Then you can mail the DVD. Unfortunately, Photo Story does not have DVD burning capabilities built in, but you can download this <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/storyactives.mspx" rel="nofollow">DVD-burning plug-in</a> or use Windows Vista DVD Maker. Sharry,

The picasa version should be somewhere in between the quality of the email version and the full .wmv file. But, yes, it's still pretty small. Sharry, A 20 minute movie is most likely a huge computer file. The sample video in this article is only 48 seconds and takes up 2.23 megabytes. I usually estimate 3-4 megabytes per minute. At that rate, yours would be 60 - 80 megabytes. That's big. Here's Youtubes advice on video file size: "Uploads usually take 1-5 minutes per MB on a high-speed connection, and converting your video takes a few minutes. Your video is limited to 10 minutes and 100 MB." Some other hosts limit you to 20 megabytes. Here is an article about <a href="http://desktopvideo.about.com/od/videohostingsites/a/vidsharing.htm" rel="nofollow">other Video hosting websites</a>. Hello FullTimerNormie,

I have used the maximum amount of pictures for each movie - each runs approximately 20 minutes. Is there any place I could upload these besides YouTube? I have 5 movies.

The comparison between the email version and the version uploaded to your website is sorta like comparing regular TV to HDTV...WOW you are right about the highest quality...what a difference. The Picasa version is similar in quality to the email version also....at least that is how it all plays on this computer I am on right now...I do not have access to YouTube from this computer so I can't compare that one. We are impressed with what can be done with PhotoStory 3 and you have given us the bug....we are going to download and play around with it this weekend. We love your postings...thanks for all the great info. Norma Hi Chris…very interesting info on movies.
