## compress visually-losslessly
# crf: compression levvel, high values lead to smaller file with worse quality.
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset veryslow -c:a copy out.mp4

## concat videos sequentially
# create a file `list.txt` containing the videos you want to concat
file a.mp4
file b.mp4
# run
