Hi, compressing video files is not a really good idea in general. They are already compressed as much as possible. If you are lucky you may get 1% smaller files. But they may even get bigger and it drains the battery quite a lot. Besides that, this library it not really fit for large files, because you must load the whole file into memory. That is OK when the files are small, (< ~2MB) but video files are normally bigger.

Just upload them without compression.
