I have awesome video of one of my new racks going off i was hoping to get posted before hales next week. My Bro-inlaw taped it but can't figure out how to compress the avi file to e-mail it to me to post. He said he tried to burn it to a disc and it wouldnt even fit on a cd, it's only like a 30 second video,Any pointers? Thanks.

If you have Windows, and assuming you do, it comes with a nifty program called Windows Movie Maker.

Open her up, Crtl + I to import a file, import it, drag it to the little time code, then go to file, Save Movie and viola, you have the same movie, but in MPEG format which is significantly less than AVI.

From movies I have made, a 30 second clip in AVI is usually about 9 MB, in MPEG it is less than 3 MB. You can also tinker with the quality of movie etc, therefor making it smaller, but also losing some quality.

Thanks for the reply MN, I hope to have the video up later tonite, it is of a new rack i designed going off in daylight so you can see how it performs, it is an aluminum frame / wood hybrid 30 shot angle that weighs 6 lbs, without tubes, 30lbs with tubes and it is only 1'x2' and easily stacked 6 high so it takes up almost no starage space for 180 tubes!
