That question might be able to get answered here. Do you want to reduce file size, reduce the resolution or display size, both....?

Being a little more specific on what format you have and what you want will help. Or what you trying to accomplish. There's too many variables to answer that question without knowing a little more.

Simple answer, you lower the bitrate when encoding and that will make a file smaller. (And the quality lower. Can't have one without the other )

I'll post the answer for that once I get done writng the book it would require, in the meantime you can look to the left. There's plenty of guides and tutorials that answer all those questions, if you have anything specific that you need answering I'm sure someone will be able to help you.
