FOSS. 38mb is a lot lighter than Davinci's 3gb+. It doesn't do compression per se, but re-encoding using H.264 will do that. You can choose from a range of CRF values.

What is Avidemux?
Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks. It supports many file types, including AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and powerful scripting. The basic use is cleaning up the video from the wrong shoots, to only keep the good ones.
PLEASE NOTE : It's a simple tool dedicated to a single task... It IS a LINEAR editor, NOT to edit and mix multiple videos, when you have multiple videos, it stacks them one after an other. It does NOT parrallel multi-video edit, but it's not its goal !

Absolute amazing! Just cut out a section out of an mp4 file without re-encoding (no loss of quality!) - excellent stuff!
I don't like Avidemux. There are some little annoyances, like very bad, not reconfigurable shortcuts if you're using an non-english keyboard-layout. The preview is not scalable. You have to input the output name if you're saving cutted parts, again and again. It's not very stable (in Windows only?). It's having big trouble with converting mpeg2-streams, but it don't display any hints it's not able to convert it. So you have to wait hours of encoding too see the audio is asynchron, the resolution wrong or other problems. That's all points VirtualDub is much more comfortable! But Avidemux supports a lot of codecs and containers, while VirtualDub is very limited. I hope AviDemux will gain quality in the future, then it would be a really great tool.

Avidemux's stabilizing filter definitely works. GridPlayer is a very good program to compare before and after side-by-side videos. Avidemux is a great program for a novice.
Software not updated since 2022.
I use this product most days. I find it strikingly easy to use and quick. It does all of the principal tasks that I need to perform on mp4 videos.

Most beneficial of this software is that it does not do useless rendering if it is not needed. It has a very easy interface. Fast and reliable. Quite a good amount of features for easy processing. errors are good explained. My number 1 recommendation to have a great GUI instead of terminal based ffmpeg commands.
