  • Compression to use to email clips

    What is a good compression to use on clips so that I can attach them to an email? I want to use it on Quicktime movies. I tried WinZip but that didn’t squeeze it nearly enough.

    Thanks,

    Chaz S.

    The problem is you’re trying to compress already compressed clips. (Hopefully, you’re not emailing uncompressed video! :-D, just kidding). I would try Stuffit, particularly Stuffit X compressor. Beyond that RAR may be helpful. The potential problem is that you will have to educate your end users a little bit on what tools to use to uncompress.
