Title: Video problem.
Post by: GreatGonzales106 on April 18, 2009, 01:45:21 PM
I finished making a video with the help of Windows Movie Maker to enter in a contest. However, they don't take "Windows Movie Maker Project" files, so I published it to make it a WMAV file, which it accepts. However, the memory shot up from 343 KB to 255 MB in this process, and now I'm over the byte limit (100 MB). Is there any way for me to lower this without taking anything out of the video?

(Sorry, I'm not really computer savvy...)

Use a different codec, like MPEG4.

How can I change it?

Download a video converter like Videora or Any Video Converter.

You can always upload it to zamzar too. But that comes back a little late.

Do you think this will lower it enough?

Yes. WAV is MUCH larger that MPEG4.

Is MPEG the same as MPEG4?

Is there anything that will do this for free...without putting a watermark on the video?

Download MediaCoder (google it).  It's free and works...unless you're trying to convert mkv's to mp4.  That doesn't work.  But in general MC gets it done.

It works fine for me; with most videos.
