Reduce More Than 50% File Size From A Movie Without Losing 0% Video Quality

What is your favorite video format? My favorite format is MKV (Matroska) format. I think yours is same. Because, generally the file size of a mkv format movie is 300mb – 500mb. But it’s video quality is like a HD movie. That’s why, personally I like to collect mkv format movies in my PC.  And at present, I convert all of my non mkv format movies to mkv format. It helps me to safe my hard disk space.
Here I will tell you how to reduce more than 50% file size from a movie without losing 0% video quality. Shocked?
You can do this by using Handbrake. It’s a very useful MKV converter.
