Video size and format
MediaHub requires your file to be in .mp4 format with a file size less than 1G. You can use Handbrake to decrease (compress) the file size and convert the format.
Before converting the video
- If you don’t have Handbrake, download and install it.
- If you don’t have the university’s presets for Handbrake, download and unzip the presets file.
- Find the resolution of your video by right-clicking the file, selecting ‘Properties’ and ‘Details.’ Use the ‘frame height’ (the vertical resolution).
Convert the video
- Open Handbrake. Click ‘Open Source’ and select your video file.
- Click ‘Presets’ and ‘Import.’ Select the appropriate preset (see below).
- Use the ‘Destination File’ field to type a name and select a location for the new file.
- Click ‘Start.’
About the presets
