Reducing file sizes

illdecide · 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...

Did you uninstall the software first of all??

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...

I get the feeling that this marriage is doomed, cursed by mere association.

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