Solved

Hello,

I have a video that is 318 MB and I need to convert it to a maximum of 125 MB. How can I do that? And what is 318 MB in MB?

Thank you

    Hello,

    Mo (megabytes) is the French equivalent of Mb (megabytes), so
    318 Mo = 318 Mb. Then, to reduce the number of Mo of your video, you have two options: either change the video file type (e.g., from mp4 to mkv or avi to reduce the size), or modify the video encoding (e.g., reduce quality) without changing the type. To do this, there are programs like Format Factory (a simple-to-use freeware available in French).

      Hello,

      just a little clarification
      Mb = megabits
      MB = megabytes (megabytes for simplicity)

      kyon0043,

      I downloaded Format Factory, and it's indeed very easy to use. I tried the allowed formats like avi, mpeg, mov, and mp4, but it's not enough to reduce the size to 125 MB. My file is a wmv.

      Do you have another suggestion?

      Thank you.

      I copied the video with my cell phone and now I have 246 MB, but even with Format Factory, I can't reduce the file to 125 MB. Any other suggestions, please?

      Thank you.

      Hello,

      decrease the resolution.
      If you divide it by 2 for example, the size will be divided by 4.

    Hello,
    Either convert it to MKV or something like that
    Or reduce the quality
    Or compress the file in RAR so it takes up less space if it's to be sent...

    Thank you and have a good evening
