Emailing movie files quality

[Bryan]

I simply love MS Movie maker I have created so many movies by putting jpegs
taken with my digital camera to music and sent them by email to family.

My aging parents really appreciate being able to see the kids etc etc.
With the music it adds so much ....just love to watch them over and over.

Problem: I usually save them in the regular WMA format. In order to send
them email they must be under 7MB but the problem is the quality of the
pictures drop big time. Does anyone know of a format to save the file that
still preserves the quality but condenses the file to a managable size?????

============================
The high compression required for
e-mail will degrade the resolution of
your video files. If you make shorter
movie clips you may be able to save
them as Best Quality For My Computer
and have a completed file small enough
to e-mail.

The best method IMHO...is to save
in the best resolution possible...maybe
even using a Custom Profile and then
upload the file to a free site like YouSendIt...
then you just send the download link to
your recipients.

"YouSendIt"
http://www.yousendit.com/

All you have to do is enter an e-mail
address in the "To:" (Recipient) field
and click the "Browse" button to select
the file you wish to upload. Then click
the "Send It" button.

The next screen that appears will give
you the download link. Just copy/paste
it into the message to your recipients
who can download and view the file on
their computer.
