Question asked on Jul 27, 2014

What happened to the 'save movie wizard'.  Where we can set the file size and let the software handle the rest?

I'm trying to compress a movie for the past several hours.  Each time I get a file size almost double and even triple what the original was.  How is that even possible.

I tried the ez youtube, vimeo settings, none of that works.

I did a custom setting where the "estimate file size was 40mb". I thought nice.  Almost an hour later, it turned into a 3.5 gb file.   Really?   Nice job M$.

This is was a waste of time.

The original file size was only 1.3gb.
