Do you think compression is necessary for iPhone videos?
Unlike centralized social media your videos aren't automatically optimized on Nostr. Her are some good tools to compress your videos for smaller size and better streaming before upload.
🔹Android
FFshare - Open source, ffmpeg based

Proton - Google Play Store

🔹Desktop - both are available for Linux, Mac & Windows.
Handbrake
FFmpeg

Any video, yeah. Your phone saves for maximum quality. For posting on the Web you want to optimize for loading speed and bandwidth. Major platforms do this on their servers, Nostr doesn't have this yet unfortunately.
Ok good to know! Thanks Ryan 🙏
Phone videos are the worst. When I move them to other storage I always batch re-encode them.
