Installing
Three steps and you are running
Run the installer
Open the downloaded PortableVideoCompressor-Setup-2.0.exe. Windows SmartScreen may warn on a freshly downloaded installer; a checksum will be published here so you can verify your download first.
Choose portable or system
Portable keeps the whole app in one folder you can move or run from a USB drive, with nothing left on your system. A system install adds a Start Menu shortcut and an Add or Remove Programs entry. Pick whichever suits you.
Launch and compress
On first launch the app briefly probes FFmpeg to detect which encoders work on your machine. A short window may flash; that is normal.
No cost, ever
