its all about how you encode it. Programs like adobe premier are excellent for trimming down movie file sizes. I have a copy of it here at work. If you post the movie file I will be happy to reduce its size for you. ---

I just finished a 7 minute music video. In the past I have used Premiere 6.01 but it is not compatable with my new video card. I was desperate so I turned to Windows Movie Maker, and you know what, I love it! It is great if you’re not doing any super advanced editing and the file compression is awesome. I have the whole thing in an 8MB file and it plays great. The largest size is 100MB for real full screen quality. The problem is it only outputs as WMV file format. But for a free resource you can’t beat it. Probably didn’t help much but I thought I’d share 😛 I hope to get Premiere CS sometime soon :beam: ---

I can’t even add the movie to my ftp. server because it is about 18 mins. long and is about 198 MB. in file size. I’ll add it anyway and wait until it loads and post back soon. ---
