Can someone please explain?

Why I can dl at a 50 minute program and it is roughly 350mb in size and is an .avi, and that a 16 minute clip from my camera, also an .avi, is 1.68 gigs?

Megaupload doesn't want to cooperate, either. I did upload the first longish clip and got two links. The download link won't work unless you have a premium account because: "The file that you're trying to download is larger than 1 GB. Only premium users are entitled to download files larger than 1 GB from Megaupload."

The second link is this, and that sounds like a youtube type viewing experience? But it says that "This video is unavailable." Huh. Maybe it will play for someone else?

Instant video link:

So, it looks like it's back to youtube and figuring out how to cut the talk into less than 10 minutes bits. Or, someone can tell me what I need to convert the video to to make the size less than 1 gig.

Help!

Off to work to be abused by that new computer program at work.

That link tells me it is unavailable, too. :-/

Drats. Thank you for trying it. I appreciate it.

I'm going to apply myself to learn Movie Maker in a few days. I think it will reduce the size of the files and I'll be able to edit them, too.
