Mate when I use Adobe Premiere Pro there are various options when you decide to render the final cut of the original footage you might have been working on, there should be option in the program your using to select the type video format (eg Avi, Mpeg, QuickTime etc, etc) and in there normally have 1 or 2 types of compression with allot of these formats.

There are also some software programs you could download the trial version and try, there have names like "total video converter" is one from memory that also do a pretty good job.

Option 1
If you open PD Express and after you edit your clip click on Produce tab you get a choice of what you want to do with the file. Click on the streaming button that looks like the planet earth and follow the prompts, you will have a drop down list with several options on saving the file for the net. Try converting the same small file with different formats till you find one you like. It is very hungry program so it will use all your resources to convert even a small file.

Option 2

Use Windows Movie Maker, In the finish Movie tab click save to my computer and select a location to save it to and click next. In this window click on show more choices. Now you have two choices, you can select Best fit to file size and set it at 100MB or you can click Other settings and try different setting to see what you prefer.

I would recommend you keep your clips fairly short so they convert and upload easier.
