Captured video with AVCam Sample Project, but it is huge at 1080×720 resolution. How can I compress for saving to a web server?

I modified the sample code to not save the video file to the AssetsLibrary in “AvCamCaptureManager.m” “recordingDidFinishToOutputFileURL”, so I take that outputfile url and send it to my webserver using ASIHttp. These video files are huge, I want to reduce their resolution to 568×320 to reduce the file size.

Given the uncompressed url, how do I compress it to a smaller file format and/or resolution?

    I just saw your question, if it’s still of any help, try reducing the quelity for the whole session

    session.sessionPreset = AVCaptureSessionPresetMedium;

    or

    session.sessionPreset = AVCaptureSessionPresetLow;

    The first will give smaller files while keeping a decent quality, and the latter will give a very small file with the lowest quality available for your device.
