No matter what program you are using for getting video ready for the web try MPEG stream clip. It is working for me to compress video for web posting into MPEG 4 videos.

If half the world owns an ipod, people around here is not part of "the world" cause there is nowhere CLOSE to half the people i run into that own an ipod..BS on the quicktime "warnings". It's fine. And half the world owns an iPod, which usually means you already have iTunes and QuickTime installed anyway.
I've been a computer consultant for over 20 years, so I'm not exactly new at this.
I'd stay away from Windows Movie Maker unless you ONLY want people running Windows to be able to view your videos, or you are a sufficiently advanced user to know how to change the default settings to make it more compatible.
QuickTime is the most cross-platform compatible option out of the chute, followed by Divx.
Yep, surprised me. Wonder if I should read the tutorial? :silly: Or you can set it to compress to a smaller size as I explained...Thanks! I had heard that you could do it in Windows Movie Maker. When I had tried it I couldnt find any options to reduce its size. I did not think it would automatically do it when it was saved. Thanks for all the advice, I will have some stuff to try when I get off work.
