Reduce the bitrate and sound quality for futre recording

You can re-encode the video into a core efficient format/container like mpeg4, reduce resolution, bitrate.

What do you intend to do with the vid.

If you're only looking to straight convert the file then the best free apps, imo, are either Windows Movie Maker or XviD4PSP 5.0

Both couldn't be any simpler to use.

Personally I use XviD4PSP 5.0 for youtube vids as it can be tweaked more into producing a slightly better looking video.
