Download this and convert to mkv(x264), don't touch any advanced controls, you'll get massive reduction: HandBrake

Keep it at default, i.e RF20, it will work fine, not much reduction in quality, it uses the format out there, H.264(x264 implementation).

IMO the easiest way to encode

Install updates if it doesn't come with codecs
PS: There is a tutorial for encoding in tutorial section
