The program for video compression

This article will be interesting for all those Internet users who want to record some video from a TV set, then put it on the network. Directly place files recorded with programs like the well-known to many of the Camtasia, is not quite the right solution. Their huge size, especially if the transfer was long, greatly complicates the search for suitable hosting. And not every visitor of such a site will want to spend its traffic on giant files. The way out of this situation is quite simple - converting files.

If you want to compress your video without losing the quality of the picture, then you should choose the software that can do it with an acceptable speed and result.

Any modern program for video compression can convert from the simplest and most common avi format, in which usually all the software works to copy pictures from the screen. So with the original format, we probably have full clarity - it's DV-AVI, but with the final one, into which we will transform the picture, there may be variants. I propose to try codec h.264, to date this codec does not have a worthy competitor, when high quality of compression and the same high quality of the image is required. This format especially compresses those places of the video sequence where the minimum of motion occurs, but it also manages to compress dynamic scenes much (2-3 times) better than alternative MPEG codecs do. But in the case of a rapidly changing video sequence, the codec should be set up slightly differently than for static plans.

If you are interested in the features and technical details of h.264, look for information on the network.

As already mentioned above, the codec itself will not convert anything, so you need a program for video compression. I suggest you try XMedia Recode. Unfortunately, it is little known both in Russia and abroad, but experts believe that this product of German programmers is one of the best in the encoding of audio and video.

And this program for video compression is able to work with a large number of different codecs and video formats, among which is h.264.

The interface of the program can be characterized in one word - thoughtful. Everything is very convenient, understandable and in its places, exactly where you expect this or that element, button, section. A good set of functions and predefined profiles greatly facilitate the work of beginners. By the way, this program is suitable for compressing movies to a phone, smartphone or communicator, since for most models it has ready-made sets of settings.

If there is a need to cut something or cut an extra piece - and then XMedia Recode will be on top. All tools for such operations are built-in and ready to work. In addition to the described "chips" there is also a change in the size of the frame and many other possibilities. You can see what you've got in the video player built into the program.

On the speed of this German product from users receive only positive comments. Due to the possibility to set the degree of CPU usage, the user can adjust the degree of comfort of work at the computer for the entire time when converting. But, honest in my heart, I would not recommend to you something to distract the machine during the conversion, it is fraught with errors in the resulting file.

It is also important that XMedia Recode is Russified, it can be launched from a flash drive, and it is completely free for use by all comers.

I hope I convinced you that the program for compressing XMedia Recode video in conjunction with the h.264 codec is a worthy choice for all those who need to transcode the video from old inconvenient formats into modern ones, suitable for broadcasting to the network.
