Help with .mpeg needed

Feb 5, 2005 1:20AM PST

Hi,

I was out scuba diving this morning and have a section of mpeg (taken with a Sony Cybershot camera on the movie setting "640 VGA") which I would like to email to a friend.

It is only a few seconds long but is 3.1mb - I was wondering if it was possible to reduce the file size as my friend is not on broadband. Do I need to convert? It doesn't need to be great quality but still reasonable, and I don't mind if the view window size has to be reduced.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, Annabel Happy

VIRTUAL DUB. Free and is documented on the web so I don't offer any support.
