🎥 Disconverter – Video Compressor for Discord-Unfriendly Media

A simple GUI and CLI tool that converts and compresses videos to be Discord-friendly — under 10MB and universally playable (H.264).

✨ What's New

• Sleek user interface with progress bar, file tracking, and debug console
• Remembers processed files with file hashing
• Still includes the original lightweight script: disconvert-light.py

---

Note: Make sure that u are using the latest FFmpeg verison when using the program. Older FFmpeg versions < 6 are vulnerable and shouldn't be used.

🤔 Why I Made This

• Videos from sites like Ylilauta.org wouldn’t play in Discord
• Needed to bypass Discord’s 8MB/10MB upload limit without Nitro
• Got tired of manually converting files or relying on janky websites like 8mb.video

🚀 What It Does

1. Goes through all files in a chosen folder
2. Converts non-H.264 videos to H.264 (compatible everywhere)
3. Creates compressed versions under 10MB for Discord sharing
4. Skips already-processed files using smart file hashing
5. Provides a simple interface for batch processing with optional debug output
