Excellent explanation, great speed, great video/audio quality, great lighting and clear shots, no fancy opening to the video, and on top of that no annoying/unnecessary background music. Thank you for your professional production.
Wow! This is the video you’re looking for. No fast talking, just slow and detailed instructions that clear to understand. Thanks a million Kev. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much, Kevin. I think I can say that this video has been more beneficial to me than just about anything else I've seen on RUclips. Wonderful!
Excellent training video! And your timing (for me) could not have been better. Recently I have been running up against this very issue: video file sizes that are too large, yet I need to maintain decent quality. This is perfect!
Thanks a lot to you, Mr.Kevin Stratvert!
Indeed a timely assistance in our daily works.
We have been doing somewhat a roundabout job to cut the size of our videos to desirable size with some loss in quality. Your straight forward and simple method is of great help to us.
Hands-on-Expertise Speaks volumes, when it comes to Computer Software!
Very true in your efforts to impart the vast amount of practical knowledge you acquired!
Congratulations!
What an incredibly well done video! You explained all the basics in such good detail. Thank you
2 Years later and this video is still helping people, Thanks going give it a try now
Kevin, you are a fountain of knowledge. This is the second video of yours I have used today and both have solved a big problem. Just subscribed to your channel. Video reduced from 204 to 69 MB and worked fine on Facebook with 265 coding.
I've been using handbrake but now I can do more setting choices with your tutorial video. Thanks Kevin, you are truly an expert in your field.
Brilliant - I was able to reduce a file from 2.66 Gigabytes to .371 GB without noticeable loss of quality - thank you Handbrake developers and thank you Kevin, for explaining so well that I was able to achieve this quickly after struggling for hours without you!!
Cool, i have been using Handbrake but you enlightened me to more features i haven't tried, thanks Kevin
Kevin is an excellent trainer..I always choose to watch his video's as he explains everything so well..
Well done Kevin...
This is a great video, not too long and goes over the main points without wasting time. Thanks!
totally agreed. clear, time is just right, main functions explained. very impressive.
Succinct and to the point, down to earth explanation without nagging comments. A good instructor knows how to convey information.😇
i never make comments on youtube videos but this one is worth it. clear, thorough explanation of everything you wanted to know about handbrake, not fast and confusing like a lot of videos... excellent
Phenomenal video. Kevin speaks clearly and makes everything easy to understand. Top-notch communicator and teacher. Kudos!!
This has got to be the clearest tutorial of any software on youtube, well done
Hey Kevin, I already use Handbrake so I am quite familiar with the controls and general UI.
So in watching this tutorial I just wanted to see what you would focus on as the "important bits" of the program...given your topic.
Well done mate. As usual, you did not disappoint!
Harry
Please help me how to reduce the size and resolution of ten files at once.
So how to proceed when queuing???
This is perfect!!! I took the slower route! It took a couple up hours but I was able to upload to the software of my choosing!! Thank you so much! God bless you! 😊
I have it on my system for sometime now but with this tutorial I will make use of it frequently. Thanks for the update.
Loved it. I have been using this software but you definitely showed some added features that I didn’t know. Well done.
Awesome! I didn’t know we can do so much! My lunch time was good to watch this! Thanks Kevin, as always!
This is an excellent tutorial. Not too fast, not too slow. I love the way you speak, by the way. Thank you so much.
Fantastic. I use this to compress our church Sunday video of usually 7 GB to about 2-3 GB at the most. Great without loss of viewing quality. Thank you!
Thanks Kevin, I too recently started using Handbrake to convert the format of videos to use with DaVinci Resolve. good to know I can use in this way as well! Really enjoying your channel!
Wow! Thank you so much for this tutorial. Very detailed and easy to follow. 🙂
Really helpful video…you explained in a simple way and you spoke slowly and clearly, great delivery 👍🏾😊
I used handbrake a lot in the past to encode DVD's on my hardrive. Depending on your hardware and settings it could take a while, but it's amazing software. One of my favorite software, together with schrink.
SO HAPPY I found you, ALMOST run out of space on my back up. Then was told about this HANDBRAKE SO I gave it a look. FANTASTIC !! BEST part was your explanation of how to use it was SO GOOD and not rushed so easy to follow what you were explaining .. THANK you so much I am now getting more room on my Portable STORAGE / BACK - UP !! .. 🙋♂😁
Hey, thanks for this tutorial! I've been using Handbrake for a bit now, but this is even better. I'm able to compress all of the movies that I've recorded from my streaming channel and make tiny bit more space on my hard rive! You're a life saver!
Super helpful! Needed to make a 404 MB video smaller for Gmail and it did not fail. The result was 23.9 MB, the quality was still good, and I didn't have to make any more accounts to get the job done. Thank you very much for sharing this awesome software with us! 😄👍
wow, this tool is useful as i manage to downsize a 1.5gb video to 141mb . the quality of the video and the sound is still good. though I choose 'veryslow' on the encode preset, the time to convert is still reasonably fast. thank you Kevin for sharing
I learned how to to use Handbrake to more in depth you broke everything down quick and straight to the point, Thanks a lot 👌⭐️
Really good detailed explanation. I've been using Handbrake for a long time but I never really bothered to find out what the various options did until now. Saves me a lot more space knowing about the video encoder!
Excellent and highly informative video. The picture quality is great and the narration is precise and easy to follow. Selecting one of the preset selections is much easier than going through selecting different parameters individually
how much time does it takes to encode a movie?
@@daftfunk that depends on many factors like your computer's hardware the size of the movie It's length it's frame right and many other things
Thank-you so very much for you tutorial on this, I learned a lot.
Your video was the only one that showed a closeup of the HandBrake options. All other's videos were small and unreadable. Thank you. Waiting on encoding to finish.
This simplied this a lot for me, thanks. Right in line with the easy to use camcorder I needed to get the shot when I know next to nothing about video recording / editing
Thank you, Kevin! The video was due online tonight and it had to be under 50 mg and was 62. This did the trick and I could not have done it without your guidance.
I've downloaded ... not going to watch the entire tutorial until I get off work today, but DEFINITELY will be using this.... Thanks so much, Kevin. U r da bes'!
Although I already using Handbrake, this tutorial was very much needed. Thank you Kevin. 🙏
I've used handbrake for many years now. I'm glad to see they've finally updated the interface to make it easier to use without so much need to keep going into settings.
Great video. However, I do feel more acknowledgement that most setting that result in smaller file sizes will typically also reduce the video quality (although these days perhaps not as dramatically as in the past) would be helpful. Also that video encoding is a resource intensive task... and large files can take quite a bit of time. And, running HB may impact performance of the machine and it's availability for other tasks while encoding is occurring, especially if using CPU encoding.
Thanks.. I was trying to downsize a video last week with other sw.. ended up making it bigger!
Hi Kevin, This is the best description on any subject I haver seen on the internet. Thanks for the advice.
All The Best
Ian
This is what I needed now! Thank you so much I was able to lessen the video size!
Thank you. I am delighted with the result. Your instructions were clear and easy to follow
Thankyou. Just downloaded for Mac and giving it a try. Worked well on a 15sec MP4. went from 30meg to 5meg. No noticeable quality loss. impressive. I was using Movavi but this looks more powerful.
From Sierra Leone. I have benefited a lot from your tuitorials... God bless you abundantly...
I'v used Handbrake for many years, but I forget between each time I use it, so I always have to google for a long time to find best presets for Compressing a Video Without Losing Quality. Finally someone made a thorough video explaining this. Thank you sir. You've got a like! (and a keyword-comment ;)
Great job! I've used Handbrake in the past... but just upgraded computer and needed a refresher. Your "Preset" explanation was perfect! Using that now! Was able to take 5.56GB to 642mb without (noticeable) loss of quality! Thanks for the help!
OMG I have been looking for an encoder that will rotate and downsize videos easily. Thank you for this video and recommendation. Very helpful.
Consdering the price on cloud storage, space saving isnt really a good reason to compress files but there are of course some other reasons as you mentioned in the beginning of the video. Great tip! 😎
Thanks! Your videos are my "go to" for learning any new tech.
Another great video Kevin without the bla, bla, bla. Everyone (including myself) has moved along to the latest tech (we can currently afford) when dealing with video but I also have many requests from friends and family to capture and archive standard home video such as VHS, 8mm, and even DV tape in some cases and I'd like to know what the best ways are to get the best results form these limited sources. Any ideas?
Thank you so much Kevin for your selfless contribution to the world of video and its awesome up- to- date soft-tech maneuver. Have a nice day .
Great video! I’m so happy you are creating videos on learning more about technology.
Yes! I particularly would love to learn more about networking technologies and how to profit from emerging technologies.
I consider myself a researcher and this is very valuable information that I should have learned a long time ago.
We really appreciate you.
Thanks!
Excellent, clear explanation. Saved me a whole load of work as my client wanted 29 x 1080p videos scaled down in size to 720p. Bulk edited them adding them to the queue, then hit start. Job Done. Thank you.
How to use QUEUE?
Thanks buddy, I have been chalengend with file size of videos for various uses. This will save me a lot of time and frustration
Thanks a lot Kevin. You give a lot of key information and you give it very clearly and easily understood.
Kevin - I've watched several of these for Handbrake, and yours is the best. Thank you for the useful and concise explanations. You rock!
Always love your content, helping me alot. Thank you
I love the William Shatner approach to explaining your videos. It is not just informative but also entertaining.
thank you from the bottom of my heart like it really took me ages to find a video thats going to help me
Your channel is filled with stuff I can use. GOOD JOB !
Well then,..this about sums it all up. Nicely done! Clearly articulated and no nonsense stuffed in between! Much appreciated! Thank you!
Been using Handbrake for several years now. It is my "go to" app for video encoding. I would like to point out on the audio portion, you can not upgrade your audio. Such as going from stereo to 5.1. Only down side. Thanks for the comprehensive video.
This was actually quite helpful. I'd never really paid attention to a lot of HandBrake's features.
Thank you so much!!!! I've been looking for something like this for simply ages!!!!
Great job Kevin, very intense but effective video you made, thanks! And yes, running the Handbrake was up to my expectations :-)
THANK YOU! 👍 Yours was by far the simplest instruction video, and it actually worked! I'm not very good at technical things, so it's a miracle.
I have used Handbrake for many years but never took the time to see what else this program does, always choosing web optimized. Thanks for the detailed explanation!
I always enjoy your videos! Learning a lot from them!
Thanks so much for this man.
Wow! thank you for your time and clear explanation. I was able to convert a video from 568.5 MB to 6.1 MB. You are a great instructor.
This is like magic. The file size is much smaller and I cannot see any drop in quality. Thanks.
you're my best teacher ever! stay healthy and safe!
This is the most clear and informative video in the internet. Thank you.
Thank you, will definitely give this a try. Until now, I have been using youtube to decrease my video file size, need more steps and time
WHAT A LIFE SAVER!!! I had to download 1 thing before I could get started but maybe because of my windows but after that I left my setting like I watched your video and WOW!! It made it smaller... plus the bonus cropping in all I did another video just drop and hit the coder button and I am glad I found your video...Now let me go hit that subscribe button for something so easy that works !!
I have been using handbrake for some time now. Especially good for saving space and making clips easily available to watch. Sometimes the size gets reduced to less than 10% with minimum quality loss. Excellent tool
Good one , always comes out with best tutorials
I needed to take a 230 MB (2 minute) video and shrink it down to be able to send it to an insurance company BECAUSE they (Allstate) would accept the video from "Google drive"; they claimed it was third party.
This software allowed me to bring it down to 14 MB and therefore accepted. I used the presets you suggested and increase the setting "slower" under the video tab. Worked great!!
Well said ....i wanted to compress with 60fps and you have helped me out big time🙌
Such a great video. Thanks Kevin. Well explained and easy to follow. Worked for me.
Your video saved me a world of headache Kevin. Thanks so much for doing this...awesome job mate!
Hi. That was brilliant tips and clear and was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a million Kev!!!
Thanks a ton, brother! As always, this is one of your incredibly helpful tutorials. It is well presented and easy to listen to.
That was excellent, Kevin.
Many thanks.
If there was ever an award for the most sublime tutorialist, Kevin would win hands down every time. His calm and clear delivery ensures all information imparted is fully absorbed and remembered. Sub'd & Voted👍😎
Great work, Kevin! thank you for your time and expertise!
Thank you for your "ON POINT HOW" TO Videos without devastating background music .
WOW, this helped me out a lot !!!!
Now i can film in uncompressed 4K and edit it to a film. Then compress the files to a more suitable size.
Thanks a lot for this one !!!
One additional thing Kevin didn't mention. You can choose seconds range instead of chapter and decode just one fragment of a video from where you want
ty, I expected this program to be complex. I am so glad that it is simple to use. (with a bit of help from your tut).
Cheers
Thank you and thank you!1 I've been looking for something like this for a while now!!
Hey Kevin!
First time I stumbled on your channel.
Thanks for the tutorial - appreciated. :)
It might be worth noting that if you want to speed up the encoding process you'll want a beefy GPU, especially if you really want a great compression with high quality fast, such as slowest encoder preset with 25 constant quality. Consider sending large video files to someone you can trust who has a stronger GPU for the compression. of course Video Encoder play's a huge roll in speed and precision but I'd recommend H.264 NVEnc as its fastest out of all H.264s and universally most supported unlike it's cousin H.265. As an almost daily user of this powerful software I am happy it reduced my 120GB footage into 15Gbs
thank you so much for the video. im still having trouble getting my videos to encode so im assuming i missed a step but none the less thank you for the great lesson
Thank you so much, i was so stressed but this helped so much.
A very helpful video for those of us who never work with this type of software. Thank you.
