same AV cable that came with camera..

Works great(make sure to update audio device in the device manager),
but what do i do to send these through e-mail. Seems that the files are
to large. I compressed in zip file, but only went from 155mb down to
125mb. Errors of could not send; or file to large.


You'll need a video editing app for this. Evidently that model ships
without one.
Personally, I use Pinnacle Studio, but there are many available.]


You don't need an editor simply to transcode to a compressed format.
Windows has a free program called Windows Media Encoder that will transcode
to small .wmv files (at the cost of a quality, of course).
