I took a small AVI file into Dynalpel's Steadyhand & processed it. The new
file that was produced is 8 times as large as the original. I expected the
new file to be exactly the same size as the original. What codec should I
have used?

Thanks in advance

You would get a similar size if you encode it with the same codec
_and_ settings. Not really the same size exactly, as the content has
been changed para Steadyhand.

What codec do you like most? You can use _any_ codec, so what is the
clip meant for?

mpeg1 for compatibility, or
Xvid for small file size

I want the resulting file to be the same size & format as the original.

Get Avicodec (it's free), and it shall tell you the properties of your
original.
