hey peoples
I have made a video that i want to upload to my facebook, but no matter
what file format I have tried, it always is in excess of 50mb, which is
way too big for me to have on my profile…
My question is… does anybody know of any tools to use to make a video
file smaller? for eg: I have tried converting it to avi, .mov, mpg,
mpg2, and lowering the quality to the minimal… but they are still too
big for a 3 minute video… Any ideas? cheers

I suspect that .3gp would do that trick… I installed 3gp movie wizard,
which is a gui for ffmpeg, but it doesn’t seem to start up. I tried it
in konsole and i got this output

I wish there was a gui to do this… i couldn’t find one… would of
made things alot easier as there was about 10 commands to do the same
thing that didn’t work until I stumped across this one…
ahwell. works fine now
Try avidemux-qt (-zypper in avidemux-qt- as root or install it from
-yast-). I don’t think it supports 3gp format, but it supports several
other codecs which could definitely be used to encode a 3 minute video
in less than 5MB.
