February 27, 200818 yr Hey, is there anybody out there who knows if it is possible to make these 3 Vista (like) Move, Copy and Delete AVI's for XP into a smaller size?DownloadMove.avi (3.48 MB)Copy.avi (2.01 MB)Delete.avi (2.93 MB)The reason I need them to be a little smaller is when I add them to XP's shell32.dll they cause a error (user32.dll relocated in memory bla bla)This is caused by shell32.dll being too big, so to fix it I would need them to be compressed to AVI a tad betterSo if anybody can take them and recode them (even if it only shrinks them a few kilobites) I would be grateful Edited January 26, 200917 yr by ricktendo64
February 28, 200818 yr Hi, I think they can only be compressed using RLE compression but thats only for 8 bit images. Using Aviquick (freeware) the bmp's can be extracted, and when I did I noticed that there was some duplicate images. So I removed them and reduced the framerate. In total it reduced total size of the 3 avi's from 8.4 mb to 6.4 mb. You can download them here.
February 28, 200818 yr Author That did it dude.YAY!!! thank you jd976, no more user32 error...shell32.dll is under the limmit Edited February 28, 200818 yr by ricktendo64

August 13, 200818 yr I'd be very interested too, why nowadays someone cares about 2mb of his/hers OS size...(beside making the smallest install ever )
August 14, 200818 yr Author Can i ask what you needed the extra space for?If you patch shell32.dll with too HUGE avi's you will get a "user32.dll relocated in memory" error, so i requested to shrink these avi's to avoid it
August 15, 200818 yr Okay, of course. I remember i tried to DELETE the animation inside that shell32 or was it msgina .dll , i dont recall. Anyway it was this keyboard ctrl-alt-del animation among other things.So would it then be safe to just extract the animation, or sound .wav for that matter, and just remove everything in it, to save space, and put it back in?Or are there ways to safely remove the entire thing?

September 20, 200817 yr At last i finaly found a program can save as avi with BMP/RLE compression.What program, I didn't found any working program when I searched it myself. All the programs I tried had horrible conversion to 8bit colors.
