Online MP4 File Compression

[DerVVulfman]

There are probably a number of members that download video files to watch at their leisure.  But due to their nature, .mp4 files are large and will take up a considerable amount of space.  Oddly, the size of the file may not need to be as large as they are after downloading, or even upon creation.

I found TWO online websites that will compress and optimize your .MP4 files.  And the service is free.

This free tool will help you to compress MP4 online, optimize them for the web, and seamlessly convert them to a smaller size for easy sharing and faster site loading.

POSITIVES:

• Very good compression without losing quality
  
• Will convert .avi, .mov, .wmv and .webm to MP4 (I didn't test other formats)
  
• Can go beyond 500MB size (I just converted a 3hr 520mb D&D session video)
  
• Convenient Drag & Drop window allowing multiple

NEGATIVES:

• The slowest of the two
  
• Might get stuck/frozen on a compression requiring browser restart (ie close all browers down to clear the cache)

Of course, not all files may compress but actually increase in size if the video file was already optimized

This is also a free online MP4 video compressor that can compress MP4 videos to make them smaller without losing quality. The dropdown at the top also offers other features.

POSITIVES:

• Decent compression without losing quality at a faster speed.
  
• Boasts options for Grayscale, format conversion, audio removal and more.
  

NEGATIVES:

• No drag-and drop. Manual selection of a single file only.
  
• Apparent 500mb max size limit (I never did one that large anyway).
