Free Video Compressor is a lightweight software tool that compresses common video file formats such as MP4, MPG, AVI, FLV, F4V, M4V, WMV, MOV, MKV, ASF, and RMVB. Users set a desired output size and the tool estimates and compresses the video, outputting MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio). It offers options to adjust audio bitrate, remove audio entirely, trim ('cutting') a portion of the video, and rescale dimensions/aspect ratio. It is built as a standalone tool using a static FFmpeg build.
