As the title goes,
Any one in Bournemouth/Poole area up to speed with computers cameras, video
Problem, all images I take seam to be to large to send in email/post etc
I have opened a photobucket account, but again the image seam to take forever to transfer
I have read & tried the link in the newbies section but no luck
I also have a Dogcam solid state recorder with video but again the files are so big I cant do bugger all with them.

Could anyone help, the problem with trying to follow links etc, is you never seam to be folling in the right direction & every PC seam to fly different

A bit embarasing rearly I can rebuild engines & gearbox's all day long, but this I am struggling with
Thanks in anticipation
 
Sounds like you are having issues with the imaging program your using doesnt have size/quality resizing so giving you large MB files.

Download paint.net - reopen your images, then save again as a jpeg but drop the quality (it will prompt you) it will also show you the file size

Or for pictures, use Irfanview, also a free application and excellent for slide shows as well.

+1 for irfanview for doing the same operation on multiple files

for video, I don't know what format your source is in
but Handbrake can probably handle it

I mostly use Handbrake to convert to H.264 in mp4
and Gordian Knot for xvid in avi

AutoGK is easier to use than Gordian Knot if you want to start with something simple


actually, I could do with a recommendation of something good to convert m2ts files
I'm not getting anywhere with Handbrake or avidemux at the moment

in case anyone has the same requirement, this is the solution I found.

The m2ts file contained h264 video and ac3 audio.
I used tsMuxerGUI to demux the m2ts file into seperate video and audio files
and then used MeGUI to mux them back together in an mp4 container
no time consuming video conversion, just a container change

this was so that my blu-ray player could play it from USB or network
