How to compress video clips

[Automan]

Al, a technical question: how can I compress a video file to upload it in this forum. I made a video of myself selfsucking and this weighs 520 MB!!!. I tried the megaload link but it takes too long to upload it all.

Please advise what to do.Maybe you know a shortcut to it.

Thanks buddie!

A complex topic.
Do you have any kind of video editing software? Are you on Mac or PC?
The basic things that'll make it smaller are:
Reducing the image size.
Reducing the frames-per-second.
Compression software.

There's some free video editing software available if you search around - might do the job.
If you let us know what form the video is in now and whether you're Mac or PC other people might have helpful ideas too.

Thanks for your prompt reply Al, Indeed "I guess" I managed the problem myself. I had fun editing my clip. Tell me what you think about the result. I wanted to do something special. I promise next ones will be improved...

Happy Selfsucking, buddie...

Please try this:

The problem persists: Now a codec stuff comes up. Sorry I give up!

Thanks Al anyway...!

Hi, Al. Here is the clip. Perhaps, it is not "a big deal" among other guys' posts, but for me it is the process that matters.

Thanks,

Hey Herman,
Don't be down on yourself, man - it's a beautiful clip - nice music, too!
I changed it to a zip file so people can download it.
Thanks for sharing!
