    I have a 255 MB video on my computer that I want to put on the internet. Is that to big? If so, how do I get it a smaller file size?

    Read some posts here, do a search, get some sense of what you need to ask in more detail, tell us a lot more about what programs you have, who your
    audience is, all kinds of things. And yes 255MB is pretty big. How long is your video?

    I have adobe premiere, I was using a trial of adobe after effects (but thats done now), I have like Archsoft Showbiz that came with my computer and Moviemaker of course. I am a college student and they have more programs on campus computers.

    What would I need? Are there open source compressing programs?

    It is about a 50 secs video.

    Microsoft has a free encoder to Windows Media 9, which, along with Flash, is the most
    common format on the web.
