Wow, great guide. No bullsh*t, only useful information, and actual does what it promises. Thanks!

Followed the steps exactly to convert my almost 300MB video into something smaller, when clicking "Start" VLC goes to the black default screen as if no video is selected, no progress bar is shown, and no file is inside the folder that I chose to save the converted file to. Help? I have tried so many different options but no luck so far it just seems to do nothing.

This was so simple and helpful, thank you!

[aaishaleonard]

Such easy instructions, no nonsense. I loved it. thank you

[johnAmschler]

Thank you for this guide. Concise and time saving.

you can also turn down the framerate to 30 fps, which can save some more space if you need to fit some specific size constraints.

[vaniateixeira]

Thank you so much. Clear and efficient.

My file's total bitrate in the properties is shown as 0kbps... Would you know what to do?

[deepthroat]

Does not seem to work for VLC for Mac. I don't even have the same options. for example CONVERT / STREAM is only option, and there is no button for "ADD" or any way to change the bitrate.

Many thanks it was so usefull for me! very clear!!

At 1:28, you talk about downsizing the resolution to 720p. all we'd have to do is change the width to 1280 and the height to 720. How do I find out the original height and width dimensions for DSCF videos? Or does that not matter? Or maybe the better question is how did you determine what size to downsize to? Also, you said 720P. What does P stand for?

Thanks for the awesome video. You're a lifesaver! :)

[albertpalazon]

thank you god baby Jesus for this life saving tutorial

[SniperB-gh]

Thanks man, stuff actually works but one question: can I repeat process in the same video to keep reducing it's size?

[JasonMackey]

Followed the instructions exactly, but it did not work for me.

[Mr.JanJasmin]

I just noticed that the compressed file is not a VLC file with the cone icon. Instead, I'm seeing a blue clapperboard icon with a pay button inside. When I clicked the compressed file to play it Windows Media Player opened and said the file couldn't be played because the format wasn't supported! Of course, it's not supported! I was trying to compress a VLC video into a compressed VLC video! Somehow it was converted as well as compressed. I also noticed before clicking the compressed file that the new bitrate wasn't displaying at all.

[herothehedgefox]

Okay setting the bitrate to 5k is making it export as 10k for some reason, am i friggin stupid????

[Kallamadama]

When I do this is only changes the video width but not the video height...

I'm having trouble saving the new file... I choose a different folder, change the target file name so it's not the same as the original file and I still get a "you need to override the original file or dismiss the changes." Even if I choose to override, the process starts over and it asks again the same question.
