i agree totally, I didn't want it to be that big neither, but, I mean... it wasn't my cam, and the moviemaker software I have doesn't support .MOV files :( ..... any idea what I could use, that's free, to edit?

this is the bugger with newer MOV files using the Sorenson Quicktime codec.

In the quicktime player goto File...Export and save it as an AVI file. Then use another program (like windows movie maker in XP or something like virtualdu from www.virtualdub.org) to put into a compressed movie like Divx format for windows media format, WMV.

something like... "blink & smack" to convert it FROM any format TO any format.
look on download.com or do a google search.

Then use MS movie maker to chop it up... All free software.
(hmm, free if you own xp, i think).

Oh, by the way...nice video. (forgot to mention before)

Well I did what you said, got bink and smack, and converted it to avi, added music, and then converted that to wmv(because the .avi was like 100 megabytes..), with windows movie maker... so, here it is, with a smaller filesize... I'm terrible with the movie making crap, so, if anybody wants to edit the first one (the .mov) with a fade job at the beggining from like a screen that says "midget_man1387: just cruisin" or somethin like that, then fade out... you can also add different music... and if it's not to much, could you, at the end show my drift that's 15 seconds in... it goes from like 15:00 to 16 or 17... THANKS! and here's the link to the new one:

do you have windows media player? if you have windows XP or Millenium, you should have it automatically. if not, I dunno, try a search for it... should be free....
