Compress 40-Min Video to 30 MB

I have a 40-minute source video that I need reduced to roughly 30–40 MB for smooth online streaming. The final file must be in MP4 format and remain watchable at 720p without obvious artefacts, stuttering, or audio issues.

Please bring your preferred tools—HandBrake, FFmpeg, or any professional encoder—so long as the end result meets these targets:

• Size: 30–40 MB
• Resolution: 1280×720
• Format & codec: MP4 (H.264 or H.265), AAC audio
• Playback: streams cleanly in a standard web player on desktop and mobile

Send back the compressed video together with a short note of the settings you used so I can replicate the workflow in the future. If you need a brief clip to test first, let me know and I’ll provide it.
