Title: Reducing file sizes
Post by: illdecide on May 13, 2009, 09:42:53 AM
Ladies/Gents i was at a wedding on Saturday and done a short video from my digital camera (2min 40sec approx), i took it off the camera and tried to email it and to my astonishment it was 43MB in size. I tried to compress and zip it and it reduced it by about 1.5MB ???

Surely a small video that length in time should be a lot less than 43MB. How can i reduce it folks

No video by it's very nature it very hard to compress. What file format is it in at the minute?

I think you can compress it using Windows Movie Maker.  Try googling compress video with windows movie maker and some nerd will probably have a step by step guide.  You would probably be quicker asking google to solve these techy issues rather than the gaaboard munchies... ;)

Tell your boss you installed software to reduce a video in size and you have released a virus into the system.  Make sure you begin and end the sentence with sorry.  He should understand...

Google for a converter that will change it to a rmvb file, great compression levels.
