Default Re: Saving as a .avi file

When you get to the page where they ask how you want to save, choose DV-AVI
(NTSC).

The file will be enormous.

Default Saving as a .avi file

How do I get Movie Maker to save as a .avi instead of a .wmv? I'm using
Snapfish and they won't upload any .wmv, only .avi.

Thanks

Default Re: Saving as a .avi file

Thanks to both of you but I was trying to get the video smaller, not larger.
LOL It's from my digital camera and is an .avi to start but when I try to
save it, I can't. Is there any other way to reduce the size and still save
it as a .avi file?

Thanks

===================================
Checking the Snapfish website only states the
file must be MOV, AVI, 3gp or MPG and no
longer than 10 minutes. File (memory) size is
not mentioned.You can use Movie Maker to
split the video if it's too long.

Thanks John, I guess I'll have to find another site to put the .wmv videos on
then.

I appreciate your help.

==========================
My point was...if the file is an .avi...
or if you convert it to an.avi...and it's
no longer than 10 minutes you should
be able to upload it to Snapfish.

If all you wish to do is upload the file
so someone else can download it...
the following site may be useful.

"YouSendIt"

Good luck.

Default Re: Saving as a .avi file

John, I understand your point, but what I was trying to do was reduce the
size of the file so that some friends on dial-up can view the file without
having to wait forever. I'm on cable and average about 22Mbs and it still
takes a while for the video to load. I'm just trying to make it easy for my
friends who don't have broadband. When I saved the video as a DV.AVI, it
swelled to over 200MB. LOL

Ok...you could upload the .wmv to YouTube.

Default Re: Saving as a .avi file

Thanks John, I've also found that Putfile will take .wmv. I'm waiting for my
friends to get back to me about how long it took to view the original files
at Snapfish and will then make my decision.

Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it.
