Movie Question...

I had never made a movie using Fraps so I did one yesterday. The .Avi came out alright but as you'll know, its huge!.....What software is there to "convert" and reduce the size of it so I can insert in YouTube_??...Thank you.:kilroy:
 
Try Windows movie maker Gera. It usually works nicely and all you have to define is the file type and the size of the file you want.

It would be nice to see videos based on your missions.They are certainly movie material.:applause:

gera, nice avatar
I use Movie Maker as well. There are 3 versions of it and as far as I know you use any or all of them in Windows. HD is in the one that comes with Vista. But, all three can be downloaded as freeware, I think.

However, for conversion, you may want to consider and try this freeware.

There are many options available and it is fast.

Editing of the converted video for titles, credits, effects, and transitions is done next in Windows Movie Maker.
 
If you get interested in making more than one video, and you start thinking of video editing beyond Movie Maker, then I would highly recommend Sony's Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9. It's less than $100 USD. You can download a fully functional demo which runs for 30 days to check it out. I used Power Director for a couple projects, but it kept crashing and worse, corrupting files. Vegas Movie Studio is much more stable. It comes with many tutorials and you can get up and running quickly.

I'd recommend making your first movie in Movie Maker and see if you even like the movie making process. Then if you want to do more, invest in a copy of Vegas Movie Studio.
