What is the best format to email a video in (for WindowsXP users)
Hi
I need to send some friends a video that I have shot using my mobile phone. However because they are confidential, I obviously can not use anything public suck as youtube.com or facebook.com. The trouble is that Windows can't by default read the ".3GP" format that they were originally stored in. What is the best 'universal' format to convert my .3GP videos them into? I need something that wont require everyone to install any software just for me! I tried converting them into .AVI but instead of being 2.5MB it suddenly turned into a file nearly 100 times as large. (i.e. 228 MB !!) - i.e. WAY too large to email. - Any thoughts ? Ship Shiperton Henethe |

Convert to wmv.
Import to movie maker and save using the email option which will bring the size down again. -- Graham Hughes MVP Digital Media www.myvideoproblems.com "ship" wrote in message ...

Yes but what is the best way to convert to .WMV format? All the utilities I've tried so far seem so work so badly - if at all. I also tried converting to .AVI using about 5 different utilities, and each time the sound was converted okay but the picture was blacked out!
