwise I would say forget it. |

ps. more info about the nature of the original could change everything |
