That *has* to be possible. After all, people were vidding already a few years ago when computers just didn't *have* the huge amounts of storage they have today, and I'm using an old editing software, as well - shouldn't it be possible to find a somewhat older, yet still good enough codec? I only want to produce a fanvideo, after all - I don't really *need* brilliant, hyper-sharp images. The vid will be compressed to something around 20 MB in the end, so the quality won't be *that* great, anyway... it seems excessive to use clips whose sizes range from 400 MB to 4 GB for that.
