        # 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 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:

  - Drag and drop or browse for video files to import.

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

- Select between 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 res (Nitro)

- Chose between common hardware and software encoders.

- Adjust the start and end points of the video with sliders and a live preview.

- Progress bar and ETA are displayed during encoding.
