Making Movies...how to do?

[Powerstroke2000]

We have some .avi movies that we took on our camera, that we would like to send via e-mail. Problem is that they are just under 200 MB in size, so we would like to know how to either make them smaller, or what to do to make them a proper size for this purpose?

We just looked on the computer, and noticed that "Moviemaker" is on the computer, but not having used it, we're not sure if this is the program needed to possibly make the movie smaller in size, or e-mailable???

Any help on this issue, would be appreciated!

Thanks..

Windows movie maker is ideal for this.
Load the avi, and then save in one of the formats available.
Check the quality before you send.
There are about 50 different selections of quality/format you can use.
56k dialup is the lowest quality.
It will save as a .wmv file, and can be quite a bit smaller than the avi.
