FFmpeg can be used to compress videos on Ubuntu. The steps are: 1. Install FFmpeg using the apt package manager and commands like "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt install ffmpeg". 2. Compress a video by specifying the input video, H.264 video codec, AAC audio codec, CRF quality setting of 23, and 192kbps audio bitrate in an FFmpeg command like "ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -c:a aac -b:a 192k output.mp4". 3. Adjusting the CRF and bitrate values allows balancing video quality versus file size for compression

How to compress video via ffmpeg

ChatGPT
You can compress a video using FFmpeg by specifying the desired video and audio
settings in the command. Here's a basic example of how to compress a video:

bash
Copy code
ffmpeg -i input_video.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -c:a aac -b:a 192k output_video.mp4
Let me explain the options used in this command:

-i input_video.mp4: This specifies the input video file.


-c:v libx264: This sets the video codec to H.264 (libx264). You can choose other
codecs if needed.
-crf 23: This controls the video quality. Lower values (e.g., 18) result in higher
quality but larger file sizes, while higher values (e.g., 28) result in lower
quality but smaller file sizes. Adjust the CRF value according to your desired
trade-off between quality and file size.
-c:a aac: This sets the audio codec to AAC. You can choose other audio codecs if
necessary.
-b:a 192k: This specifies the audio bitrate. You can adjust this value as needed.
output_video.mp4: This is the name of the compressed output video file. You can
change it to your preferred output file name.
You can customize these options to fit your specific needs for video compression.
The CRF value and bitrate settings are where you can fine-tune the trade-off
between video quality and file size.
