Save my computer! Video help?

[HOLWACHAGOT]

Save my computer from me! I am gonna smash it with a baseball bat then put a slug through it! I have been wasting endless hours trying to edit videos...I have finally figured out enough about my software(Pinnacle Studio 11 ultimate) to do this OK. The videos I have been making are working very well on my home coputer...FINALLY! You guys can't watch them though...It seems the AVI files are way too large. So, last night I finally figured out a way to reduce the size of a test video from around 7.5 GB to around 93 MB(with quite a bit of resolution lost). OK no problem...we can deal with that...BUT...when I uploaded the video, after all seemed well, I went to view it and there is nothing but a black screen and the audio track- complete with sound effects and all. The same file which shows up black with only sound on the videos section still works fine on my media player. I am so frikkin frustrated I think I might take up golf....well....maybe not quite that bad. HELP!

Is the file you are uploading a WMV? What's the screen resolution (in pixels)?

94 x 65? Back to the drawing board.

Holwachagot,,,,I feel your pain brother.

I am an idiot, so PM FLATBOTTOM...he sent me a file explaining how to compress the videos for upload and so far it works great with about 6 videos done that way.

GOOD LUCK!!
