For example, an MP3 file created using the setting of 128 kbit/s will result in a file about 1/11 the size of the CD file created from the original audio source. Lossy compression is designed to reduce significantly the amount of data required to represent the audio recording and still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio. It is a common audio format for consumer audio streaming or storage and a de facto standard of digital audio compression for the transfer and playback of music on most digital audio players. MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, more commonly referred to as MP3, is an audio coding format for digital audio that uses lossy data compression.

Videos encoded in MPEG-4 have various media container formats like MP4, Matroska (MKV), AVI, MXF, and QuickTime (MOV). In case you want to save the original video quality of your Full HD or HD visual, choose the "Same as source" preset to transfer all the original parameters to your future digital MPEG-4 video.MPEG-4 - is a compression method specially designed for low-bandwidth video/audio encoding purposes. The software will show you the minimum size you can’t go below to prevent your media quality loss. Click it and insert the desirable parameter. Pay attention to the small weight sign above the blue “Convert” button. However, if you still think that your file is too large, you can correct its output size in Freemake before the transcoding. MPEG-4 is widely used because multimedia encoded with this codec occupies less space on a hard drive than the very same clips with other codecs. Select MPEG4 codec and convert the video. Add your MP4 video into the freeware, choose the "to MP4" option and open the video settings. If your MP4 video has another than MPEG-4 codec (e.g., h.264), you can easily change it with Freemake Video Converter. Then just follow the guidelines above to save YouTube to MPEG-4. What you need to do is to copy YT content link and insert it into the too via the “Paste URL” button. You don’t need to use a special downloader anymore.

Freemake program can encode both offline clips and YouTube media.
