What Users Say

★★★★★

I freed up over 800 GB on my NAS by re-encoding old surveillance footage. The GPU acceleration made it surprisingly fast.

Marcus T. — IT Administrator
★★★★★

Perfect for archiving wedding videos. My clients get smaller files to share, and the quality is indistinguishable from the originals.

Sarah L. — Wedding Videographer
★★★★★

I was skeptical about AV1, but the savings are incredible. My YouTube raw files went from 50 GB to under 15 GB each.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it modify my original videos?▼

No. Your original files are never touched. VideoRecompress Studio creates new compressed copies and leaves the originals exactly as they are.

Does it work with 4K and 8K video?▼

Yes. All resolutions are supported, from standard definition up to 8K. Hardware acceleration makes high-resolution encoding fast and practical.

What GPUs are supported?▼

NVIDIA NVENC (GeForce GTX/RTX), Intel Quick Sync Video (QSV), and AMD AMF (Radeon RX). The software automatically detects your GPU and falls back to software encoding if needed.

How is this different from HandBrake?▼

VideoRecompress Studio is purpose-built for batch recompression. You get smart presets, one-click GPU acceleration, multi-worker batch processing, built-in trimming, GIF creation, and dedicated support — all without manual configuration.

What happens after the trial?▼

30-day free trial: your first 10 files convert with no watermark; after that files get a watermark and a 10-minute cap. Buying removes both.
