Thanks for the compliments, SunRunner

Yeah, I was thinking of extending this tutorial, explaning a bit more about the filters and how you can improve the overall quality of a movie, thanks for sharing your hint though....we can't get enough of them
Microsoft codecs aint exactly the best codecs in the world, they can't offer the same compression like codecs such as DivX, however, when compressing a movie it is essential that one also remember to compress the sound. For sound compression I highly recommend MPEG Layer-3. It's a good quality which offer a high class compression.
Another Video Codec worth looking into is Xvid, which also comes as a free compressor/decompressor. It's pretty much the same as DivX and designed to work with the MPEG-4 compression. I don't know how well these tools works on a 95 platform, but as MorphuX said, Windows 95 was not designed as a multimedia platform and may therefor be lacking the improved system files found on newer platforms, which works even better with memory blocks.
