Options available in Windows 11 for resizing MP4 video files in a batch

For Windows 11 and resizing MP4 video files in batch, here are your best options:

---

✅ Option 1: FFmpeg (Recommended – Powerful & Free)

Step-by-Step:

1. Download FFmpeg:
   • Go to: https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
   • Choose the Windows build (e.g., via https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/)
   • Extract and place the bin\ffmpeg.exe somewhere like C:\FFmpeg\bin
2. Add FFmpeg to your PATH:
   • So you can run ffmpeg from any Command Prompt.
3. Put your MP4s in one folder, e.g., C:\VideosToResize
4. Run this Command in Command Prompt:

cd C:\VideosToResize

for %f in (*.mp4) do ffmpeg -i "%f" -vf scale=1280:720 "resized_%~nf.mp4"

This will:

• Resize all .mp4 videos to 1280×720
• Save as resized_originalfilename.mp4 in the same folder

🔧 You can change 1280:720 to any resolution (e.g., 854:480 for 480p)

✅ Option 2: HandBrake (Easy GUI Option)

Steps:

1. Download HandBrake: https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
2. Open HandBrake
3. Go to File → Batch Scan, select your folder of MP4s
4. In Presets, choose a resolution (e.g., “Fast 720p30”)
5. Set destination folder
6. Click Start Queue

✅ Easy, GUI-based
⛔ A bit slower than FFmpeg for large batches

✅ Option 3: XMedia Recode (GUI, Very Detailed)

• Download from: https://www.xmedia-recode.de/en/
• Drag in multiple MP4s
• Set output format (MP4)
• Go to Filters/Preview → Resize, choose your target resolution
• Add all to queue, then encode
