Compression Problems

[LBK Rules]

Our team's total length of our our animation, with the credits, is 2:07 seconds, and after we compiled everything in VP using the DV-NTSC codec, we found that that the size is over 400 MB. Then, I tried using the Cinepak codec, with Medium settings, and it was over 300 MBs, and looked horrible.

Do any of you'll know how to fix this problem, without shortening the file? Right now, I can't think of any other way.

with it getting close to that 8 oclock deadline i would say cut the credits...FIRST wont even judge them to begin with...sure its nice to have them...but if worst comes to worst just submit the animation without the credits and show off the one with it.
