Your system will detect as a safety thread. Since code signiging costs between 200 - 500 USD / year, I have not included the signature in the app.
When you download and run EduCompress, your operating system may flag it as a potential security threat. This is a standard warning for unsigned applications. Code signing certificates, which help to verify the authenticity of the software, typically cost between $200 - $500 per year. To keep EduCompress accessible and free, it is currently distributed without such a signature.
- This warning does not indicate that EduCompress is harmful to your system.
- It simply means that the application is not signed by a recognized Certificate Authority.
- I assure you that EduCompress is developed with the utmost care for security and functionality.
- On Windows, you can choose to run the application anyway by clicking "More info" and then "Run anyway."
On macOS, you can open the application by right-clicking (or control-clicking) the app icon and selecting "Open."
Your understanding and trust are appreciated, and I'm committed to maintaining the integrity and safety of EduCompress.
Note: If you intend to convert standard videos, such as those containing music, dynamic scenes, or people, the resulting video quality may be terrible. This is because EduCompress's algorithm is specifically optimized for presentation-style content, not for general video compression. As such, it may not effectively handle the complexities of regular videos with continuous motion and sound.
I recorded my VS code screen for 23 seconds with an internal recorder, generating a 23.4 MB video. Most commonly used screen recorders will generate videos with a similar size, averaging ~ 1 MB per second, which is quite substantial.
However, with EduCompress, the video can be compressed down to just 443 KB, resulting in a video that is ~50 times smaller in size. You can check out the compressed version here.
- EduCompress leverages the powerful
ffmpegfor video processing, a leading multimedia framework capable of encoding, decoding, transcoding, muxing, demuxing, streaming, filtering, and playing almost any type of media.

Video compression is achieved using the
libx264codec, renowned for its efficiency and quality.
EduCompress is designed to work with Windows 64-bit systems. Compatibility with other operating systems or versions is not currently available but may be considered for future updates.
