First of all,
1. I know you can use Kies to convert your video files by dragging the video file through it to the Videos folder, but if you've noticed, all it does is it encodes it to mp4 leaving all the other settings the same, ending up with a bigger file size.
2. I know you can use players like MX Player to directly play the file but again, the file's size will be huge as it won't even be encoded.
In this small guide I will show you how I convert my videos and keep a decent quality with a quite low file size. Reason I made another guide is because on Any Video Converter, you didn't have the option to change the aspect ratio, leading to black bars.
To begin, let's download and install Freemake Video Converter - Click here to download.
Instructions:
1. After you have installed it, start it up and press on the "+ Video" button and choose the video you want to convert.
2. At the bottom you should see a "to MP4" button, click that.
3. When the pop-up appears, the preset is probably set to "Same as source", click on that and look for "Mobile quality".
4. Under it, you see a + button, a gauge, and a X. Click on the gauge to edit the preset.
5. Copy these settings:
6. After you are done typing in the settings click on OK, which will take you to the previous popup, then just click Convert and it will start encoding the video.
With these settings you save up some space on your SD card. That is all.
thank you very much for this!!
ReplyDeletetried many settings on my converter, the only thing missing was the "stretch" option that this program has!!
Thanks, Mitko now my videos are in smaller size. really fit on my SGY
ReplyDeletehow to install the file? its not apk.
ReplyDeleteYou should install freemake video converter in your computer. Not in your phone.
ReplyDeleteI followed all the instructions in the same sequence but when I added a video as in step:1, it is increasing the size of the file. For example 969 MB video is shown as 4285 MB in same as source option and when I select Mobile Quality it changes it to 1259 MB which is still greater than the actual size of this video. I tried converting from MKV to MP4 and also from MP4 to MP4 but still the same problem. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteIgnore the file size that you see in the beginning. Just follow the steps to go to the preset editor and change the settings to as shown in the screenshot and you will see a major drop in the size because of the resolution change, bitrate change, fps change, etc.
ReplyDeleteThank You so much! Great!
