We recommend downloading and installing the free “open-source” FLV player from VideoLan Organization in order to view on your PC; http://www.videolan.org/vlc/.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
Whichever file format you choose you can email either compressed AVI or the FLV videos in an email attachment, copy them to a USB thumb drive or burn them to a CD or DVD disc for distribution.
 
  
If you choose to use uncompressed AVI in its original hi-res format, this is typically not able to be emailed due to its large format file size. We suggest using a USB thumb drive, or burn them to a CD or DVD disc for mailing.
