WMV compression on PC
What is the best and cheapest way to compress a .wmv file on a PC? It is currrently 18 MB and I need to get it to less than 10 MB. It just needs to be visible, not necessarily competitive in quality.
thanks, Molly

Also, you want to make sure to have WMP11 installed on the machine, which will give you an updated version of the codec.
Can you tell us a little more about what you’re trying to do, and perhaps post a link to your current clip? We can offer more specific examples with that.
