iContent Large WBT size compression

[yuliia-student-ams-osram]

Hello, I'm looking for some best practices re the large wbt content upload to iContent. I know that SAP limit is 2GB and our company limited it internally to 400 Mb. The content we have to upload is 4Gb large video (created in Articulate 360). Cutting the video to 10 elements is an option, but it will still take a lot of space in IContent, which is already quite limited. Therefore my question is: is there any way to safely compress the video (Mp4) so that it does not loose its quality? Or probably there is any other way to deal with this issue? 

Thank you in advance,

Hi @yuliia-student-ams-osram , 

we are using the open-source tool handbrake for this purpose, which works great and you have a lot of setting and options and the quality of the newly compressed file is flawless, we never encountered any issues with quality or audio. We did some testing to find what’s works perfect also which the encoding.

Marc
