How can I reduce size without reducing picture quality so badly?

I see all these vids with great picture quality despite being only 10-12MB in size, and I need to be able to get that. >.< my video right now is about 45MB at full size, and at 9.5MB the quality is HORRIBLE. Any way with, say, zip folders and stuff, and how do I do it? This project is a WMM project btw, so it either ends up as full 45MB or less than 10MB...

I'm not familiar with WMM output options. But I output my final vid as a full size AVI and then use Dr. Divx to reduce it and change the aspect ratio to 16:9. Dr. Divx also accepts WMVs I think so maybe that will work for you too.

Yes Dr. DivX is great for making a reasonably sized AVI with excellent picture quality. Since I export my videos from Premiere as MPEG2's I use Ulead's Video Studio to make a WMV version of my vids. For some reason that program makes excellent quality wmv's with a very small file size and I never have to fiddle with adjustments, I just use the default
