  Need Help Uploading 1st Video

  Posted by adamseve on April 17, 2009 at 3:33 am

  I finally got the courage to record a video and it doesn’t look half bad. Only problem is it is 144 MB and each time I try to upload it the alert says it shouldn’t be larger than 128 MB. HELP!

  I used my new Logitech Webcam , but I don’t see any way to edit it to reduce the size. Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance for your help!

  Did you try uploading directly from the camera? Or from a file that you’d uploaded to you computer from the Camera? This is called a scratch file and can be crazy lady sizes. We have a 1Tb hard drive we use for our scratch file capture – and we do short stuff. Our Big Mac has at least 2Tb hard drive storage on top of that, purely for video capture.

  My suggestion is to put it through a video editing programme to compress it. iMovie, Vegas, WMM (if you must).
  And edit out bits that aren’t so hot, like wandering up to turn the camera on and / off.
  The compression will shrink the file size to something more palatable for the SV servers.
  It may take a while, but it’s worthwhile.
