I've created an avi file using the capture feature on my web cam. Its only 3 mins long but takes up nearly 250 MB. I want to put it on YouTube and it needs compressing. Zipping it only saves about 30 meg. Can I convert it to a less memory hungry file type?
thanks. will see if i can convert it to another format. not sure if media player does this. also not sure why the file was so big in the first place, there are no settings to change the quality.
This won't however convert it to Divx or xvid but will offer a range of compression options.. You'll have to download either Divx or Xvid to convert them to one of their formats
It lets you change the resolution, so lower it to something easier to manage and the size should drop (remember that the YouTube player only has a small size anyway).
