ffmpeg-compressor overview

compress videos locally with ffmpeg by specifying a target size, that's it

usage

0. be on windows
1. ffmpeg in PATH
2. run as CLI tool with args: [filename] [target compression size in MB]
3. wait for completion, output file will be as follows if there are no errors: [filename]_compressed.mp4

notes

• output is mp4
• not guaranteed to work if no audio track is present (working on it)
• little error handling is present, most is handed off to ffmpeg
• adding linux support is a matter of changing two characters, i will not add a separate file and release for that
