Question About Video Size And Quality

[Angrboda]

Thank you Jor. Do you know of any free audio compression programs that are any good?

Audio compression? I thought you wanted video compression? For audio compression, it depends on what you are trying to achieve. If you're going for lossless, FLAC or Microsoft's lossless format are probably best as they are the most widely supported. If you're looking for lossy audio compression, the lame plugin is the most commonly used one (it can be had at hydrogen audio). Lame requires a shell or invocation at the command line. Since I prefer a shell, I use the compression IDE provided with Monkey lossless codec.

For video compression, I use format factory, but largely because it's the first one I came across which did what I need (it will convert between many different formats, though I don't know if it supports x.264 encodings or matroska). I haven't really compared any programs for which are better and which are worse.
