Video clips size

[shadowflare]

I want to ask how do you deal with the big video clip size ?I make videos on 1080p about 10 min long and has 2gb size.Do you have some settings you made and what converter do you use and at what codec do you convert it ?

Yep, I use a matroska (mkv) converter to convert/rip huge videos when not needed in full quality. I feel that mkv maintains the quality a bit better than other formats.

Here is one article about the software I use

It usually takes my pc around 1 - 2 hrs of 100% usage to rip the files of size around 10GB. A recent experience was that I created a huge 10GB "Educational" video to around 5.7GB using MakeMKV. It is random, a few times I got 13 to 9GB or something like that, don't know how it works internally
