I was finally able to upload the videos of our IBM team members to the web and learned a little something along the way. My camera settings were way too high, resulting in file sizes of over 35MB on some of them. With a 1GB storage limit on the site and 26 videos to upload, I thought I was going to have to upgrade to more storage on the web.
Being that "research" is my middle name, I did a little digging and discovered a method to convert the files to .wmv and dramatically decrease their size in the process to under 1MB each. I was also able to configure it to batch process them all so that I could just set it up and walk away while they all converted. I then uploaded them to the web site. At the earlier sizes, one video took over 1-2 hours. After conversion, the whole 26 of them took less than 15 minutes!
I would like to introduce IBM Group #2, or as I like to call them, The Orlando Sentinel Team:

There are 27 on the team but only 26 videos. Bijon was absent but I will add his as soon as I get it.
