System Requirements

You don't need a very strong device, but I suggest using something that has a good CPU, otherwise you may need to wait a long time for one video to compress.

TODO

• Optimize File Cleanup
• Add compression progress bar
• Make managing settings easier
• Add an option to change output file size
• Make the UI look better
• Improve Compression Settings

Troubleshooting

I can't visit the site from another device

Make sure, that you changed the last line of app.py to include:

app.run(debug=True, port=5000, host='0.0.0.0')

(Also make sure to change the port, if 5000 is already being used)

Anything else

Please create an issue, and I will try to help you solve it.
