You are probably rendering as "uncompressed" -this would
account for the huge file size. Perhaps you might try one
of the streaming formats (WMV, Real, or QT for Mac users)-
the "high bitrate" templates produce very high quality
video, and 10 minutes should fit on a CD. Make sure the end
user has an updated "player"- they can download them for
free from MSFT, Real, Apple.
