Is there a smaller version of CH-Mindwarp already created out there?

I was having trouble getting it to play properly, and found that VLC was the only solution. But now I'm realizing that it's just a problem with file size. It's too damn big! You may recall that I narrated a bit of my trouble in this thread (or maybe you actually have a life and didn't read my socially inept public obsession with minor personal technical difficulties).
Mindwarp is one of the few videos that I have, which is over 4 Gigabytes in size. It's recommended that if you're going to try to store and access files that are larger than 4 Gb, you should use the NTFS rather than the FAT file system. But by default, most disks are formatted in FAT. Well, I just built a disk-partition that was NTFS, moved the CH-Mindwarp.mp4 file over to it, and tried again. Tah-dah, it worked fine in a lot of media players. (Wait. Did I get that backwards? Is it NTFS or FAT that's better for files over 4 Gig?)
Although I do appreciate having high file quality, I think I'll suffer the loss in ultra-pixel-beauty for a little bit more portability and utility. If there's not already a low-res or medium-res version of CH-Mindwarp available maybe I'll download a free video-converter and make one. I wouldn't be able to host it or upload it for very long, though, so I'm thinking it's probably more useful for the group if someone with better computering skills does it.
