Unlike centralized social media your videos aren't automatically optimized on Nostr. Here are some good tools to compress your videos for smaller size and better streaming before upload.

"Make sure to make it web optimized and no more than 720p. Or even 480p is great for a long news like segments 🐶🐾🫂🫡💜"

Handbrake

Handbrake looks complicated, but there are presets available. Under General, Fast 720p30 & Fast 480p30 will be good options. I would also enable the Web Optimized option for better streaming.

FFmpeg

If you are comfortable with the terminal FFmpeg is a best in class option. LLM's are useful to formulate your commands.
