Damien Oh, you would instead not click ‘Other Settings’ and go on the dropdown, but click on the selection button ‘Best to fit file size:’ and type 50 MB. It works very well, as I just did one from 750MB to 43MB with virtually no loss of quality within mintues.

@Aman
Dude, if you shrink 10GB into 1KB (unless it’s a pointer or a db connect file) you’re not a genius, you’re a f*****g magician!

Very many thanks Damien

WMM worked a dream in compressing some .avi files from a Nikon Coolpix from 30MB -> 1.6MB!!! Not to mention the simple (but if you’re on a tight budget of £0.00) effective editing options.

I’m well impressed

This was a great help. Not hard to do and very clearly explained. It did the job for me.

Hello Damien Oh, I am currently working on a compression software application. This application would be able to compress any size of data into just 1KB. Yes!! Any size of data, For example 4GB, 10GB, 100GB and so on into 1KB. I am working very hard at my home on my pc. I am not a software developer. I am a student. But i have a very good knowledge of Programming. But i have something to ask. Actually i want to know that if i succeed in creating this application then, Will i be able to sell this application? How much will i be paid for this application? Can i sell this application to Microsoft or Sun Microsystem or IBM ? Please reply me. I will be waiting for your reply.

Thank You

Most Youtube optimization tutorials have you convert to the Windows Media Video (WMV) format because it does not loose AS MUCH quality when Youtube converts it again.

Youtube and several video sites support WMV movie upload, so it is not really that bad after all. If you don’t like it, you can still convert it to other format easily. You don’t really expect Microsoft to support other video format than their proprietary WMV format.

WMV=CRAP. Let the flame war begin.

This is a good alternative method, there are also Video converters in which u can compress videos to smaller sizes without losing its quality to a small extent, I prefer Fox Video Converter
