Convert all Kind Of FIles 






 video files smaller so they take up less space this way you can put a video directly into your PowerPoint presentation you can upload a video to discord I mean heck you can even attach it to an email I mean it's theoretically possible but

please don't do that here I have two almost identical looking

videos playing side by side but one of

them takes up megabytes and the other one is only

63 megabytes the difference is that one of them uses a highly efficient compression algorithm and we'll look at how you can use this on your videos too first we are going to download a free and open source video

transcoder called handbrake you can get to it up above or also down

below in the description handbrake can do a lot not only can you reduce the size of your video files but you can also use it to crop resize or

even rotate your videos and it does a whole lot more than just that

on the home page click on the big red download button, you won't miss it

once you finish installing you'll now see a cocktail and a pineapple icon on

your desktop these developers sure do know how to

have some fun let's click on that to launch the app once you launch the app it'll prompt you to drag and drop in an individual video file or you can drag and drop an entire folder that contains many video files

over here on the side, I have an individual video file that takes up 167

megabytes and I want to make it a lot smaller than that here I'll simply drag

and drop that video file over into the app right up above you'll see your video

file name and this is now referred to as the source

this is the file that we are going to transcode if say you want to change your source in the top left-hand corner you can click

on open source and that brings us back to that initial screen I want to transcode this file so I'll click on cancel right here I can choose which title I want to transcode and also the angle now this is typically the case of say you

have a DVD or a blu-ray but in my case, I just have one video clip so I'll move

forward with this down below you'll see several different tabs and each one of them has many different available settings and we can

use these to reduce the video file size but there are a lot of settings and it

It might feel a little bit daunting if you don't want to mess with any of this you

can also use some presets that come with a handbrake

let's say that you really want to email this video file as an attachment here

when I click through the presets there's an option for that and it'll ensure that

my video file size is less than 25 megabytes

or let's say that I really want to watch

this video on my tablet there's a setting for that that will

reduce the size but also still ensure quality for that device if you go with

one of these presets you're pretty much

Done for now I'm going to go forward with the

default of 1080p fast and then let's take a look at what some of these

settings are the first tab contains a summary of the

various settings if you're ever unsure of what a setting does you can simply hover over it and it'll show a tool tip that explains what

that setting does right up here you can choose the format

and you'll probably recognize some of these containers I'll select mp4 on the dimension tab here you can flip a video you can also rotate a video so


 let's say you record a video on your phone and it's in the wrong orientation you could simply turn it you can also crop a video so let's say you have those black bars on the top and on the bottom of your video you could cut those out here in the middle you can also adjust the resolution in the top left-hand corner you'll see the original or the source resolution and if you lower that fewer pixels will make up your image which can help you save some space lastly     you can also add a border to your Video moving on to the next tab there's one called filters and here you have several different options once again you can hover over them to see what they Do one of the more exciting options down at the very bottom you can turn your video into grayscale or basically black and white moving on to the video tab here we can

choose an encoder and this is going to do the magic of compressing your video so it takes up less space within this drop-down there are many

different options to choose from so which one should you pick

well most of the preset use either h.264 or h.265

and h.265 is the successor to h.264 it's basically newer and it's more efficient

and what that means is you'll get a smaller file size with better quality so

in general, you should always go with h.265

although there is one potential downside not as many services yet except h.265 and just as an example I tried uploading a video to Twitter in h.265 and they rejected it but then they accepted h.264 so you'll just have to see where the video file is accepted you'll also notice for h.264 and h.265 you have

different options like x264 and you also have Nvidia envy and code so which one should you choose well one of these refers to the software doing the

encoding another one refers to your graphics card doing the encoding in

general I haven't found that much of a difference between these so you can

experiment with them but here I'm going to select the software encoding under

the encoder you can choose the frame
