4K HDR Compression Without Compromise

4K HDR files are enormous: 50 to 100 GB per hour of footage. H.265 or AV1 brings that down; how far depends on the source, so run Test Encode (10s) on one file first.

VideoRecompress preserves HDR10 metadata, 10-bit color depth, and Dolby Vision signals during re-encoding.

Watch: H.265 or AV1 for playback, the web and archiving

Published by ContentaSoft, Umea, Sweden — developer of VideoRecompress Studio.

VideoRecompress Studio is a desktop application for Windows that batch compresses and re-encodes videos using modern codecs (H.265, AV1, VP9) with hardware acceleration.

This software contains no adware, spyware, toolbars, or bundled third-party programs. The installer installs only VideoRecompress Studio and FFmpeg (open-source video engine).

All videos are processed locally on your computer. No files are uploaded to any server. The software does not collect personal data.

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. Lifetime license: $79 (one-time payment, no subscription).
