Bart,

Thank you for the tip!  I downloaded version 7 as im on an older computer 
that WILL NOT handle v9.  I compressed a few of my WMV files.  It typically 
took a 3.5MB file down to .5MB!  nice!  But, with my new digital camera 
(not camcorder), i can only get AVI files.  For now ive got a divX encoder, 
but its only a 15 day trial.  Do you know how to get the microsoft program 
work with AVI files?  I cant get it to work :(  Well, maybe i should figure 
it out for myself...

Thanks for the tip!

Steve
