HandBrake and FFmpeg were recommended for video compression. HandBrake came up for manual processing, while one founder used FFmpeg in an automated website pipeline alongside ImageMagick for images. BanyanBoard was also mentioned as a broader LMS option with video streaming, annotation and collaboration features.

One example reduced a roughly 300 MB product turntable video to under 3 MB with acceptable quality. That involved simple visual content, so it is not an expected compression ratio for lectures. Test representative videos and check readable text, movement and audio before applying settings across your library.
