making files smaller

Post by findu »

My 10 minute .wav file is 100mb.

How can I make this <15 mb and share it? Tried to change it in anyfileconverter but they don't recognize .wav as a video file.

Cheers

Well, wav files aren´t video files but audio files. I recommend this free toolbox for converting:

You can get the complete set or just download what is called "Free Audio Converter".

Hi, yes that is what I meant, not recognizing it as it aint a video file. But I will install what you recommend and that should do the trick. Also downloaded the youtube downloader as real downloader has been struggling downloading from youtube for a while.

Thanks!

No idea which platform you're on.
You could use Audacity: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
With lame to encode to mp3: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Lame_Installation

Maybe it's a bit harder to setup though.
