You can easily convert /shrink videos easily with handbreak.<br />
To do that:<br />
<br />
<b>Download handbrake:</b><br />
go to http://handbrake.fr/<br />
click "Downloads" and go to "Nightly Builds"<br />
NOTE: we are using Nightly Builds because its more updated so less bugs and more updated encoding tools<br />
<br />
<b>Install handbrake:</b><br />
clicking "Nightly Builds" will take you here http://handbrake.fr/nightly.php<br />
then download something that says "WindowsGUI" or "Win GUI"<br />
then install it and open it<br />
<br />
<b>Convert / Encod with handbrake:</b><br />
click "Tools" menu and then click "Options" and then click "Output Files"<br />
click "Browse" button and browse the desktop folder for example as your default output folder then click "Close"<br />
click "High Profile" on "Presets" pane<br />
click "Container" drop down box select "MKV"<br />
NOTE: we select MKV to select Vorbis audio later on when encoding with audio because AAC of Handbrake<br />
is not NeroAAC so Vorbis audio wins in here for good quality on low bitrate<br />
<br />
go to "Picture" tab (Resolution tab) and select "None" on "Anamorphic" drop down box<br />
then check "Keep Aspect Ratio" now on "Height" input box put 400 or 360<br />
now the "Width" will be calculated automatically<br />
NOTE: 400 as height is 400p so 360 as height is 360p<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kljF8XZhgm0/Ubrbj0HR4II/AAAAAAAABgg/uXZ2qr928S0/w874-h577-no/HB_01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kljF8XZhgm0/Ubrbj0HR4II/AAAAAAAABgg/uXZ2qr928S0/w874-h577-no/HB_01.png" /></a></div>
<br />
go to "Video" tab set "Video Codec" to "H.264(x264)" then set "Framerate (FPS)" to "Same as source"<br />
then make sure that "Variable Framerate" is selected and then choose your encoding mode on "Qaulity"<br />
i prefer "Constant Quality" or CRF<br />
if you prefer "Constant Quality" take note that filesize will vary but quality will<br />
be almost consistent through out the video for a given CRF value<br />
and its a faster way of encoding too because its 1-pass<br />
"Constant Quality" or CRF values good ranges are from 24 - 28 i prefer value of 26<br />
in CRF the higher the value the lesser the quality but lesser the filesize<br />
in CRF the lesser the value the higher the quality but higher the filesize<br />
in CRF filesize will be less too if you set a low reolution thats why we set Resolution that<br />
is in average 360p like 640x360 (for 16:9) or 512x384 (for 4:3)<br />
if you prefer or "Avg bitrate" make sure to check "2-pass encoding"<br />
and check "Turbo first Pass"<br />
NOTE: in "Avg bitrate" good values are betweeen 300-450 bitrate<br />
<br />
set x264 Preset to "Very Slow"<br />
NOTE: the slower the x264 preset the better the quality and the smaller the filesize but "Placebo" preset is a waste of time<br />
set x264 Tune to "Animation"<br />
NOTE: we choose "Animation" as the preset since we are encoding anime/cartoons or cel shaded videos but if your encoding live action movies/series then choose "Film"<br />
set H.264 Profile to "High"<br />
set H.264 Level to "Auto"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Wlt6Fx9VST8/UbrbkdsWbAI/AAAAAAAABgo/_LET4kePMfY/w874-h577-no/HB_03.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Wlt6Fx9VST8/UbrbkdsWbAI/AAAAAAAABgo/_LET4kePMfY/w874-h577-no/HB_03.png" /></a></div>
<br />
go to "Audio" tab click "Clear" button to remove all the audio on the queue<br />
click "Add Track" then "Add New Track"<br />
on "Source" drop down box select an audio you want to add<br />
on "Codec" drop down box select "Vorbis"<br />
on "Mixdown: drop down box select "Mono"<br />
on "Bitrate" drop down box select "48" (this means you will encode the audio in 48 bitrate)<br />
NOTE: for multi-audio (like dual-audio) you do same steps just click "Add Track" again and do the steps again<br />
NOTE: take note that the first audio you put on the queue will be the default audio<br />
when you play the reencoded file<br />
NOTE: we set "Mixdown" to "Mono" and at 48kbps audio to ensure that we can encode sources that are FLAC and in 6 channels.<br />
<br />

go to "Subtitles" tab then click "Add Track" then click "Add New Track"<br />
on the "Source" drop down box select a subtitle of your choice<br />
in this case i select a SSA/ASS subtitle then i check the "Burn In" checkbox for Hardsubbed<br />
or "Default" checkbox for Softsubbed<br />
NOTES:<br />
Hardsubbed - means the subtitles are irreversibly part of the video so you cannot turn off this or extract this kind of subs<br />
Softsubbed - means the subtitles are just part of the video like a text display that can easily be turn off or turn on back again and this kind of subtitles can be extracted.<br />

<div>
<div>
then press "Start" button to start encoding</div>
<div>
alternatively you can click "Add to Queue" then start encoding from "Show Queue" </div>
<div>
the "Add to Queue" function is good if your gonna encode a lot of videos </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so thats it happy encoding with Handbrake.</div>
