Hello,
I have a video file that I need to compress for a website without deleting any of it. The video is approximately 30min in length and I need to get it down to about 10mb.
Is this possible and if so how?
I recently purchased a mac and I am still learning my way around it.
Your input is greatly appreciated.

Do you have Adobe Flash? You could embed the video into the a flash file...

What format is it in? Maybe try converting it to a mpg to compress it further?

If you want to rape your media that way:

1.
mediacoder "target size" - Google Search (http://google.com/search?q=mediacoder+"target+size")

MediaCoder - more than a universal audio/video transcoder (http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/)

2.
video codec: H.264
Audio codec: AAC
Bitrate: something retardedly low like 200 Kbps
Resize to 25% original dimensions


..

Mediacoder will NOT modify your DirectShow filters (codecs) unlike 'super' or the vast majority of transcoding applications

Thanks to all of you!
I found a software program that does exactly what you have all suggested. It has many file format options for saving.
