Any way to compress a video file?

    I've got a video (currently in Windows Media)
    that I'd like to email someone but it's too large
    (about 14k kb).

    Any way to compress that so it can be emailed?

    Thanks!

    It is already compressed. You can use a video editing program to reduce the quality of the video to make is smaller. E.g. you can cut out unneeded parts, make the video image smaller, reduce the framerate, use more aggressove compression..

    Use DivX it will make everything nice and small.

    Thanks! Always good to know.

    The reason I wanted to know was to be able to make
    a video file small enuf to email - then I discovered
    places like www2.sendthisfile.com where you can send
    virtually unlimited file sizes for free.

    Life is good! :p
