@driftwood714 for starters I recommend wondershare uniconverter.

It's paid, but you can find it in any torrent site like 1337x or rutracker. It has a super easy to use interface, allows you to trim the videos if neccessary, and most importantly it's compatible with a lot of formats.

If you have a modern CPU/GPU you can use HEVC as your desired output format, as HEVC needs less bitrate to achieve a decent image, you can cut the size of your H264 videos in half using HEVC. Just bear in mind that different resolutions will always need more bitrate to preserve the quality.

If you need to reduce sizes too drastically you can also reduce the video resolution.

@driftwood714 That's why I recommended C-NET, it's affiliated with the computer and tech website (which is a legit, serious news and tech review site) and therefore it's a very safe place to download. Some of the links might try to get you to go a 'mirror' site to download but you should be able to get what you want safely (virus free) from C-NET, unless the software is so old or no longer updated or some such. It will tell you version numbers and when last updated and the like as well!
