Re: help! my file is too large

Caroling,
I am no professional - I shoot with a Fuji Finepix A345 (3 mega pl)
and a Nikon 3700 Coolpix (3.2 Mp). The file format for both cameras
seems to be jpg by default. I do not know if a TIFF or other non
compressed format is available in the camera settings. I have not
had much success shooting in JPG, then converting to TIFF, then
working with images. If the camera shoots in JPG, then...?
As for conversion program - The file stitcher I use has a button on
it that "exports" the JPG to MOV with the single click of a button.
I have no user control over this process, just click the button, get
the MOV.
I am sure your advice is sound, both logically and experientially, I
just dont know of the other JPG to MOV conversion programs.
