Okay, I have a question for you computer whiz-kids.

I made a vid and the finished product is close to 80mb in wmv format! O_O
I have no idea why it's so big, since it's only 6mins. Anyway, is there an easy way for me to zip it up so it's a bit smaller?

I really don't think anyone will dl 80mb. I made a small version, but I'd really like to upload the large version for anyone who is interested, because the large version is so much nicer.

Right click the file > Send To > Compressed (zipped) Folder

Or you could download WinRAR or WinZIP and do it that way.

I tried that first way already and it only makes the file 1mb smaller than it was. I thought it was supposed to make the file a lot smaller?

I think I have winRAR at home, so I might be able to try that one.

Thanks!

Well, if you use WinRAR and make a ZIP folder from that, you can set the compression to Best and it reduces it pretty good. I have a 109mb file and it compressed it down to 95mbs.

Cool! I'll see if I can do that. I have this feeling it stopped working because I didn't pay for it and the trial ran out, but maybe I can re-dl it.

Even if the trial runs out you can still use it. It just pops up everytime saying 'BUY ME!'

Okay. Sorta like the dl manager I use then. It makes a fuss every time, yet works fine.

Oh, I have something that can fix that, but it's a .exe, so I don't know how I'd get it to you (zipping often doesn't work).

I'm told *points up* it'll work anyway, but I think if you put the .exe into a file and zip it (yes I know, the irony) my email doesn't screen it out. :P

I'll try, but I think my sis has tried that with gmail before and it didn't work.

You could try my uni mail account. That's the one I meant. Have you got that address? I'll email you the address. The spam filter on it is really crappy. Gmail is miles beyond out uni on spam control measures.

I can't actually send out of gmail with the zip, actually. I could try raring.

Don't worry about it. Sounds like the program is gonna work anyway. Prob not worth the effort. Thanks Rinne.
