audio file size

[cpmomcat]

When exporting the sound from a small movie clip (812 KB) into AIFF format (so that it will be easily played on a PC), the audio file ends up being much larger than the file that contained video and audio -- 1.7MB! There are some compression tools offerred, but I don't have a clue about which one is best for sound that can be played on both PC & Mac. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, when I send the .mov clip to PC users, they cannot view it (even though I saved the file as a self-contained movie).

Again, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

take your aiff file and turn it into an MP3 file.
