How to compress a video?

[Qayyum]

I want to send a video to my friend on Facebook but its size is 35 MB but Facebook allows only 25 MB, so how i can compress it quickly? (Just being too lazy to try different softwares, anyone from you guys have tried any software and can suggest one

I would use Vidcoder. Open video, Click Settings and under the Video tag choose Target size: 24MB.

WinRAR is the best compressing tool try this.

Doubt Facebook will allow videos inside a .rar. And RAR/ZIP/7ZIP/etc are not designed to compress lossy video like H.264. Meaning you probably won't get any compression and may actually be bigger than the video by itself.

Dropbox, with a share link in Facebook.

Ameline was just another spammer for some crap recovery software...

I'd suggest downloading MPEG Streamclip - used it for years and the best free encoding software out there in my opinion.

@bamarcas - Is that some sort of free company plug/advert you ended with?

Its just a link to my small video production company in London. Not trying to spam, just say where I'm from and show that I do work in this field.

It's unnecessary. No one else feels the need to provide a link to their business.

It's not expected/encouraged, but I've seen more than a few around here. Including a few longstanding members.
