Made a video an it's so big that it takes hours to upload? This video shows you how you can use free video software VLC to significantly reduce the file size of a video.
I had VLC for so long and never realized that I could use it to reduce the size of a video file and still keep a decent quality. Thank you very much for making this video.
Thank you very much. One suggestion, it would have been great at the end of the process if you would have played some of the original and some of the completed compressed video so we could see the quality. Thanks again for doing this. I was looking into handbrake software. It came up in the Rittenhouse trial today and I had not heard of handbrake Software. I'm actually retired IT.
Thank you for the video, VLC was always my choice for watching videos, now it is my choice for reducing size!! Great video!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Very interesting as I again going to video the Manchester Marathon which will be around 5-hours long, so this will come in handy trying to upload it to the Tube.
Man! I was completely stuck in the mud, completely dumbfounded until i came across your youtube channel ABSOLUTE lifesaver me and my kids still come across this vid and rewatch it for a few laughs and giggles until my wife comes along man I wish you had a divorce tutorial so I can get that damn girl out my house, she keeps moaning about everything.
It got bigger because you chose a format that was up size from what you started with. ..you caused it to be bigger. ..to shrink a file you must choose a format that is smaller than your particular video
Thanks for sharing this video exactly what I needed didn't know that VLC can reduce video file size from 6.6Gb down to 113Mb ### shared by @Mason To get ur video with Audio : Setting Audio Codec : instead of MPEG Audio chose MPEG 4 Audio (AAC) Bitrate :128 kb Channels :2 Sample Rate :44100 Hz
Apart from the Audio Codec settings indicated, which video settings did you use? That is, which one from the list of "Profile:" list of settings available? Thank you for your help.
@@orbemath I didn't touch anything only the Audio codec so after conversion your video should also have audio on it. Quality of the video is pretty much the same it just literally down size the file.
Hi Are you using a PC? I have a mac and there is no Media tab. I am on version 3/0/16 but the look for update feature does not work. Do you know if the mac version for 3/0/17 looks different from v3/0/16?

I would like to combine the vob files from a dvd to a single smaller file size as one file. Can you do this in VLC? Great video and I will use it a lot.

argh! AGAIN I find a tutorial that doesn't show EXACTLY what to do. Played parts three times. MULTIPLE WAYS to get a video INTO vlc. WHICH ONE brings up the same window you have here? Not a clue. And why blabber on about WHY someone wants to reduce a file???? WE ARE ALL HERE LOOKING FOR HOW RIGHT? We KNOW why. I'm moving along... will try some different software. VLC is great to play stuff on but this doesn't seem to be something I can figure out.
@@relaxingnature2617 Yes on the apple, no plans to EVER use a PC, and I found other ways. Thanks though. Maybe they should mention PC only in the title. Might have saved some wasted time. OH well.

i did excatly as u did, the image disappeared and only audio available
Try a different output format ..his choice may not be best for your video type
Or it shows no picture. Hear sound but no picture. Followed you step by step but something isn't working.
Thank you for such a great and smart tip here. However, I already compressed one video but there is no sound at the end. I don't know why.
It turned the video sideways for some reason. How do I return it to the right way up?
Big help, thank you!

The apple version of VLC is feeble. ..you need PC to enjoy the special features in VLC
