Converting from *.m4v

[bigmaz]

Hi Guys

My bro's business' website (conference recordings) has an option to purchase his DVD's or to download them, currently, the downloadable video size is half GB for just camcorder footage and 1 hour long, which is massive. I am looking into compressing this. After some advice i decided to go with mp4 H.264, but when i convert it with Super, i end up getting an even bigger file size. Could you's please look at my settings to see what i can do to bring the file size down. Would it be possible to get it down to about 70mb?

Thanks a bunch

Lower the Bitrate kbps setting. Use a bitrate calculator to calculate the bitrate to get exact output file size(se our tools list for video bitrate calculators).

Or use another h264 converter like handbrake, xvid4psp and under the video settings can you set the file size directly.

I get the following error with Handbrake (

[12:02:49] reader: first SCR 0
11 [unknown (0x1284)] HandBrakeCLI 1928 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
22175 [unknown (0x1284)] HandBrakeCLI 1928 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to HandBrakeCLI.exe.stackdump

I have no ide why it crashes.

But why not try SUPER again and lower the bitrate?

Other simple free tools you can use are Format Factory and WinFF.

Whats the best bitrate calc to use?

VideoCalc or www.videohelp.com/calc , change to divx mode, set the running time and set the desired size.
