    Hello.

    Can macOSes (Big Sur v11.5.1) & Mojave v10.14.6) Photo Booth app export
    other video formats beside old QuickTime MOV? An over 2 minutes selfie
    talking video is over 115 MB! Compressing into a zip file didn't do much
    too. :( Does macOS even come with a free video converter anywhere or
    does one have to get a third party? This is for Mac users who don't know
    tech stuff. :/

    Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    OMG! ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN MB! How many floppies is that.

    Pffft. Please. I have text files that are larger than 115MB.

    And no, compressing a video file is a waste of time. Converting it to a
    more efficient format is the only thing you can do. There are probably
    hundreds of tools to do this. I use ffmpeg from the command line, but
    HandBrake is a very good GUI tool.
