Sony HandyCam DCR-DVD306E

    I bought the DCR-DVD306E a couple of weeks back and the only trouble I'm having with it is editing the videos once I upload them onto my computer. This particular camera records onto mini DVDs. When I upload the videos to the computer, they're in .mpeg format.

    I've tried using Windows Movie Maker, and I tried some free editing software from the internet, but no luck. None of the programmes I used seem to want to let me do anything with these video files.

    As it is now, the video output will fill the whole screen.

    What I really wanna do is make the file-size smaller i.e. make the output smaller, because when I try to upload videos to YouTube, they've gotta be done in 2 minute segments each, as they have a 100MB upload limit, and this is really getting on my nerves at this stage.

    Does anyone have any suggestions, ideas, answers, anything?

    I had a similar problem with my DCR-DVD755 but was able to use windows movie maker to edit the clips. When i was done there was an option from the file menu in WMM-> -save movie file- <-This took a while but it compressed the video from what I could figure out. When i uploaded edited videos to Youtube i was only limited by the length of the clip. 10 minutes clips were coming in under 2MB including video, music and credit templates etc. I'll mess around with it again and see if i can remember what way i did it.
