Absolute Smallest Video Format

What is the smallest video type I can convert my huge mp4's (and other formats) to? I do not care about video quality nor sound quality. Thus, which is the smallest video format to convert to?

I've used Video Converter & DivX but have not had any real luck.

try to open them with iMovie. If you where able to import them, click share, export with quicktime, click movie to quicktime movie, choose ether broadband low, or broadband mid, they will both give you pretty small file sizes.

If you want more options, click on options. under settings you can drag n' drop the slider towards low or high, and you can adjust the frame rate. under size you can adjust the video size. I would reccomend using H.264 as the video codec (under adjustments)

Well it really depends upon what your purpose is. If you don't care about quality. Then perhaps a screen capture and remove the audio?

"Quality" can be color and pixel quality, resolution, frame rate, etc.

I'd say your best bet would be exporting them in QuickTime using the H.264 codec.
