OK, I've done it with one. Now, when I attach it to an e mail, it says 990k for the size and when I mouse over the file in the bubble it says 746 KB and I'm sure the default was 64kbps, might have even been 48, but it wasn't bigger than 64 anyways.
So I think this boils down to what jwys_soapbox had said (which I noted above) how Marty is seening the files on his end as a different size. Please post here if anyone can elaborate on this angle as I'm completely lost on this and I'd like to be prepared on the topic when I go back to Marty about this (as I won't be in contact with him unti Thursday so I'd hope to have this topic fuly researched by then. I'd post the test clip I did here but I doubt it would fit as I know pics here don't work unless they're pretty small. Thanks in advance.
