is there a graphical tool like handbrake but simpler? i wanna be able to just give it a <1 min video and compress it enough to fit on discord without nitro and without nuking the quality. could write a script to do that with ffmpeg but that sounds annoying and inflexible

@pancakes not aware of any sadly

i have a couple ffmpeg scripts up my sleeve for a very similar use case (sending videos to telegram), i can help you write one if you need

@steffo that'd be good. i need something that can get a 30-60 second video under 25MB. i don't mind about the framerate as long as it's 30 but my current script makes the clarity really bad too

@steffo i use 1080p but my current script is 720p which should be fine. think the problem is bitrate but if i can go to 1080p that would be ideal.

@pancakes constrained quality mode could be helpful to maximize quality while staying exactly at 25 MB

@pancakes consider using the "best" deadline too if you don't mind waiting for renders to take a bit longer

@koizkoiz would have to upload the videos and then download them again which seems annoying. i'd prefer something on-device anyways
