@Awax: I always use DivX 5.1 in virtual dub (you choose from codecs which you have installed in system, all of them should appear in Video -> Compression window
I double click at DivX 5.1 (if I remember well there is newer version via net) or click "Configure"
then, the only thing which I always change in "encoding bitrate"
it's the thing which depends the most at file size and quality
8000 - is compression without loosing quality
1 - guess what
the most usable for me is compression in limits 500-900 (coz I usually upload replays to frutsel which allow up to about 500 kb file size)
yesterday I compressed Jumbo movie from 40 to 20 Mb and you could see just a little bit, almost unnoticeable differences comparing to original movie (can't remember which bitrate I used now)
the best method is trial and error, you compress the original movie with example 1500 bitrate quality and then you have from 500 Mb file some like 50 MB with good quality
then you have quite small file (comparing to original) which you can decrease in size by decreasing bitrate and see what quality satisfy you
for example, one of my goal replay uncompressed has about 80 MB in resolution 512x384 and takes about 20 seconds of time
after compression 4000 bitrate it has still 512x384 res and 8 Mb - quality is fantastic but too good for internet bandwidth
in bitrate 800, the same movie still looks good and take just 1.9 Mb
decreasing bitrate quality I could go down to 500 kb and it still doesn't look ugly
so we can mess with bitrate, ok; but of course we can make a movie in smaller resolution what brings us beter final effect as pretty small file
additionally, you can go to "Filters" menu and tune brightness & contrast a bit, coz usully PES/WE movies are too dark

about compressing soundtrack...as I wrote before PES/WE soundtrack doesn't require superb mp3 quality, chants and commentaries are mono, 16 bit and 22 khz if I remember well so for example Jumbo movie, it could take no more than 2 Mb I guess
previous jumbo compressed only video without compressing sound, so sound was still uncompressed wav and took about 40 Mb; if he would compress it it could take just I wrote, about 2 - 4 Mb
how to compress sound in virtual dub?
"Streams -> Stream list -> Right click at available stream and select "Full processing mode"
then "Compression" menu under right click should appear now, click it and you'll see the list of available sound codecs and their parameters. I suggest using Mp3 format, everybody has it in system (coz everyone listens mp3, doesn't?
)
in right click menu you can also set volume level and the other stuff which you can hear before compressing how it will be "hearable"
sounds are important too, good to hear good chants and goal jingles during watching someone gameplay movie instead of fan of your PC...
here is the short movie I used to make a screenshot, if I would decrease sound quality it could be even smaller
