Zax, try HandBrake. See:
Message 28181214

I was able to get one of your videos from 84.9 MB to 43.2 MB. I have had some of mine reduce in size 10 times, this means faster playing videos on Screencast.com

I like Screencast because YouTube is not always bugging you about 3 party content if you use a commercial song on there, or block your videos in some countries.

HandBrake is a really good free program.

Thank you Ron.

Handbreak did take it from from 87MB to 44MB without any noticable degradation in video or audio quality.

My quota at Screencast will last longer going forward as well.

Heres the transcoded version: goo.gl

Muchas gracias, amigo.

Sourceforge is truly the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Free Screencast.com is 2 GB of data storage and 2 GB of bandwidth. If you go Pro, you get 250 GB of data and 25 GB of bandwidth. Pro is 99 bucks a year.

Seems worthwhile, even the monthly rate for the same deal; $9.99.

It a good site, will play all types of video and audio, as well as store any type of file. But it's best known as a video site for their line of products.

Jing
Snagit
Camatasia Studio
Etc...

I have the pro version, You get to customize with Pro, here is what I did for SI:
screencast.com

Hey Ron,

I just finally got around to getting VS2012 running under Windows 8.

SI4WP absolutely flies on the Nokia Lumia 920. I mean it is fast as all hell. It runs every bit as fast on the phone as it does in the emulator on my new PC, a capture of which is shown below.

goo.gl

Rock and roll.

Microsoft is paying $100 to developers for each WP app-- would SI4WP qualify?

build.windowsstore.com

The bad news is that recent changes to SI have broken SI4WP.

The good news is that Dmitry says SI is opening up a real API for SI, meaning one may easily develop modern, native clients for any mobile platform, and I won't have to worry about any change to the SI site breaking my mobile client, which presently parses the site's html.

This is welcome news. I'd love to see SI have native clients for other mobile platforms and Windows 8 too.

SI is presently the only website that I still need to visit on a regular basis (I access nearly every other website via either a dedicated app or RSS). For me, this could mean the death of the browser.

Sorry all your work on Si4WP hasn't paid off yet...
