Webinar Follow-Up: File Size and Conversion

Posted June 10th, 2009 by Adriana Servinsky

Question 1: I am having a problem with the size of my videos. Many of these site do not allow videos over a certain GB. How do I make the size of my video smaller? The videos have been ranging in size from 2GB to 6GB.

Question 2: Another question – my files are .AVI files – how do I make them .WMV files? Will that make them smaller too?

Big files?

Wow. Either your videos are really long, or the format you are using is a really big file size.

Here are some ideas. It is hard to say exactly without knowing the software you are using and how long the videos are.

- Try saving them in a different format or different resolution.

- Try making shorter videos

- Try changing the resolution/quality before you save them, a lower resolution will be smaller size

- Try WMV, AVI are usually pretty big

Format....

Thanks Mike. I will try to make them a smaller resolution and a different file type. How would I convert an AVI into a WMV then?
