This is the best, I have been suffering for long and didn't know I had this on my laptop. Thanks a lot for this video

Worked great! My video file went from 4.37Gb to 544mb with only a small loss of sound and screen size - I did have to use the 'no sound' tip by Marc to click on that little wrench icon, going to audio codecs then selecting MPEG-4 AAC...fixed the issue perfectly - many thanks to Gizbot and Marc!!

When you download the TEACHPRO computer training course, a Windows videocompression not installed message is displayed. Maybe you know what there is not enough driver or what needs to be fixed in the computer, so that the training video course gets scared ??

Followed the procedure; a webinar of 400, 000 kB was reduced to one tenth its size. However, I lost the video! I rechecked the settings; Youtube HD, under encapsulation - MOV/MP4; video - H264; Audio MP3. Bit rate also the same as in the video. Where am I going wrong? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Omg thank you!!! For some reason one of my videos ended up saving at nesrly 18 GB, and this got it down to a MUCH more manageable number. Bless you friend!

For who's having a problem of no sound, choose the MPEG-4 (AAC) or update your VLC + I compressed the video 30mb into 10mb!

What about compressing a movie to fit on a 2 hour blank dvd? I didn’t see an option on your app for dvd. I need it to be able to play on my DVD player after compression & burning..

I DID NOT KNEW THAT VLC HAS THAT FEATURE TOO!!!
IT REALLY WORKED...! THANKS!'

This is great if one is making a video for YT, but what do all the other options represent? Which do we choose for emailing a video?

After converting\compressing to .mp4 - the video has 8 seconds delay (black screen), and then plays normally.. Sound plays normal from the beginning..
*In other windows player video and sound plays normally from the beginning, only when played with VLC..
Some thoughts?

If I want to compress using x265+MP3 I lose visuals and audio. Do you have a solution for this?
