sean: youtube does have a size limit. if you use windows moviemaker you can set a max size for the final product and the program will 'do all the work' to get the file size right. all the videos i've posted have been made with windows moviemaker. it is 'free' to licensed versons of of windows. if you computer doesn't have it as default (i believe all winXP pre-SP2 versions did not include the moviemaker) you can download from microsoft. dave scobie M15 #288 - SCRED visit Scred's www-site: http://www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred --- On Wed, 2/11/09, Nebwest2@aol.com <Nebwest2@aol.com> wrote: I've been playing with a video camera myself but since I got my new camera I can't seem to get any of my videos to upload to Youtube. Your videos were a round 8 or 9 minutes long. Do you know how many megs they were? I'm wondering if using my camera in the high quality setting is making the files too long to post. If so, is there a way to making them lower resolution after you have taken them so you can post them?? Thought you might have the answer. Sean M23 "Dauntless"
