How to reduce video file size without quality loss
Video too big to upload?
Fret not digital soldier.
Google a program called "Handbrake"
It is a free opensource video transcoder
Once you've found a safe and trusted site, download Handbrake.
Open Handbrake
Drag and drop video into the window pane
Choose an output folder at the bottom of the screen with the "Browse" button
Hit start encode at the top of the screen (it looks like a play button)
This will typically be enough to get the job done
But if the file is still too big after you have done above you can stat making adjustments.
There is a tab on handbrake called "video"
Under the "video" tab there is a "content quality" slider
The higher the number on this slider, the more the file will be reduced
But the higher the number, the more quality you lose
Anything within 20 to 25 range should be enough for you with almost no quality loss.
But the video that anon wanted to post is a 30 minute behemoth.
This means to get this video to an 8kun friendly size, you'd have to adjust the sllder high into the 40 plus range to get it small enough for 8kun.
If you adjust the slider that high, you'll get a shitty video quality.
So to avoid that, I split the video in three with a slider value of 25 for all three different parts.
To split the video up using Handbrake, you'll have to adjust how much time of the video you would like encode.
In the upper right hand corner you will see a value section titled "Range"
The "Range" is defaulted onto "Chapter."
Click "Chapter" and chane it to "Time"
In this case, I sectioned the start time of the first video at 00:00:00 and then ended at 00:10:41
For the second video I started it at 00:10:41 and set the end time to 00:20:41
For the third video I started at 00:20:41 and set an end time for 00:32:41
All this is something you'll almost NEVER have to do
Unless you want to upload 30 minute videos.
But honestly, you're better off just linking to the external website instead of doing all that bullshit.
In almost all normal cases of short five minute or less videos a drag and drop, followed by choosing the output folder, then hitting the play/start encode button without any further tinkering should be sufficient.
There are other options that Handbrake offers such as changing the frames per second or changing the dimensions to help reduce size.
But that's if you want to get advanced.
Play around and experiment if you want.
Enjoy! and
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
