VidCom
VidCom - Archive and Compress Videos
A simple utility for video archiving and compression.
What is VidCom?
VidCom (short for Video Compression) is a simple utility for compressing video. It offers both GUI and CLI interface and utilises ffmpeg for the video encoding.
How does it work?
There are two modes avaiable; ARCHIVE and COMPRESS.
ARCHIVE compresses your video as much as possible without losing quality.
COMPRESS tries to compress you video to a specified target size. You can optionally decrease the output resolution and frame rate.
After pressing the Encode button, VidCom will process all videos in queue and show you the results. You can cancel the encoding process any time.
Where can I get it?
Only Linux is currently supported. You can get it on Flathub or on AUR (if you're using Arch Linux). Click the button below to see how you can download VidCom.
