Hey friend, try to use free software called handbrake.

I generally like to use an mp4 / h264 or h265 setting, and to really push the file sizes down go to 1080p or (gasp!!) 720p resolutions.
1080p you can generally get away with about 8-10mbps for streaming online (3-4gb per hour), and 720p you can push in the 5-6mbps range and still have it look good (2-3gb per hour).
You can also use constant quality, and RF of 18 is generally good for low losses, with rf20-22 for acceptable streaming quality and smaller files. Depending on your video, this could be larger or smaller than constant bit rate, but it retains a certain minimum level of visual quality.
Note that this compression will absolutely lose quality, but will likely be visually acceptable for distribution. Netflix for example distributes at around 6mbps for 1080p streams and people happily watch it.
For detailed guide, you can check this post. Hope it helps.

To e-mail a video takes a very very long time

This is normal. Depending on your camera, the higher the quality of video, the larger the file-size. Larger files are difficult, if not impossible to send, due to file-size restrictions most email servers impose. In order to email videos, check you user guide to see if you can reduce the quality of your video, resulting in a smaller file-size. If not, you can look into services such as https://www.yousendit.com/ which allows you to send large files.

Video convertor to convert videos to .AVI

★★★★★
I will share two ways to convert video to avi file ...
# Free:
1. Go to http://zamzar.com
2. Click on the free-nexusone-video-converter-button.png to add video files from local disk or paste in the link to the YouTube video (it will also convert some other streaming video files, but not all - just try to see if it will convert the one you need)
3. Choose the output format AVI ;
4. Enter your email <school e-mail has less capacity than google or Yahoo accounts and may 'strip' the attachment>
5. Click convert


The file will be converted and a link will be sent to your email (usually within 1 or 2 hours). You will then click on the link and be able to download AVI video files .

# Shareware :
Free Download Daniusoft video convert suite


The reason for introducing this shareware video converter just is that Zamzar has some irksome restrictions like:

You don't have priority file conversion, converting files with maximum size of 100 mb, up to 5 conversion at the time and you don't have any online storage.


However, all these restrictions are not exist for Daniusoft video converter suite. It even can Rip and Convert Movie DVDs to AVI fast and losslessly... In addition,

1. You can set the video resolution, bit rate, encode etc. for output .
2. You can edit your video like cropping/trimming/merging video clips to customize your video.
