Dr. Mario Ajero shows how to compress videos into smaller file sizes optimized for online delivery. As teachers and students shift to online classes and lessons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become more apparent that if we want to exchange video files of our lectures/lessonsand students’ assignment submissions, we need to be able to make these file sizes as small as possible without compromising quality of the video so they can be shared quickly and easily. This video will demonstrate that process using a free open source application called Handbrake which can be downloaded at: handbrake.fr
