I've got a 800mb file that I need to compress to 500mb to upload to vimeo but can't figure out how to compress with quicktime on a pc. Anyone out there know how?

If you upgrade to QuickTime Pro ($29) you can do it in Quicktime via Exporting with different settings.

Can Windows Movie Maker read it? If so you should be able to change format and compress it--I *think*.

That's what I thought. I upgraded but get an error when I try and export. Can you do it with a PC or just a mac?

ah, think i figured it out

window media maker can compress to a few different sizes, but it has to be able to be opened with media maker. I usually select the least compression to keep the quality better on vimeo. with youtube, they only let you store a 10min video, and they decimate the quality even further.
my last 10min video on vimeo was about 220MB, but it could have been near 50 if i chopped the quality in media maker.
