What is Video Compressor

Compressing videos is a great way to ensure that they’ll fit on your mobile and external devices, and this is where a program like VideoCompressor really comes in handy for the everyday PC user.

The VideoCompressor Program

You would be really hard-pressed in this day and age to find a smartphone, tablet, laptop or PC monitor that didn't offer at least a 720p HD display. As media becomes better in terms of details and graphics, visual displays need to up their game in order to convey the information in its true colors and frame rates. However, one problem with these HD movies and videos is that they’re typically always very large in size because of the image quality and resolution. With a program like VideoCompressor, even a novice PC user can add a video file to the system and compress it.

Compressing a video pretty much shrinks its size. This is something people do with programs like WinRAR, but the issue there is that the file becomes uncompressed (full-sized) when out of its folder. Compressing with VideoCompressor permanently shrinks the file down, which comes in handy if you’re adding files to your thumb drive, your mobile device, your P24 or Xbox One, etc. For example, a 2GB movie can be compressed down to under 1GB, which saves a ton of space and allows you to add more media to your devices.

Some Key Features of VideoCompressor

A good feature offered by VideoCompressor right out of the gate is its user-friendly layout. It’s a very attractive piece of software, and even novice users can look at things for a few seconds and figure out what to do. It has a drag-and-drop format, so all you have to do is click your file, hold down on the mouse, and drag it over to the program. After that, you can select an array of options.

VideoCompressor has a lot of support for different file types. Similar programs only accept the most common files, such as AVI, WMV, MPEG and a few others. This program accepts the aforementioned, plus FLV, SWF, 3GP, M4V, MOV, RM, MKV and many others.

You can choose from quite a few options When you’re ready to compress. Although you might not be well versed in the more complex settings, you can still choose from a range of different presets, most of which give you the type of resolution you need for the device you’re going to be using. The main goal is to compress the video file, and the final size can be determined by sliding a bar in one direction or another.
