Video Compressor 2014.622.2347.915
In case you want to quickly share some of the recordings you made with the phone's on-board camera, but they are oversized, you can enlist the help of a cool app for your Windows Phone that has a very suggestive name: Video Compressor.
Well-structured front-end with a clean look
The application offers a tidy appearance, with practicality at its core, but also featuring some decent graphics. All the commands and functions you will need when operating the utility are conveniently placed for ease of access.
Navigating inside the various sections of Video Compressor has a fluent feel to it, as there are no delays or other similar flaws to be found.
While previewing the input video or looking at the compressed clip, the quality is very good and the videos can be viewed in portrait or landscape orientation as well.
Effortless configuration for fast processing
This utility is able to receive input only from the local storage, so you will have to transfer to the Camera Roll folder any clips from the SD card or other sources that you want to work with.
As soon as the video is loaded and queued for compression, you can set the required output parameters by selecting the desired resolution and quality from the corresponding menus.
Video Compressor supports a lot of resolutions that range from 144p up to 1080p high-definition, with numerous quality levels to pick from, most of which are influenced by the video bitrate, as you will notice when checking out the output files.
Special options and detailed output settings
You can use the playback abilities of this utility to view the original and encoded clips on the spot and you will have a set of basic controls at your disposal, which consist of the play/pause button and the possibility to seek inside the video using the progress bar.
The app provides a set of advanced features that include setting the quality level by bitrate or having the clip compressed to meet the exact WhatsApp specifications, but these cannot be used until purchased.
Insofar as codec or encoding mode are concerned, you can choose the ones you want to try out from the "Settings" area, where you will also find some neat resolution correction options, with a framerate ratio preserving facility included.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
From the visual perspective, Video Compressor has a nice aspect, which, despite its simplicity, is very practical and easy to work with. |
Function8
The built-in capabilities of this application are quite appealing, but the advanced features are locked, while there is no way of creating and saving custom profiles. |
Security10
Very discreet while running and without needing to look inside any sensitive area of the system, the app is safe to have installed. |
Battery7
The application will need a substantial amount of energy when processing the videos, so the battery usage reaches high levels on a regular basis. |
Price9
The basic set of features provided free of costs and nuisances is nice to have, but there are more advanced options inside as well and these have to be purchased. |
Compatibility8
Video Compressor is designed to work only on the more recent devices out there, so a Windows Phone 8.1 handset is a must. |
