How to Convert WTV to MP4,AVI,MKV,DVD,etc to reduce WTV file Size?

Compress WTV to Smaller as well as Retain Much Quality?

Tags: compress wtv, compress wtv to avi, compress wtv to mp4, compress wtv to h.264, compress wtv to wmv, wtv compressor, wtv to zune, wtv to android, wtv to ps3, wtv to youtube, edit wtv in imovie, wtv to dvd, wtv to blu-ray, reduce wtv files size

Overview

To compress WTV files to much smaller, the best method is to convert WTV to a format that is highly compressed. What format will give smaller file size and what format will retain much quality of video?

I did a test by converting 144MB WTV files to AVI, WMV, MKV, H.264 MP4, QuickTime MOV and WebM using Bigasoft WTV Converter. The file size and quality is as follow.

Format File Size Video Quality Video bitrate
H.264 MP4 8.92MB better 768
AVI 15.00 MB inferior 1200
QuickTime MOV 15.20 MB inferior 768
MKV 15.50 MB inferior 1200
WMV 18.40 MB inferior 1200
WebM 30.20 MB best 1200

Testing Results

Compress in File Size

H.264 MP4 gives the smallest file size for compressing WTV. Compressing WTV to H.264 MPEG-4 is an ideal solution if you your media players can play H.264 MPEG-4 video and if you are trying to move WTV to portable devices like Zune, PSP, iPad, iPhone, iPod and other MP4 players.

WebM gives the largest file size for compress WTV. The other three AVI, QuickTime MOV, WMV gives basically quite same file size when compress WTV.

Compress Video quality

Converting WTV to WebM format gives the best quality. It seems the quality is even better than the original. H.264 gives the second best output quality. The other three format AVI, QuickTime MOV, WMV gives basically quite same output video quality when compress WTV.

Compress Quality Comparison

Compress Quality Comparison

What is the Ideal Format to Use for Compress WTV files?

I'd vote H.264 MPEG-4 as the winner for the smallest output file size as well as the second best output image quality among the compared video formats. Besides, H.264 is more compatible with editing programs such as Sony Vegas, MAGIX Movie Edit Pro, Adobe Premiere, Avid, iMovie and portable players like Zune, PSP, iPad, iPhone, iPod and other MP4 players.

Of course, if you have media players (such as Android phones and Android Tab )compatible with WebM and if your concern is for HTML5 video or uploading WTV to YouTube, it is good idea to compress WTV to WebM as it gives the best video quality even better than the original.

For Windows users, if your concern is for burning DVD or edit with Windows Movie Maker, you can compress WTV by converting WTV to AVI. If you do care the video quality, you can use Bigasoft WTV Converter to adjust video bitrate to increase video quality.

MP4 to Xbox 360: How to successfully play MP4 on Xbox 360?

Step-by-Step Guide to Convert to Play MP4 on Xbox 360

Tags: xbox 360 mp4, play mp4 on xbox 360, convert mp4 to xbox 360, can xbox 360 play mp4, does xbox 360 play mp4, play mpeg-4 on xbox 360, how to play mp4 on xbox 360, mp4 to xbox 360 converter, xbox 360 plays mp4

Overview

Microsoft Xbox 360 is great not only for playing games but also for playing movies. The Xbox 360 console supports movies in most formats like AVI, WMV, MP4, H.264, MOV, M4V. However, though MP4 is claimed to be supported by Xbox 360, sometimes we still run in to difficulties to play MP4 on Xbox 360.

Why fail to play MP4 on Xbox 360 and the solution to successfully play MP4 on Xbox 360

Xbox 360 can play MP4 video files with extension of .mp4 or .mov with video codec of MPEG-4 AVC H.264 and MPEG-4.

As MPEG-4 AVC H.264 codec, support is limited to the following specifications:

  • AVC Profile: Baseline, Main and High Profiles;
  • AVC Level: up to 4.1;
  • Video bit rate: 10 Mbps with resolutions of 1920 × 1080 at 30 fps;
  • Audio profiles: AAC, 2-channel, Low Complexity.

As MPEG-4 codec, support is limited to the following specifications:

  • Video profiles: MPEG-4 Part 2 (Simple Profile and Advanced Simple Profile);
  • Video bit rate: 5 Mbps with resolutions of 1280 × 720 at 30 fps;
  • Audio profiles: AAC, 2-channel, Low Complexity.

Solution

Some MP4 files downloaded from internet or ripped from DVD/Blu Ray disc by certain DVD Ripping software uses AAC with 6-channel (5.1 surround sound). When trying to add such MP4 to Xbox 360, system will says "No videos found". Even the MP4 files can be transferred to Xbox 360, When playing on Xbox 360, you only get video with no audio. Such MP4 files with 6-channel audio will need to convert to MP4 or MOV with AAC stereo (2-channel) or convert to WMV with stereo or 5.1 surround sound if you care about the audio quality.

Some MP4 files cannot be played on MP4 due to codec issue. For example, if the MP4 uses MPEG-4 ASP format,it will be difficulty to transfer such MP4 files to Xbox 360. You may try to change the extension name from .mp4 to .wmv but we cannot ensure this action can solve the MP4 playback problem. The recommend solution is still to convert your MP4 files to WMV or MP4 which can help you fast and easily transfer MP4 files to Xbox 360 for successful play.

Step-by-Step Guide: Convert MP4 to MP4, WMV, HD WMV with 5.1 channel for Xbox 360
