    hi all...I don't even know if this is the correct place to post this, but at least it's a start.

    I am trying to upload my AVI videos that are on my hard drive to youtube, but the file size is too large. The video itself is only 5 1/2 minutes, and the length requirement for you tube cuts off at 10. It is 165 MB, and YT only allows 100MB. What program do I use to compress the video file size down so that I can post it? Is there even any program that does that, or am I living in a fantasy world?

    Use the program from this website and convert to .flv format.
    I don't know of any software that can shrink video files,but if you convert to .flv the size will be smaller and it's quality will still be the same and when you upload it to youtube it will be quicker as youtube converts files that aren't .flv to flv making your upload quicker.
    Enjoy!
