big file size to small video files

[AznHaxEr]

hi, i am currently capturing video from a PC turner , TV shows. The problem is the recorded files is too big. like 350 mb for a 30 min recording. The format is mpeg. I need to tone down the file size i think the video is uncompress and is encoded in the mpeg 2 format. i wonder is there a good conversion and compression program, if any please let me know the program name.

TY if you reply.:angelgrin
