I use Adobe Premiere Elements (APE?) to edit my videos and export an AVI,
then QuickTime Pro to crunch it down so the final file size is about 1.5-2MB
per minute.

I found that QuickTime didn't like AVIs that I had exported from Windows
MovieMaker, and I find QuickTime's editing functionality too basic, so I went
for Premiere Elements. APE has access to the same codecs as QTPro including
H.264 but won't let me tweak enough parameters to get the balance between
file size and quality that I want, hence I need both APE and QTPro.

I don't know what Enric is going on about with regards to quality, quite
frankly. Get in there and tweak the settings and you can have whatever level
of quality you want. There's just been a QuickTime update so it's important to
upgrade.

I tried Videora iPod converter but it did some very strange things to my
videos, including lopping off title screens and replacing them with blank white.
I was only using it as an interim solution while Apple sorted out the banjax
they made of the last version of QTPro.
