avi or wmv to mpg?

[Winin]

I have some baby movies in avi format. I can make wmv's with Windows Movie Maker, but the files are still too large to email. How can I convert them to mpgs? Or is the best thing to do to upload to youtube or google video?

I know that you can password protect your YouTube.com videos, so that might be a good option.

I burn em to DVDs and mail them, that way the people that want to see them, can just pop em into any available player.

Photobucket allows you to upload videos and share the site with people. I have no idea about the specifics on it as I have not done it. Just noted it last time I was there.

Hmmm, thanks for the tips. I bet a password protected youtube or photobucket or something would be best. I don't have enough or long enough vids to warrant DVDs, and the family doesn't want to wait for baby vids. They want them NOW!!!!!!

There's a few options in WMM that'll let you strip out even more video quality and sound quality to really shrink a video down.
I'd opt for the passworded youtube video though. It'll just be easier to do. Depending on the length of the file you'd really have to strip it down to nothing to get it to go through almost all mail servers except for maybe google which is somewhat generous on their attachment size.

Thanks. I wound up creating a low res version to put on my phone and a high res version to put on photobucket. Youtube's password protect isn't very good. You have to invite people and they have to have accounts and you can only do a few people. Seemed a pain.

Agreed! I was looking at it yesterday.

I have a ISO video file that I need to convert to AVI or WMV or MPG or something. I have no idea how to do this, did you see anything about ISO?

don't use photobucket if she's not fully clothed!

They deleted some vids of my son and some pics cause his plums were all out in the open.
Man I'm so proud the were like the size of his fists.
hmm that's not weird is it?
I mean I don't find them attractive, just proud that he's hung like a baby ox.
yea...not weird.....

I haven't run into ISO files before, or wait, aren't they the disk image formats?

And no, I didn't post a girls gone wild video.

Correction! It's an IFO file. I've never seen that format before. The video actually looks to be made up of three files: an IFO, a BUP, and a VOB. You have to run the IFO file, but it looks like the data is actually in the VOB file (it's the biggest of the three).

Basically Athene, those are the parts that make up a video DVD. I think IFO is the menu. The VOB is the video itself.

You basically need a DVD ripper to convert those to an AVI. A google for 'dvd to AVI' should turn up around a billion or so.
