This guide is all about how to compress movie or video without loosing its quality upto 50%. What is your favorite video format? My favorite format is MKV (Matroska) format. I think yours is same. Because, generally the file size of a mkv format movie is 300mb – 500mb. But it’s video quality is like a HD movie. That’s why, personally I like to collect mkv format movies in my PC.
