How do you compress a video?

In: Internet [Edit categories]

Answer:

First, download an archiver program such as 7-Zip, and install it. After installation, select the files you wish to compress, then go to 7-zip context menu, and click 'Add to *.zip' (where * is a file name).

Then, a new file should appear in the same directory, which is a compressed ZIP file.
