HELP! HELP! HELP!

[Banger]

I guess i am learning this slowly but surely. I recently took some Film of a funeral which was requested by the Family.
i prayed that it would be OK and thankfully it was. It works fine on pc and DVD but only offcoarse when inserted .It was a Bikers funeral with over 100 bikers present. So offcoarse 75% of them want a copy.
Can i copy the Disc onto my computer and then send a link to their e-Mail addresses?
If so how do i copy the disc onto my computer then set up the link?
Or have i no choice but to make a copy for all of them instead of them burning the link onto their own DVD.

HELP! I have a Large group of Ugly Bikers on my Back!!

if you are trying to email a link to the dvd files on your pc, so's the others can then download from you, forget about it. a full dvd is 4.5 gigabyte. a tad too big for email & even way too big to put on your free webspace, should you have any

the only thing you could do is use bittorrent, but this would require you & everybody else to have a working knowledge of how it works.

burn a few cds & give them out to others who have dvd burners, then get those people to copy a few & pass them on.

Cookie's right...and I like his idea of burn two and pass them on...that'd work well .

You could put a copy of the film in a folder on your PC and make it available for download through an instant messenger service like IM, or ICQ, but as Cookie says, it's be a whopper of a download.....even of broadband, the biggest file I've ever gone for is 2gb.

How about a compromise......take some stills from the video and email those out, then burn a copy for yourself and send a copy on a 'round robin' trip for them to look at.

Hmmmm...that's not quite true actually...I've downlaoded ripped films overnight quite a few times....but you're not going to have anything like the bandwidth to allow that.......

I'll get me coat....

Or - often the reason pictures from a digital camera are so big is because of the resolution - very often each individual picture is very large (say 1024x768 or even double / treble that) - you can get software which will batch process image files to reduce the size of them, so that they will take up less file space.

I use Macromedia Fireworks, but I expect there are free tools available out there. Try typing in something like "free image file size reduction software" into google. - Worth a try if the DVD idea doesn't appeal, and you're perhaps prepared to be a bit more selective with the pics you dish out.
