[X4U] Video size

[Brett Conlon]

Just remember that it’s not only about size. The conversion to WMV may be dramatically dropping the quality. If you’re OK with what you’re seeing with the conversion to WMV first (then to MOV) then you have a workaround. BTW, you could probably achieve the same thing going straight to MOV if you know why the codec and bitrate is.
