Hi. Compression can be a little tricky, depending on your source file - without knowing that I would recommend freemake (http://www.freemake.com/) and super (http://www.erightsoft.com/Superdc.html) as mentioned above. Both are free and super is opensource and about the best available free or paid. Freemake is easy to use with most options needed, super is quite technical and requires you to know and understand the specs of what you have and what you want to convert to. As with alot of freeware these days be careful to untick the boxes in the install screen if you don't want the extra stuff - and be sure to use the scroll bar on the super installer screen or you will miss a couple. Having said that the main thing is to decide which output file type you want - ie., mp4 or flv - and do some test renders at the file size you want to end up with and see what they look like. Try them in VLC and win media player to see if that matters. You have more flexibility if you are starting out with raw footage and compressing that vs starting with footage that has already been compressed and downsized or optimized. Good paid (or not) options are adobe premier elements 10-11-12, sony vegas or cyberlink producer. You will spend around $100 if you buy but you can edit as well. Output conversion settings are pretty comprehensive and choices are more clearly indicated that with the converters. Hope this helps. contact me if you like. Thanks for your shares - I have found them very helpful. All the best.
