file compressor?

is there a program i can download to make my files smaller? preferably my videos..because they are like 100mb+ and youtube only allows 100mb's max! so i need to make them smaller..the size not the actual length..

ermmmmmmm dunno i aint a computor whiz ya no

What kind of videos are they? Where did you get them?

Generally, videos are already highly compressed, so a file compressor will only make them larger. MPEG-2, MPEG-4, VC-1, DivX, XVid, Quicktime, etc, are all highly compressed video encoding methods that cannot be compressed any further without re-encoding the video at a lower bitrate.

Use video editing software to reduce the quality. The video itself is probably already compressed, so you need to reduce the quality or resolution to get a smaller filesize.

well...they are vids i made and they are in the .wmv thingy...

i hate computers

i want to make the files smallerrrr!!!!!

there you go.... i knew that

You need to reencode the videos at a lower resolution/bitrate in order for them to be smaller.

..so in other words, change the resolution to a smaller..resolution?

don't expect great quality from doing this.

or shaving off lots of space

Yes. Or just lower the bitrate.

What program are you using, what resolution are you using, what format are you using, and what bitrate are you using?

yea what they said

oh my..i'm scared..

jonnythan! why all the scary questions. i don't know the program or anything else =[

can you recomend me a video editing program to edit my videos? i'm using windows 2000 btw =[

I'm asking the questions so that I could give you suggestions on how to change the settings to achieve your desired results.

Without knowing what you're doing, I can't suggest different settings to use other than "lower resolution or bitrate."

Can't recommend a good video editing program, sorry.

think i've sused it!!

then go do it
