I was compressing a video in Sony Vegas 9 today, 720P 1280x720 25 FPS MPEG2 compression, the default 720p setting.  When I finished rendering the video with no effects converting from AVI to MPEG2, it compressed to 501mb which sounds like a lot for a 3:33 video clip.

Does anyone have recommendations on what to do? Different compressions?

I used ATI's video converter, dropped it down to like 200mb, but it raped the sound.

Actually, 500MB isn't that unreasonable for an AVI file. Some of my 5 minute 1080p videos used to come out at between 1-2GB.

That's not normal... I always render in WMV format these days, to be able to upload quicker. A 720p 3 minute video shouldn't be any more than 100mb, if that.

500mb MPEG2 compression, not AVI.
