  |  Need Video Assistance Please When it comes to anyting with video I know 0. Just got a video emailed from my son in Iraq, and the frames are so tiny it is hard to make out most things. Although I can spot him in the images I would like to see it a bit larger. So they were able to email it, it is in .wmv format and is 2.68MB. Is there anyway to increase the frames without sacrificing the clarity? I really would like to see his face better. Help.... |

Try this player from VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ If your trying to use Windows Media Player, it tends to be small. With VLC it's alot larger......

| That one seemed to wrok okay on the smaller scale, but when I tried to enlarge the video window it stuttered and hesitated on the video and audio. Thank you for that idea though. Any others? |

| I doubt anything can improve video quality for your video file. I have 700MB movie files and their video quality only improves a slight bit if i mess around with codec settings for hours. If the file was encoded lousily in the start, it will always be crappy. DivX will not help because .wmv files do not use the Divx codec. The DivX player may make it look slightly better but don't expect huge differences.

| HighPerf Thanks for the ideas, but unfortunately they did not work. Guess I will have to email him and ask him to mail me it on CD somehow. It has his re-enlistment on their while he is in Iraq, and I would like to see it better. Thanks so much.  |
