Hello! I've been converting and editing lots of video these days and I've been using Leawo (Link from Andromeda's guide HERE) to make the upload faster, but I was browsing the net a while ago and found a better method than Leawo, which is Handbrake!

HandBrake is a tool for converting video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs. Make sure that you have at least 100MB free space in your hard disk before installing! Installation is pretty straight forward and easy, so i don't think that it needs a guide.

Short version (Video):

Long version:
First, prepare the video that you want to compress. The video that I'll be using has a file size of 764 MB.

Then, open Handbrake after installing it. Click source then choose "Open a single video file" then look for the video that you want to compress.

Click the "Web Optimized" check box and make sure that the container is set to MP4! Choose a destination where you want to save the compressed video, then click "Start".

After the conversion, go to the destination that you selected and HUWALAH! From 764 MB, it became 22 MB. If i use Leawo, the final file size will be 60+ MB, unlike here in Handbrake.

<-------QUALITY COMPARISON------->

Leawo is still good, but in some cases, their gap is just too big. In Andromeda's guide, 1.6 GB became 19 MB, while the 764 MB only becomes 60 MB here. This will be really useful for video reports. Anyways, i just want to share this! It's still up to you on what to use ;)
 
I use this and it does work. ^^

Edit:

See where it says "Picture, filter, video , audio and etc"

Go under video and see constant quality? normal cf is on 20 and go move cf on to 24 or 30. This method will make it way way smaller but still make quality great. :D

Hi! First thnx for this. I actually need your help, tried converting an .mkv to .mp4 and clicked Android Tablet
as preset (where I wanna play the file) and it did convert and successfully played on my tablet, but it has no Audio at all?

I'm a total newbie when it comes to video editing. Thnx.

Hi ;) I'm not entirely sure but try to go to the audio tab then click "Add Track", then convert it. If your problem still persist, just PM me rather than posting here ;)
