Video Compressor

Watching videos on portable devices is a common activity nowadays. Then again, if you prefer quality then you probably know that most videos take up a lot of precious space. A simple solution would be for them to be compressed before they’re uploaded to portable devices or websites. Video Compressor is a program designed to help you optimize your video files for various devices or online services.

The interface may seem a little crowded and confusing for anyone who did not use similar apps. Simply put, when you load a file, the entire properties list is visible, including the duration, size, video codec, bitrate, frame size and FPS, as well as the used audio codec. You can choose the compressing options yourself or load one of the preset profiles.

Speaking of profiles, they have the role of providing the optimal combination of settings for a certain device. For example, you can choose to customize the videos for iPhone, iPod, iPod Nano, Facebook, YouTube and Web. Nevertheless, you can make up your own combination. At the same time, you can also adjust the video frame size, choose a video codec and set the number of frames per second, pick an audio codec and the channel mode, as well as set the audio and video bitrate options.

The program supports a few output formats, such as MP4, AVI, 3GP and FLV, but also allows you to keep the original file’s output if that is preferred. In case you want to keep the same format, then an output path for the new files can be defined straight from the interface.

Another feature that you may find useful is the editing. You can adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpness, modify the volume and rotate the video. Also, the video borders can be cropped or further accentuated.The videos can be cut, but to do this, you need to provide the time stamps. The compression process can take a few minutes, depending on the size and length of your file.

Video Compressor is a nice tool that can be a helpful tool for anyone who wants to upload videos on the web or simply create a smaller file they can enjoy on other devices.
