You dont need another full blown animation program to convert the bitrate of a video file if you dont have one. All you need is a media converter

1. you can use FFMPEG commandline tool with this command

ffmpeg -i source_file.flv input -acodec aac -ab 128kb -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1200kb -mbd 2 -flags +4mv+trell -aic 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -s 640x480 -title X output_file.flv

Explained:
-acodec aac (am sure you know which coded you want to use for audio... others can be mp3 etc
-ab 128KB you can lower this too is powers of 2 eg 32, 64, 128 etc.. the lower the smaller the file
-vcodec - depending on which codec you used for the video
-b 1200kb, lower this to get a smaller file

Or use an app with a GUI eg

2. VLC media player (uses FFMPEG behind the scenes) and click your way about

3. A gazillion other media convertor apps that I have never used so no advice on me here
