How to compress your video files (WMV, AVI, MPEG, FLV etc)

Filed under: How-to — admin @ 9:47 am

This guide will show you how to compress your videos using our video conversion software. This tutorial will work for WMV, AVI, MPEG, FLV, DIVX, XVID, ASF, MOV and VOB videos.

This example video compression exercise started with an 1.81MB MPEG file, after it was only 962KB!

Tools required; FXBear Video Converter

Step 1; Open the software, and locate your files/folders to be converted

Step 2; Select & Add your desired folder to the convert list

Step 3; Select output format.

  • Click desired format.
  • Change outputt video settings; by default set to same as source
  • To compress your videos, select lower bitrates than the original source video uses. So for example you want to compress an MPEG video. The source MPEG file has a bitrate of 4250, you will want to select a lower bitrate (e.g. 768) and then select a lower audio bitrate. We’d recommend not changing the frame-size or frame-rate unless you know what your doing.

Step 5; Click the ‘CONVERT NOW’ button and let the software do it’s job.

Job done! You will be able to find your new MPEG-1 video in the output folder you selected (Desktop as default)

  2. I wanted to compress an AVI file I made to a smaller format to e-mail a 30 second clip. Would this be a WMV file? I tried that and the clip would not open.

    Could you please assist?

    Thanks
