    Default How to compress further?

    How can I compress videos more effectively? On windows movie maker I saved the file for YouTube and halved the size of the file but it's still 200mb
    At 8 minutes long, how can I make the file smaller? I used to use AVS but got a new computer and lost my login - I am happy to purchase decent software to help me with this.

    Email size on windows movie maker, in wmv...on AW you want it to be cheap as they can get full length high quality rentals for 3 credits, they're just after quick wank material with movies and it's meant to just be pay to view.

    I recommend HandBrake for compression, I'm a mac user but I'm 80% sure they have a PC version as well. The user interface has a lot going, but its not that bad. Watch a few videos on setting it up and you should be good to go. It's free and allows you to set up a group of videos to compress so your not sitting at the computer doing one at a time.

    Handbrake is good for compression without losing too much quality. You can also reduce the quality and compress the file even more. There is a free windows version.

    I personally use xmediarecode. It's free as well. http://www.xmedia-recode.de/en/download.html. If you save it as WMV with 3kbps the file size for 8 minutes is about 50mb-80mb in a normal light situation.

    Better light (e.g. nice sunlight outside) makes the file bigger because the quality is better. Can't explain this technically, but I notice it time and again.

    This shouldn't quite be the case. Lots of things factor into file size but quality lighting should decrese file size, unless the lighting is causing lots of movement in your background (ie: light flickering though trees, fluttering curtains ect)

    Thank you!! Will try and report back

    I will be cutting the videos down and selling them in 2/3 minute bursts as I film long videos.

    Can I use Handbrake for this also?

    I need to compress so I can email them to my boyfriend so he can see the full thing, and on some sites I want to sell them whole
