Of these file formats, AVI, MPEG1, MPEG2, WMV, FLV, MP4, 3GP, MP3?

Can you tell me which would take up the smallest file space for screen capture video AND how I can compare each of them? HD quality is not an issue.

Thanks

    MP4 has the highest compress ratio, it can keep good video quality with smaller file size.

    If you want to convert video between AVI, MPEG1, MPEG2, WMV, FLV, MP4, 3GP, MP3. I think this step by step guide would help you a lot

    Video File Size Comparison

    Mp3 is audio format, not video, mp4 is the better choice.

    And you should know video bitrate has influence on video size and quality, the lower bitrate, the higher the compression and the lower the quality. But don't care the numeric of bitrate, you should care the video quality.

    If you want to customize the bitrate of target video, you can try RZ Video Converter, it can customize the bitrate, fps, video size, even support VBR mode(variable video bitrate), offer the better quality than CBR with the same compression.

    You can download it from rzfun.com or

    Hope it can help you.

    better convert to avi for sustained results over quality sound and less space, the 3gp and mp4 formats are those who consume very little space but sacrifices picture quality and sound

    flv and wmv are smallest, but poorest quality.

    mpg1 and 2 are massive, avi/mp4 are middle between size and quality.

    If you are using Firefox then there are a number of add-ons that allow you to download videos from Youtube, veoh, dailymotion, etc. If you have it or install it then just go to the addon section of the site and type in "video downloader" or "media downloader".
