What to expect
Re-encode a video with an adjustable quality setting. Browser processing keeps files on this device. Choosing Local server sends files to this website’s own processor. Exports H.264 video and AAC audio in MP4. The first video/audio tracks are used; subtitle and extra tracks are omitted.
