Compressing a video...

Hello, I'm trying to compress a video so I can put it on juggling TV. The program from the article on juggling TV about compressing files didn't work on my computer. Can anyone recommend another free way of doing it?

My computer is windows 7 and the article on juggling TV is this one: http://juggling.tv/compress.php

Thank you :)

Hi,
Just to check: Did you read the Requirements on https://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html , and have you installed QT or QTAlternative as suggested? The site says it should work on Win7.

I don't use Windows, so I don't have any alternative software suggestions, I'm afraid, but I'm sure there must be something equivalent out there.

I've used Handbrake on a Mac. I see it's available for Win too: https://handbrake.fr/

I hadn't read the requirements so not having quick time was the problem. I've now got quick time and Streamclip can run, but it turns out that my video is saved as a WMV file which is not supported by streamclip.

Handbrake seems to be working now though, thank you for the help.

You're welcome. Glad you found an option.

One option I've used is uploading it to youtube first, then using youtube-dl to download the slightly lower quality youtube-processed version to upload to JTV.
