I found an encoder that retains the FULL QUALITY while converting to a smaller file size to make uploading of video's more feasible and timely.

either one works great, most of my bigger movie's 1-2GB were reduced to 100-200 MB in file size and I retained original HD 1080p quality, full audio, and aspect ratio. you simply can't tell the difference by looking at them, even if you open both files in a separate player window and put them side by side and played them, you can't see the difference. Both encoders convert .mov to .mp4 format
I use the h264 encoder on my laptop, and I use the Elgate Turbo h264 on my iMAC at home. both work superbly!
