About VidCom
VidCom (short for Video Compression) is a simple utility for archiving videos. It offers both GUI and CLI interface and utilises `ffmpeg` for the video encoding.
VidCom features two modes; Archive mode and Compress mode:
Archive mode compresses a video as much as possible without losing target image quality.
Compress mode compresses a video to a specified target size.
There are also other options for quick setup, such as reducing resolution and frame rate, choosing an output directory and a trimming function. More advanced users can set the codec used for encoding and tweak some parameters of chosen codec to trade time for better compression and vice versa.
You can process as many videos as you want by adding them to a queue (GUI) or specifying their paths in the command (CLI).
Whether you want your memories to take up less space or just share a funny video clip with your friends, this app makes it easy for you.
