  • In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how you can make a video file smaller so it takes up less space on your computer. This way you can place your videos into a PowerPoint presentation, upload it to Discord, or even email it. We use a free and open source video transcoder called Handbrake to compress a video with minimal quality loss.

    Thanks a lot to you, Mr.Kevin Stratvert!
    Indeed a timely assistance in our daily works.
    We have been doing somewhat a roundabout job to cut the size of our videos to desirable size with some loss in quality. Your straight forward and simple method is of great help to us.
    Hands-on-Expertise Speaks volumes, when it comes to Computer Software!
    Very true in your efforts to impart the vast amount of practical knowledge you acquired!
    Congratulations!
