                      Advance Wars. Dope. More advance wars please. Particularly of the title screen for the first Advance Wars on Gameboy Advance. I think that would work well.

                        @mrjordaaany Yeah I cheated, in reality it's a screensaver for the second Advance Wars, sadly I can't find any artwork of the first Advance Wars in good quality!

                            Noticed that the file sizes are a bit on the large side. Have you tried out Handbrake, by chance? Really helps with compressing video without losing much quality.

                              @supercatfooz I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CC in H264, I thought it couldn't be lighter than it is (I tried 720p but its kinda the same) I will try Handbrake when I can, but does it really reduce that much?

                                @malixx From my experience, yes. Haven't tried it with your clips yet, though.

                                Edit: Tried it with your Smash Bros. wallpaper. Default settings compressed it from 37MB to just 7.

                                  Hmm. When I was downloading from YouTube at 1080p, they were only around 3-4mb.

                                    @hyruleslink That's because YouTube uploads aren't lossless. YouTube videos get compressed quite a bit for the sake of storing more videos on their servers without having to buy tons of new ones.

                                      @supercatfooz Not bad! Thank you, I didn't had the time to try it out, I hope the quality is still good.

                                        @hyruleslink Finally I will keep uploading them on YouTube and eventually in the future I will make the files smaller anyway :)

                                          Sorry Malixx, your previous 1080p videos was on 13mb side. There's a chance to back to that size? New videos are almost 4x bigger.

                                            @darishzone I will do as soon as I find the right settings on Media Encoder CC (if anyone can help btw, I'm taking any advice!), using Handbrake like suggested @SuperCatFooz makes the task tedious for me due to the multiple renders I must do :(
