file size problem
Mike, I down loaded two guitar competition videos it took much longer that the first one I did, I suspected something was wrong because I did not receive the congratulation. When I checked my files I noticed they were both larger than the max size. Is there some way I can reduce the file. I dont think I have zip file on my computer.
Hi frybaby
If you can give us some more details about the file you tried to upload, then we can help you. Can you tell us what format you are using please, i.e avi, mpeg etc etc and what program you used to proces your video, windows movie maker, or a mac program, then we should be able to help you reduce your file size.
Failing that, there are file conversion programs which can be used to change your file format to a smaller one.
Hope this helps.

Hi Frybaby
As Al rightly said, if you have used windows movie maker, then there are options you can use to compress the file size, as his link shows.
Also, I have found that avi's can be large files, and converting them to another, less MB filling format can also do the trick.
Both ways work, it just depends what you are more comfortable with, and which one gives you the better quality audio/video

Here is a link to a great free piece of software called AlltoAVI.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alltoavi/
I use it to convert from alternate file types as well as to resize avi's from time to time....
You will probably have plenty of luck using windows movie maker as mentioned above, but this is another fine tool to have for whatever ails ya.. B)
