I have been making videos but the problem is all the videos over 1 hour is 1gb or more. Is there anyway to reduce the video size down MB without losing any video quality or sound? Or is there a compressor that works great at making high quality videos? I just want to view the videos on my computer with a smaller memory size but the same quality.
And my second question is What are the Best Audio and video compression tools that save videos with high quality video and sound but small in file size?
And is a bit rate that is a making it turn out big and necessary ? Because my bit rate is unconstrained and if i was to record a 1 hour video it would be 700mb for video and 750mb for sound.
PLEASE HELP!!
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

It's generally said these days that X/H.264 produces the best quality video if heavily compressed, and as MP4 with AAC audio it's hard to beat when you need a small size. I might recommend you try XviD4PSP to convert your videos to MP4 with a smaller size and see if you like the results. -

These numbers don't add up! Bitrate must be a peak , but there's no way that a 2.5 hours video ( not even a 1.5 hour ) with a bitrate like that ends up with only 1.43GB.
And beside you can't avoid the GB level if you have a video that's up to 1 hour or more. You want quality or not? Even h264/x264 need a minimum to store information, don't expect the "1 bit codec" -

Your video is 2.5 hours and with a file size of 1.43 GB?
That would mean a bitrate of 1.3 Mbits/sec (video and audio) which is not that much even for x264/h264 and especially if you have motion/action scene.
Cutting the filesize by 2 would mean a bitrate of 650kbits/sec and ,for me anyway, that's insane if you want quality. -

The video is unconstrained

Audio is also unconstrained
bytes encoded total 3409.07kb
And video is
1013 KBPS
and the size is 4.91 mb -
Note that 2.5 hours of 484x520 video, at say, 29.97 fps (you didn't say what frame rate) saved as uncompressed YUY2 would be about 135 GB (without any audio). So your WMV video is already compressed by factor of nearly 100:1. You are not going to get more compression without significant loss of quality unless your video is a 2.5 hour still shot of a bowl of fruit.

What I'm saying is: further compressing your video will likely further reduce it's quality. Especially if you are looking to encode in real time while capturing.
"Unconstrained bitrate" simply means the encoder will use as much or as little bitrate as it decides it needs at each frame.
