Hi Family !!!!

I just bought a WebCam, so that I can record a few Short clips of my Playing and get some comments and advice about my "Fretting" and "Picking" techniques. I've never played before another person, who plays Guitar and I'm very much worried about developing Bad-Habits.

I recorded my Fretting Hand and Picking Hand seperately, but the File size is about 60 Mb for a video of just 3 Minutes !!!!! Please help me, on how can I convert it to a smaller memory size. Which format would be size-efficient ? (Like MP3 is for audio)

Kindly advice.

Kush, can I recommend a video editing tool that comes free with Windows. It is located in C:\Program Files\Movie Maker and is very easy to use. Once you start the program you click on 'import video' and select the video you recorded of yourself (it can handle .avi files). As the file opens, it might be split up into different scenes. You simply drag the scenes you require for the new video from the main window to the timeline at the bottom.

Once you have all the appropriate scenes, you then click on 'finish movie' which gives you options of where to save the file and the quality settings of the new video. You should easily be able to get the video down to less than 10 megs and still retain reasonable quality. The video will be saved in .wmv format which can be uploaded to the forum. It really is that easy, shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

Look forward to seeing the video.
