    Resolved [RESOLVED] Reducing size of mp4

    What ho one and all,

    I have a number of mp4 videos that I would like to burn to a DVD. Unfortunately, the combined size is larger than 4.5gb. The average size of each vid is around 500mb. The simple answer is to reduce to around 350 - 400 mb. I know there is a slight reduction in quality, etc, but other 350mb (and smaller) mp4 vids I have look just fine for entertainment purposes.

    But I am having no luck. Handbrake on its basic settings ends with a larger file; same with Any Video Converter or Freemake Vid Converter There must be an easy way to reduce the file size by 20%? I have tried reducing the size, resolution, frame rate, sampling rate, etc, but I don't really understand what I am doing and why reducing any of these gives me a larger file.

    Grateful for any advice.

    Toodle pip and thanks

    Rex
    What if the Hokey Cokey IS what it's all about?

    Have been playing around with Handbrake some more and seem to have found a solution. Can now reduce the file size by the required amount and the quality does not appear to be impared.

    Glad to hear that. Been just to many years since I messed with videos.
