Question asked on Jan 28, 2016

The old Movie maker (in Wondows XP, good rest its soul and I wish I had it back) gave you an option to select an exact file size, then the program would render it to that size.

WHY on Earth would someone remove such an amazing option?

People still have email accounts that will not let you exceed 20mb. This option was great.

I choose to save a 70mb video (mp4) to the option labeled "for email" and it saved it as 700mb!  10 times the size!

Come on! WHERE is Microsoft's head? (that's a rhetorical question, we all know where it is, but can we get it out for a breather?)

OK, is there that option hidden somewhere where I don't see it?
