## What is this?
dannyrocko5976 is a program that can compress any video file of any size to the following sizes:
DannyVideoCompressor is a program that can compress any video file of any size to the following sizes:
- 8MB
- 25MB
- 50MB
- 100MB

Since Discord only allows you to upload files up to 25MB (as a non-nitro user) or 100MB (as a nitro user), I coded this application as a way to upload videos I want onto Discord with the cost of destroying it's quality.

This is meant to be a local alternative version of [8mb.video](https://8mb.video/), a common website that my friends and I use to compress videos. However, the problem with this is you have to wait for the video to be uploaded onto the site, wait for it to be compressed, then re-download the video. With bad internet, this could take ages. dannyrocko5976 is coded to solve the time issue.

## Pre-requisites (IMPORTANT)
This application was created and tested only on Windows, so as of now, this application can only run on **Windows x64-86 architecture, Windows 7.0+.**.

This application uses FFmpeg, a bundle of different libraries used to handle different media files (videos, audio files). In order to use this application, you HAVE to install FFmpeg and add it to PATH. Without FFmpeg, dannyrocko5976 will not work.

## How to Install and Run?
Before reading this, make sure to read the [pre-requisites](#pre-requisites-important), or else this application may not work on your computer!

For a pre-compiled executable file, please head over to [Releases](https://github.com/dannynotsmart/dannyrocko5976/releases/tag/v1.0.0), and install the .exe file.

If you would like to build this project yourself, you can easily do so by cloning this repository in Visual Studios, then build it.

## How to use?
1. Open up the application, `DannyRocko5976.exe`. Windows' AntiVirus will flag this EXE because I don't have a certificate or something, so it can't verify me as the author. Press `Run Anyway`.

2. Select the video to compress, by clicking the `CHOOSE` button next to `Choose Input Video`. You can also drag and drop a video file onto the button. **This will not work for videos under 8MB, because why would you compress those videos?**
3. Select the folder where the compressed video will be saved, by clicking the `CHOOSE` button next to `Choose Output Folder`. You can also drag and drop a folder onto the button.
4. Choose the new compressed size via the buttons that are enabled. For some reason, FFmpeg will actually compress it to a few megabytes less than your chosen compression size.

If you would like to message me personally for any questions or such, my Discord username is @`applicationprogramminginterface` (sus). To have mutual servers, you can join `discord.gg/python`, `discord.gg/dpy`, or `discord.gg/csharp`.

## Why this name?
I have no idea honestly, this name used to be my Xbox Gamertag. I will probably change this soon to be more transparent of what this actually is.

## Expected Features
- Select specific compression size
- Clear input button
