How do I get video clips suitable for e-mail?

[bigskyfarm]

I am using Movie Factory 4, and can import, add music etc and make a reasonably nice dvd to burn and mail. But how can I get/save small clips to e-mail?

Hi Carla,

MF is designed to create output in DVD quality (or VCD or SVCD), and this output is generally much too large for email.

If you have Windows XP SP2, then you can simply use MS Movie Maker, which can create output for email.

I do have Windows Movie Maker, but when I try and import the video off my mini dvd (I use a sony handycam), it is in iso format and WMM will not import it. now what should i do? thanks!

Altho my WMM is shutting down on me each time I run it! guess I need to check for updates. Thank you.

Bigskyfarm,

Are you using MF4 or MF4 Disc Creator?

What you can try is this:

With your video in the timeline, select Export>Customize. The export is the 2nd Icon from the bottom on the left. Now in the Save As dialogue box, click on the pull down menu. There are several formats to choose from. One of those being Windows Media, wmf, asf. Select it, and then hit the Options button. Now on the Profile Tab click on the pull down menu, and you will find several Profile options to choose from.
