How do I make movie clips from my camera smaller so that I can email them. They are currently 17.0 MB (17,891,215 bytes). I have tried sending them to a ZIP folder but they are still ending up to be the same size
Why not open a free account on one of the free photo / movie repository sites, upload the movie to your public folder, and email a link to it (youtube, photobucket, .me, etc etc etc etc). Your friends can then view in situ or download it as they wish.
This is the 21st century, emailing huge files around is not necessary and hugely wasteful of bandwidth in areas where it is scarce.
