I made my first video on my digital camcorder and now i am a bit lost on linking it in the html, is it a direct simple link? or something along the lines of Real Audio stuff?

If you link to it, then when people click on the link it will load the MPEG in Windows Media Player. However, those that want to save it on their harddrive can simply rightclick on the link and select "save target as.."

Anyone got any recommendations software to use for transfering my vid's from my camcorder to the desktop

also, my "audience" is mainly in anchorage = cable and bethel = 56k

what would you suggest is the best type to produce for both these connections?

Using MGI VideoWave III.....I tired the very fastest of windows media = no voice...If i select windows media 512k, its like 300 megs...

The one that was uploaded was mpeg-1 web video - good quality was about 3-4 megs...

Should i stick with mpeg? how about for those slow connections

hehe, alot of questions, prob could have sumed them up in 1 line :D

Well, I have an extremely limited experience with this. I have MGI VW IV, which I assume is similar. If your visitors are on dialup, then I don't think you'd want to use the 512K setting, as it will be too large and too fast for your visitors. Sadly, the 56K version probably will be smaller and not great quality. I do mine in 250K but again, slow users will get choppy streams.
