Converting a 1:31second Blue Iris Exported MP4 file to something else

[tward392]

I used Blue Iris and copied a 1:31 clip, then exported it to MP4, but it is 344MB, can't send it via email.

What would be a good way and type of file to convert it to down it to GMAIL size?

It is currently 3840x2160, I converted it to 640x480 with a program called Video Converter Ultimate. The Trial version will convert upto 5 minutes which is fine in this case.

Just wanted to see what others use.

You know that you can export it from Blue Iris with other parameters, right? All that your converter is going to do is to reduce the quality. Try lowering it in Blue Iris (Encoder Options) until you find a file size that you can live with.

That's embarrassing... didn't even pay attention to the formats and configure button right in front of my face.

When all else is too much trouble, I usually use Handbrake (HandBrake: Open Source Video Transcoder) to do conversions.

Handbrake is a great choice for video conversion. Free and highly capable.

I created a free Mega.nz account. I upload it and let them download it.
