Why Compress Home Camera Footage?

Cloud storage subscriptions for Ring and Nest are expensive. Many users download footage locally — but it piles up fast.

VideoRecompress Studio re-encodes downloaded footage to H.265. At the same quality setting, H.265 files were a median 33 % smaller than H.264 in our 11 measured pairs.

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).

Download size: ~2 MB (web installer). Additional components including FFmpeg are downloaded during installation.

How to Uninstall

Open Windows Settings > Apps > Installed apps, find "VideoRecompress Studio" in the list, and click Uninstall. You can also run the uninstaller from the installation folder or use Control Panel > Programs and Features.
