Import your video into Premiere, then change your project properties, and use a smaller resolution, like 640x480. Then render it using a codec like Divx or Xvid to compress the video until you find a suitable compromise between size and quality. I like to use Windows Media Video, and compress the the video to about 90% quality.

+1 yes and what he means by compress the video is to use the "export" feature and export as a wmv file I use the 1024k Wm9 that is in the pulldown menu you see when you export. Hope it helps.

The best and simplest is to get Dr. DivX 2 its free and it makes just amazing encodes. It totally ROCKS. Once you have it edited to how you want then run the uncompressed video through Dr. Divx. http://www.drdivx.com
