How to convert a film to become exactly 6 mb?

Asked by wilhel1812 (2877points) September 28th, 2008

I have a movie i want to upload to a blog, but it cant be bigger than 6mb. What is the fastest way to compress the movie to be exactly 6mb or a little smaller and keep the quality as good as possible? I have QuickTime Pro and Final Cut, is there a way to this with one of those apps? I’m ok with downloading apps if that’s what i need, but i’m not paying for anything :p

Well, the movavi service don’t let me specify anything other than filesize so that won’t help me much.

You can try out something like this or this . But I haven’t used them before.

Personally I use a combination of Movavi Video Suite and Sony Vegas Movie Studio for any video conversions I do, but those both cost money.

What is the size and aspect ratio of your source file?

Who not upload it to YouTube and just link it to your blog.

My source file is about 140mb, but it comes straight from the dv so i don’t need all the quality. I ended up with uploading it to youtube, downloading the flv file and then converting it to quicktime :p

I didn’t want to use youtube, since this is for client and youtube doesn’t look professional for a frontpage teaser video
