Want MUCH Smaller Video files?? Use this!!
http://www.any-video-converter.com/p...or_video_free/
I've been using AVG software for awhile now. It's a free video file converter which maintains decent audio and video quality, but allows you to shrink your files to a fraction of the original size for much quicker uploads to Youtube and other sites. It also allows for several different bitrate, codec (format) and aspect ratio (video size) adjustments. Try it! You'll thank me for it......  . BTW it also has a built-in Youtube video down-loader in case you have any favorite Youtube vids you want to play on your computer any time without going on the internet (or even burn to a DVD). Handy tool in several ways IMO!

Has anyone tried this? When I say smaller files, I'm talking about taking a 200Mb file and reducing it to like 40Mb, as 1 example. The software reduces the file size greatly. Anyway just figured I'd share this FWIW. I used to upload files that were easily 50 to 90Mb. Now a 5 minute file isn't generally much larger than 30Mb and many files I've uploaded are only 10 Mb or a little more, tiny compared to what they would have been. OK, I'll shut up now.

Here is a comparison test using 66's "any file converter". The file I uploaded to YouTube wound up as (~400Mb) : Big File I tested it then with Any File Converter and here is the (~27Mb) : small file. I think for the savings in upload time, there isn't much difference, but of course there is some, and this isn't exactly an artsy video. They can both be watched at the recorded 720p resolution.

Looks like our friend Papol beat me to it  . Thankyou, sir......Papol, They both sound and look pretty good. I'm curious however as to how long it took you to upload a 400 Mb file  . I probably dont want to know, right? Thanks again!

I don't even recall because I left for work before it was uploaded ;) I'm fairly sure that it took ~40 minutes to upload, because I was able to view it by the time I got to work which would work out to that time. It's the one thing I don't like about the 'higher quality' camcorders 720p/1080p, or whatever the resolution is. The amount of upload time can be huge. The smaller file, I did after I read your first post, maybe just a minute or minutes. Cool program. I really like it - thanks, P

OK, I listened to Hashi's recordings at 720p through very nice Adam Audio studio monitors....I am impressed.
There is some very slight degradation, but I mean slight. Would I record masters with the AVG software, no, it is goods enough for YouTube, more than good enough! Thanks for the info...........

I too notice some (slight degradation) Rich, but like you said still more than good enough for Youtube. In fact I almost want to say that these smaller files sound better on my own Youtube than the original (quite large) files I used to upload. On my desktop when I compare the original file to a freshly converted one, I do hear a little more hiss (noise) on the converted one. And you're welcome......
