I just recieved a JVC GR-D244U mini DV digital cam corder. Works great,
no problems. I wanted to transfer videos to PC. Found coolgear.Hooks to same AV cable that came with camera.. http://store.yahoo.com/compusb/vicaandedgrx.html 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. |

When I send a video file by e-mail I convert the files to Quicktime which compresses them to a managable size. -- Charles |

You'll get much better quality. |

Thanks for the reply. I was basically told the same thing by our pc
manager at work. just wanted the instant gratifacation in sending these to grand parents and family members.He also mentioned that the recipient usually does not have the large file capacity needed to recieve these type files. sometimes even to many photos causes unsenable size files. Thanks again. |

Windows has a free program called Windows Media Encoder that will transcode to small .wmv files (at the cost of a quality, of course). -- Big Bill Replace "g" with "a" |

I had heard that, but was unable to find the software to do so. I had
even ordered and recieved the cable(was hopeing it was as simple as plug and play, no driver software) no such luck. i had video capturing software to copy dvds. maybe I was trying to get by cheap. THanks |
