compressing wmv

So I created a copy of my video using Premiere, and to maintain quality, I used WMM 9 NSTC 1024 K download, and the video resulted in a 200 MB file. How do I reduce that size further?

You'll want to adjust the settings on that preset. When the media encoder opens up you can click through the headings on the left side to change things. Changing the Video setting to Two Pass will allow you to trim it down the most, but it sort of sucks it up on crossfades--they get pixely very easily. With either two pass or one pass, you just click on High Bandwidth to get to the settings. I would suggest using the work area bar to highlight a small section and just experiementing with different bit rates until you find a good compromise.

The other option would be to look into XviD encoding. In which case, I'd point you to the guide I linked to in that other post. Very detailed explanation of how to go about doing that in there.
