This project provides a Python script for compressing video files using FFmpeg. It's designed to process multiple video files specified in a JSON file, making it easy to batch compress videos with a single command.

• Compress multiple video files in one go
• Uses FFmpeg for efficient video compression
• Option to delete original files after compression
• Option to overwrite existing compressed files
• Supports various video formats
• Easy to use with command-line interface

• Python 3.x
• FFmpeg
• ffmpeg-python module

[Optional] Create conda env

conda create --name videos_project python=3.11

Activate the environment

conda activate videos_project

Install the requirements

conda install --file requirements.txt

OR

pip install -r requirements.txt

The script is run from the command line with the following syntax:

python main.py <path/to/your/videos/folder> [-d] [-w] [--dist]

• -d: Optional flag to delete original files after compression
• -w: Optional flag to overwrite existing compressed files
• --dist: Optional flag for destination folder

The JSON file should contain an array of video file paths to be compressed.
