O/T - Compressing video files for emailing

Put it on You Tube then email the link ;)

Open it with Windows Movie Maker then save it and dictate how large you want the file eg 4mg.

Hi Craig

Firstly open the video in the software that came with your camera. Go up the top to the file or edit tab and search for a command such as "convert to" or "modify"or "export" etc. Select one of these and it should give you the option to save the video in different file formats. Make sure you have the original file saved elsewhere as it will modify the file.

You may also just be able to go to file/save as, and choose a different file type.

What you want to do is save the file as a WMV for email, this is one of the smallest file sizes and the quality does suffer a bit Alternatively save it as an MPEG 2 file it will be bigger than a WMV and the quality will be better.

Hope this helps.
