<p>I have season 21 of the Air Crash Investigation TV program. Each episode is around 40-50 minutes and in <code>ts</code> format, but it is around 2.4 GB which is unacceptable. I have 2-3 hours movies that are less than 1.5 GB.</p>
<p>So my question is that how can I end up with video files of around 500 MB (or less) and resolution of 720p with any format?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

I have season 21 of the Air Crash Investigation TV program. Each episode is around 40-50 minutes and in `ts` format, but it is around 2.4 GB which is unacceptable. I have 2-3 hours movies that are less than 1.5 GB.

So my question is that how can I end up with video files of around 500 MB (or less) and resolution of 720p with any format?

Thanks
