• Filename is the default argument that must be passed containing the filename of the file to compress.
• Filesize is the size of the output file in MiB. It has a default value of 20 MiB
• Output is the name of the output file. Its default value is equal to Filename.

• vidcmp filename Compresses and overwrites file with a file size of 20 MiB
• vidcmp -Filename filename.mp4 -Filesize 10 -Output compressed.mp4 Compresses the file to 10 MiB and saves it as compressed.mp4
