Does anyone know an easy to reduce the file from its current 740mb size to something like 200 or 300mb?
I've tried a few programs and they didn't really work or would output a file that is right around the same size...

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Mike

If you are on a Mac, you could try HandBreak http://handbrake.fr/, where you have several options when ripping, but a movie of the length of Mr. Brooks, well you are already pretty low. You are going to loose quality, big time.
