as many of you know i post some of the stuff i play to youtube, so tonight i wound up recordin a decent version of sing me back home, problem is its 13 minutes.. and youtube only allows 10, what program or how can i split the video into 2 section. my computer automatically plays it in windows media player, any help asap would be good.

If you're OS is windows - Windows movie maker
Mac - I-movie

see if you have either of those

There should be a window with a selecter button in Windows Movie Maker that says "Compress?" (this is one of the last steps right befor you give the command to "Produce" the video). You select the button and use the pull-down box that lets you select how much. I set it to 100, which is the max file-size YouTube allows, which I'm assuming will compress your vid to the max size YouTube allows. The compression seems to give a lower video quality (which is still good enough), but to my ear, maintains the audio quality.

if I'm not mistaken (I'm assuming Pete B. means 100mb) they've upped the limit to 1 gig per vid. Pretty sure.

not seeing that in the movie player? care to elaborate on where i can find it.. btw i found a way to split it where i wanted but then the file type wasnt one youtube accepts, so that wont work
