I had actually checked out that tutorial and
have done some compression in WindowsMedia (cumbersome because I have to convert
from .mov, which comes from my camera, to .avi so that it can be read in Windows
Media. That compression works but the files are then .wmv files and I note
that, at least Our Media, seems to prever Quicktime (.mov). (Though I've
just checked blip.tv and see that the preferred format seems to be
.wmv)

Compression
Hi Bev,
Check out the tutorials at: http://freevlog.org/#compress
Sounds
like you want the one for iMovie (even if you're not using
iMovie -
the QuickTime part will be the same).
