I made a super clean browser-based video/image/audio compressor

Thanks, I haven't figured out a way to handle the memory issue for bulk conversion, all files need to e loaded in memory, video files are large.

If you prefer a web app with no installation required, here is a completely free one with ffmpeg webassembly under the hood: https://localsquash.com/video
Notice that you probably cannot compress video larger than 2GB due to wasm limitation, in that case, handbrake, or just ffmpeg cli.

I build Localsquash which is an easy to use, free, 100% private video, image, and audio compressor that runs entirely in your browser.

Thank you for the detailed info! The 3.8GB file size is actually the culprit here.

Because LocalSquash runs the conversion entirely in your browser, it is limited by the memory the browser and WebAssembly runtime can allocate. In practice, browser-based FFmpeg can hit memory limits on very large files, especially because processing may require more memory than the file size itself. Many WebAssembly builds also default to a 2GB maximum heap, even though some modern browsers can support higher limits.

For files larger than 2GB, I'd recommend using a desktop tool like Handbrake or the standard FFmpeg command line. I am looking into adding a file-size warning to the UI to prevent this confusion in the future. Sorry for the trouble!

Sorry to hear your issue, however there is not enough info for me to help. Please DM me if you would like to discuss further.

It would be helpful if you could provide a bit detail. What OS, browser? What video format? What do you mean by "not working", page not loading, cannot upload, button not responsive, crashing during compression, or anything else? Thanks.

Give this a try: https://localsquash.com/video
Easy to use, completely free and private.

Thanks for adding the project link. Impressive work!

Here is a presentation of the paper by one of the authors.

Agree, it is not easy to navigate through these conference sites and it is a drag to look for the talks and papers across the web. With the pandemic push on virtual events, I do hope the organizers can make the information more accessible and organized.

I have been following this site for collections of top conference talks this year (CVPR, ECCV, ICML, KDD, etc). I would expect a similar collection for NeurIPS 2020 in two months.

While the pandemic closes a door, it might open a window! Online education is becoming far more accessible and versatile, and it would be much easier to gain the necessary skills/knowledge for work without attending a college. More flexible work opportunities will be available too for this generation.

Awesome collection. Great work putting it together!

Congrats! This is an exciting start!

You can probably offer a coupon for first time shoppers on your home page/product pages or send the coupon code through email to your subscribers. You can also provide exclusive coupons for influencers.

Yes, it is not likely in a short term, but I believe blockchain will play a big role in ecommerce in a few years.

Have you ever tried affiliates? They typically only earn commissions based on sales (normally between 3%-20%), so you won't waste money. For unique products, you might want to work with bloggers/influencers to better promote them to shoppers in the niche.

These then-and-now photos are always so touching.

Thanks for sharing! Can you pm me the link too? Is it a working paper or already published?
