I have Fuji F10 digi camera and am able to do short video records with. When I transfer video record from F10 to my computer's screen I would need compress it to smaller size.
Click with right mouse's gadget on the symbol of video record on the computer screen there are order Compress and email. But it doesn't work because 10Mb object for instance, stays after that 10 MB again. ????

In order to reduce the video size you need to re-encode or reduce slightly in quality, the trick is to do both without any noticeable difference to the audience. DIVX is probably the best online tool for re-encoding video as it has presets that allow you to choose how much quality your are willing to trade. I have worked with files around 10 meg before on DIVX and managed to get them down too approx 1 meg with little difference in quality . Hope this helps

"Real" offers some decent compression tools as well, but as Degens mentioned it is a trade off in quaility/rame rate for size. However most email systems will only pass files up to 5mb.
