I'll assume I hook my camera to the AVI converter, and the converter to my computer??? Let me know. I'll do anything!
I'm also going to assume that the boys at Flo have something like that. They'll get matches up within the hour. I can't get them up within the day!!!!!!
Thanks for the advice!
your results may vary!!
download this or other freeware like it
http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/
download your video files from your camera to your computer
launch the freeware.
convert the native format (mp4s or whatever) to avi's using the freeware. you will have to play with the settings to get something that is quality and small(er) enough to make it worth your effort. i can't really help much here because i just found mine by trial and error and i'm sure the right setting for you will be different anyway. but once you find the right setting for your native files it should make a huge difference with little loss in quality. some of mine that are 400+ MB mp4s convert to 40-50 MB avi's.
also, make sure you are not recording on HD (720 or 1080). it makes no sense to record videos that are destined for the web at such a high resolution. it only results in massive files sizes that lose all that extra resolution once they are uploaded anyhow.
now, just upload the smaller avi's. your ISP and anyone in your house trying to watch Netflix while you are doing this will thank you. haha
