- How To Compress a Video File Without Losing Quality
Video files can be very large in size and it can take a long time to upload these large files to youtube or other social media sites. Compressing these files can make them smaller and faster to upload also is a better way to store your files because they are not as big and don't take up as much storage space. The trick is to compress these video files without losing any quality to the video itself and to do this we will be using VLC. It's a free program you can download.

You have played the same file @5:08. Look at the file names at the top. It should be "dash cam" vs "dash cam best".
Yes, sorry its a mistake, the videos at the end are the compressed ones, if you look at the beginning you will see the 2.5GB file playing, not much difference.

VLC has recently updated the software and I've no zero issues. It did an amazing job compressing my video and I like that I have the option to keep the quality of the audio the same during the conversion. I'm very pleased with the results. Thanks for the great video.
So so so so helpful! I've had VLC downloaded for years. I've had the solution the whole time. Thanks for making this video buddy!
Great video, man. I didn't know that VLC was able to convert videos. Keep up the good work, Brian :)
Thanks
Me too didn't know.
Thanks for video man good job salute
Have seen similar tutorials on the above subject matter but yours stood out for me because am able to understand and follow every step as instructed and it works. Now my days of compression stalemate are finally over. Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much Britech. It really saved my life. This is Epic. Loved it how VLC compressed my file video file size from 7MB to 1 MB without even messing up with the quality of the video.
This is awesome and really must try this one. Never knew VLC can do this. Thank you so much for this very helpful video.
A very useful tutorial. Thank you for making this, it's really helped me a lot!
Thank you! You have saved us no end of hassle as we have been trying to upload our services (no in-person services owing to Covid-19). May God bless and reward you richly.
Beautiful, more people need to know this about VLC!
Thanks! That was as straight forward as you can get, even I understood. ;-)
For those with no sound - I chose profile: (Video - H.264 + MP3 (MP4). Click "Customize..." Navigate to "Audio codec" tab and check "Keep original audio track", then click "Apply"... worked for me.
Thank you mate. You make me realize that my favorite VLC will do a magic on recorded video. Cheers Mate.
keep compressing until there's nothing left!
Than keep going and it will add space to your computer.
just a universe loophole
lol

Thanks Brian looks to be smart bit of kit, with included file changing possibilities saves an additional job.
atb t ..
this video is literally perfect. thankyou so much!!
Thank you! From 2 GB to around 300 MB. Works pretty good
Ain't working for me, it's giving me an audio file with no video ! :(
This worked beautifully, including Lemon's tip down below about changing the audio codec to MPEG4 Audio (AAC). Thanks for the information...
Did anybody notice when he was doing the comparison if you look at the top they are the same file, deskcambest.mp4
Great thanks for this Tip buddy, I just uploaded my First Motovlogging video footage to YT and it was 2Gig. It took about 13 hours for me to render in Premiere Pro, and took 9 hours to upload, that was a serious hard work I should say, but thanks to your video, now I could at least reduce the uploading time.
yo did u find any solution to upload quick ?
Thank you for this video! I have had trouble with huge video files since I bought myself a camera
thank you! you just saved me time (maybe hours) and risks on searching free software just to resize a video. I never knew vlc could do this..
Always check my channel first, over 1500 quality videos for free :)
Thank you Britech as I found this video very helpful and thank you guys for sharing tips for video settings in comments

Thanks!

I knew there's a reason why I love VLC more than any other player. :)

Oh my god, i was trying to do with a online program that fails above 500 mb, and that was a problem, but now, thanks again to the awesome VLC i discover something great, very very usefull, i always want to send to my collegues small gameplays throught wasap, and this is the nice way! i love you, i dont know why not many people tell us about this very nice trick! VLC ROCKS! many features that we dont know
Really useful "how to" video. Got the video file size down to about 5% of original (did not need HQ). Thanks again Britec09 !
Glad I could help.
Thanks friend, was very helpful :)
You're welcome
Thanks, @Britec09 this worked like a boss!

So helpful, thank you man!
THANK YOU! You just saved my freakin life.
Thank You Man. it's Help me Alot.
Appreciate that video I have only just started playing around with video. I was using Openshot which left me with created files at around 32mb after following your video I was able to kep quality and end up with a file of 4.2mb Great!
I did exactly what you said and my conversion actually got bigger.
it dropped 9.80MB (unable for normal discord users) to 2.28MB
amazing discovery
beyond science but works for me
Very helpful.. going to try this for my next 11hour ASMR video. I already wasted a full day uploading my clothes dryer sound vid yesterday. Glad I found you!
11 hour ASMR video what
Yeah would like to see more about vlc settings you mentioned.
More on the way
thank you i love this greatly help me reduce uploading time but also reduce the space it consume on my HDD specially may portable HD
This would be the same for master music recordings say a HQ .wav file? Would this program also be good for that or is there a different way music files are stored ? Would compression be bad for such files?
Thanks so much, I did as you said but somehow lost the volume? can u advise?
Still working ! this is still useful in 2019
Great vid man 👍
Will this work with 60fps vids?
Thank you Britec. I have been using VSDC Video Editor since UA-cam decided in their infiinite wisdom to stop doing their UA-cam Video Editor. I'm getting by with it but I've noticed my hard drive space is starting to get less after coversion plus when I'm uploading videos to UA-cam I get a message at the side saying something about Your videos will process faster if you encode into a streamable file format and it takes absolutely forever to upload.
Thanks
Hello Brian.
As a bit of an amateur, I wold have liked to know what the conversion actually did.
Eg what did it change?
The bit rate
The frame rate
The codec
The resolution?
Something else?
Very nice and informative video. Helped out a bunch. Thanks! :D
Phew - Life saver - cheers bruv!
This is the best tutorial of this one out here in UA-cam. I subbed. Thanks!
I downloaded VLC. I followed your instructions. One crash later, I found that it had started to overwrite the file, then crashed, leaving me with a 26 second jumble and no original. 1.2 GB, vanished. Thanks. Now I remember why I stopped using VLC years ago.
Subscribed! Thanks for this vid. Got a project due and this will be requried of me to share with mny peers.
This not only got rid of the audio, but also made the file 100 mb bigger?
My Audio remained, but it made my video file bigger too! Source file was mp4 and I simply wanted to compress it.
@@CreativeBlue If your file is already compressed, compressing it again won't help much.
Check the bitrate of your original file. If the compressed file has a higher bitrate, there's no point compressing it since it'll just fill in blanks with duplicate data to reach the correct bitrate.
Thank you mate! I learn something new about VLC every time, such an outstanding tool!
Yeah its a awesome program
WTF!! Using VLC for years now and never knew i could do this with VLC. Thanks man :D
You're welcome, learn something new everyday.
Indeed.. Never too old to learn new stuff.. 😉
Can you convert more than one file at a time? I have been ripping my DVD TV series to MP4 files and each 24 min episode is like 450 mb's. When I convert they come out at 181 mb's and look to be the same quality. So want to convert them all. This will save me mega space. Is this much reduction for standard def normal? thanks for any tips. Used WINX DVD ripper to rip my DVD and the files came out huge.
Welp. I thought this wasn't going to help me out. But I was totally wrong. You just made my life easier. Subscribed
😮 Thanks so much! UPDATE: No sound. I finally tried this and the picture quality was good but there wasn’t any audio. Oh well , going to hand brake now.
You are my hero of the week well done.. Many thanks
This video is legit!, exactly what you show is what i have achieved thankyou!
Thanks, didn't know VLC could do that. Subscribed :)
Awesome Buddy. Thanks a lot
Thanks so much! ,,,MP4 went from 377mb to 107mb. I have VLC player I had
no idea it can compress files!!!!
Dude the difference between the videos is that right is brighter than the left. Everyone can see that. Wish it was just on same line as the original. Either way nice video!
Awesome man! Its works and its great.... I have converted a 1.65 GB file to only and only 1.05 MB.
If the video I am compressing is 60fps, will the frame rate be maintained when compressed? Awesome video!
Really help me a lot, thanks mate!
Thank you great video; will be sharing this one..
You're welcome.
