There's one more option that I use that I find to be particularly good. The only issue with this approach is uploading an hour-long video, that was recorded on standard television equipment, to YouTube. Ed <<.. I can upload my video to Youtube, and once they are done processing it, there is an option to download an mp4 of my video. Youtube does a great job of converting a video to mp4 with the perfect balance between quality and the size of the file. I find that they do a better job than handbrake, and it's also free. :) Stefan At 11:55 PM 11/26/2013, you wrote: >True enough, easy and free.
