Shrinking videos for Youtube

Trying to post that video of my stupid golf swing on Youtube. The video uploads ok but it is like 4 times too big. So, I only get the top left corner showing of the video. I'm uploading mpeg4 - is there some editing software I have to use first to shrink the video size? I found some freeware from motionbox but I can't download the video after shrinking it so that I can post it on Youtube. The controls on motionbox seem not so great for pausing and rolling through the video frame by frame, which is what I would like to do.

I tried photobucket first but the videos were too big there too. Motionbox seemed to shrink them automagically.

and here I thought it was a typo since the "g" is directly under the "t" on the keyboard.

reminds me of the use of Thermodamnmagic that replaced thermodynamics in engineering school.
