Video Camera to CD - File size
I'm trying to help a friend out. I have sucessfully uploaded a tape from his Panasonic Digital Video Camera. The track is 5.5 minutes long but the file size is 1.8Gb which makes it impractical to record on to a CD, or DVD.
The file is an AVI file and it plays in Windows Media Player and Panasonic's Motion DV Studio that came with the camera.
Is there a way to reduce the file size? And, would it be best burned to a CD or to a DVD?
Any ideas would be welcomed
Thanks
