Hi All

@Mariano Poli — I personally quite like Handbrake (macOS, Window, Linux — Open Source)

I’ve used these 2:

https://www.ps2pdf.com/compress-mp4

They seem to do the trick. Pretty quick and reduces pretty significantly

I strongly recommend you to check FFMPEG - https://www.ffmpeg.org

That includes libs and powerful command line utilities enabling almost endless recoding possibilities used by many GUI tools behind the scenes, like handbrake. It’s very useful for batch operations. If you don’t want to read the manual to find the best possibly combination of command line settings for your job, the web is full of little recipes, and a google web search can help you to start your fun trip.

Why not writing one? After all we are all developers :wink:

@Massimo Valle — Yeah and it’s not like it’s a difficult topic :slight_smile:

Edit: And why this stupid forum doesn’t take emojis?
