AMV is too big

Alright. I'm new at this. I just made an anime music video and it reaches over 100 MB. And I am entirely confused-It does not reach even the limit of 3 minutes! I played with the quality, but it still does not even comes CLOSE to being 100 MB. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would really appreciate them. Thank you!

there is a section in the main A/V guide about encoding to xvid, please read that

And remember to compress your audio to something like MP3. That alone can save you about 30MB of space.

Yeah, learn to compress your audio. It saved me 40 mb for my last vid.

When I showcase my AMVs online, I encode it in the lowest of the lowest crappiest MPEG1 settings ever. Audio in MP2 ahahah. Usually, after its premiered at the convention I put up the MPEG2 or xvid/divx AVI version up...

But tinker with your encode settings, you don't have to encode at the highest setting, and like the others said, audio makes a big difference.
