How to compress videos?
Which compression should be used should be used?
The fancy and hard way
ffmpeg -i input.mov -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -movflags +faststart output.mp4
- the option "-i" is the input file
- the option "-c:v" is the video codec you use. in this case h264
- the otpion "-c:a" is for the audio codec
- the option "-movflags +faststart " is for web optimisation
The easy way
By using a software called HandBrake - The open source video transcoder
- In HandBrake click on [Open source] and select the file you would like to transcode.
- Select the preset.
- For the web dont forget to select [Web optimized]
