That would be such a handy tool.. But it's very slow since it doesn't seem to use gpu acceleration. Nowadays with 4k and 60fps being common using a native library like Mediacodec is a must. Also you can't set Bitrate, that's the most important setting for streaming videos.

This post inspired me to enhance the amethyst video compression. It's already using the gpu accelerated native library... Just needs a bit smarter configurations!
This is awesome. I was always a little wary about using #Amethyst for media compression. It gives me very little information about what is going on. If you can change that with smart configs, it would be a game changer.
