You will have to re-encode it.

HandBrake is an open-source Win app written in .NET that supports a wide variety of compression standards.

Site: [^].

On Git-Hub: [^].

You can use HandBrake from the command line: [^].

However, you should understand that video compression is a very complex, deep, technical process; software like HandBrake has an amazing number of options, and trying to use it from the command line, or within your own .NET app, would, imho, require extremely advanced technical expertise in both video formats, codecs, and .NET programming.

To reduce a video file size you need to change its resolution: which means transcoding it.
Anything to do with Video work is a complicated job in any language - you are best off to use an external program such as ffmpeg which will do it for you via Process.Start and providing the command line arguments.

You can get ffmpeg here: Download FFmpeg[^] and the command line switches are described here: ffmpeg Documentation[^] but don't expect this to be trivial reading!
You may also need to install a codec pack on your computer to get it all to work.
