I asked this yesterday but it was incorrectly closed as a dupe of question:Reduce video frame rate without dropping useful frames
The difference between that question and this question is - in that question the user has a video that was, via software, upscaled from a low framerate to a higher one, and they want to bring it back down. In my case, I have a full desktop recording that was natively captured and recorded at 60 FPS, however, within that desktop, there is a window which displays a video that I care about which is only playing at 30 fps. However, in the desktop recording there are motions at 60 FPS (e.g. my cursor).
--- Original question ---
I have a screenrecording of a video chat I had and the filesize is massive because the screen recording itself was done at 59.93 fps. However, I think the video chat was something like 15-30 fps. Plus it was a video chat, so the individual frames were obviously compressed as well.
I don't want to lose the quality of the video (it's already somewhat poor considering it was a vid chat). However, I'd like to reduce the filesize. I don't quite know how to best go about this though... I suppose my question boils down to:
- Is there a way to somehow lower the framerate of the video in a way such that it is in sync with the framerate of the vid chat?
- Are there any other compression options I have that I'm unaware of?
Here's the ffmpeg -i output if that helps:
