Compress video by 90% without losing much quality, similar to what Pied Piper

achieves.

positional arguments:

  

options:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit

  --verbose             show verbose log

  -t THREADS, --threads THREADS

                        max threads to use for compression. (default: 6)

  --crf CRF             constant rate factor, range from 0-51. Higher values

                        mean more compression, smaller file size, but lower

                        quality. (default: 30)

  --delete              delete input video after compress successfully

#+end_example

Positional arguments can be either video files or directories.

For each directory, =vc= will iteratively walk the dir to search for all videos to compress, the compressed video will be named after =${input}-compressed.mp4=.
