#  vidcord  

This is a simple Python GUI application for compressing video files under Discord's size limits using FFmpeg and PyQt5. The application allows users to either right click videos in the File Explorer, drag and drop video files, or import them via a file dialog. Users can then adjust starting and ending times, and compress the imported video with either hardware or software encoding and five quality presets for different Nitro and server boost levels.

## Download

See [latest release](https://github.com/cyroz1/vidcord/releases/latest) to download and install.

## Features

- Two methods to import videos:

  - File Explorer: Right click .mp4 files in File Explorer and choose "Compress with vidcord".

  - Manual: Drag and drop or browse for video files in the application.

- Five quality presets:

  - 10MB, 480p (Free users)

  - 25MB, 480p (Free users)

  - 50MB, 720p (Nitro Basic or Level 2 Boost)

  - 100MB, 1080p (Level 3 Boost)

  - 500MB, Native (Nitro)
