Update: Custom Target Size, 5GB Uploads & Progress Bar

New Features

  • Upload up to 5GB videos – Increased the maximum upload size from 500MB to 5,000MB, allowing users to compress much larger files.
  • Custom Target Size Selection – Users can now choose the exact size they want their video to be compressed to (e.g. 25MB, 50MB, etc.), with a minimum allowed target of 1/50th of the original file size.
  • Upload Progress Bar – A visual progress indicator now displays the upload status in real time for better feedback and usability.

Improvements

  • Bitrate Calculation Refined – The algorithm for determining the optimal bitrate has been improved, resulting in output files that are closer to the desired target size.
  • Smarter Compression Handling – Adjustments to the FFmpeg compression logic provide more consistent file sizes. Minor deviations may still occur (e.g., a 50MB target resulting in a 52MB file), especially on large files.
