Geekers - Watching videos or movies on the computer is of course one of the activities that is done quite often. In fact, for some people, the activity of watching videos can also become a habit and a desire arises to collect favorite movies or video series that appear continuously on the Internet. However, it cannot be denied that we often feel that the size of a video or film is too large so that it takes up enough space in the computer's storage.
In this article we offer a solution by compressing your video. This compressing activity is intended to reduce the size of an image or video file. But the thing to remember is that this compression activity sometimes also reduces the quality of your video.
Therefore, here we use a software called Handbrake to compress your video. Actually, there are still many software options with a way of working that is not much different, but we prefer to use Handbrake because the video compression process that is being carried out can be set to reduce the size without reducing the quality as well. In addition, this software is also relatively lightweight and can be used on all operating systems, both Windows, Mac-OS or Linux.
How to Compress Video Without Reducing Quality
Immediately below, we will explain the steps on how to compress videos using the Handbrake software, which are as follows:
1. First open and run the Handbrake application on your PC or laptop. Below is the initial display when Handbrake starts running.

6. In the Video sub menu, there are Video Codec settings. The term Codec is an abbreviation of Codec - Decoder or commonly called Compressor - Decompressor. This setting is very important for adjusting the video size after compression, the bit rate and its compatibility with media player software. In general, the standard codec settings that are often used are H.264 and H.265.
