Video File Compression..

I took a good video of TON at the concert and I'd like to post it on YouTube but it's too large of a file. YouTube only accepts video files 100mb and under and mine is 193mb. Can anyone help me? I don't know how to compress the video to make it fit for YouTube but I'd also like to keep as much quality as I can.

This video does have audio too.

Have a really fat person sit on it 😛

What is the video size? If it is larger than 320x240 then scaling it down to that should do it and it also depends on the codex that you are using for your video, they have different compression built in.

Ooooh! Hm..yeah it's 640x480. Maybe sizing that down would possibly be all I need to do?????

edit: It's 5 minutes and 32 seconds long.

Bringing down the display size will drop the file size quite a bit.

Well how do I do that? I've looked on google but I haven't found any help yet.

You will need a video editing program or compression program such as Director, there might be some free ones out but I don't know any off hand.

Damn, I guess I'll have to keep looking around. 😛

Thanks! 🙂
