Video sizes are huge, causing slow download speeds over WiFi #136

I am recording on a HERO 7 BLACK and getting huge video sizes at the lowest resolution settings. In return, trying to download these videos on a 5Ghz WiFi 5 connection still takes a long time. Are there any suggestions in the code or otherwise to reduce the video size or download speeds. I am controlling several different cameras and trying to download long videos.

You could download the Low Res version. downloadLowRes()

@KonradIT The purpose of the video is to annotate? Would the Low Res version lose enough integrity for the video not to work well with ML?

LRV is usually 840x480 in size, at a low bitrate. Not the resolution or bitrate I'd use for machine learning.

@KonradIT Thanks.
