How do you make a MP4 file smaller ?

Can I resize it or something ?

Can I use some program to edit the length....and make smaller clips out of it ?

I'm not totally sure but a program like sony vegas might be able to do it. Its a very expensive program but can be found using torrents

Re-render it in a different/smaller resolution?

I tried that...but the audio goes away

I think I might just shoot them in a lower resolution tomorrow

After reading your other thread I can't wait to see this video wish I knew how to help you

MP4 video, not audio (AAC), I suppose?

You need a video transcoder program. I know Quicktime Pro on Mac does it, along with a bunch of other Mac software. FFmpeg, VisualHub, etc. 2 minutes on google hasn't yielded any good results for Windows however.

How about uploading the video to YouTube, then sending them the link for it? Beats the hell out of sending large files in emails.

I haven't tried it but it's free and supports a ton of formats:

Runs on Windows.
