re-processing movie

[o770]

How do I re-compress a movie to get the best possible quality of the resulting video?

[SKD_Tech]

What type of file are we talking about. If it is already compressed you aren't going to get any more quality by recompressing

It's an AVI file.

I know I cant make it any better. I need to know about how the codec should be set and which is the preferable one for the best possible quality of the resulting movie.
Thanks a lot!

Well it has a lot of variables. What is the duration of the file?

The "File Information" screengrab clearly indicates that the video is 8:29 (eight minutes and twenty-nine seconds) in duration...
