Unlike centralized social media your videos aren't automatically optimized on Nostr. Here are some good tools to compress your videos for smaller size and better streaming before upload.

HandBrake: Open Source Video Transcoder

HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder.

Handbrake looks complicated, but there are presets available. Under General, Fast 720p30 & Fast 480p30 will be good options. I would also enable the Web Optimized option for better streaming. FFmpeg

FFmpeg

If you are comfortable with the terminal FFmpeg is a best in class option. LLM's are useful to formulate your commands.
