My use-case: streaming video to a Linux virtual mount and want compression of said video files on the fly.

Rclone has an experimental remote for compression but this stuff is important to me so that’s no good. I know rsync can do it but will it work for video files, and how I get rsync to warch the virtual mount-point and automatically compress and move over each individual file to rclone for upload to the Cloud? This is mostly to save on upload bandwidth and storage costs.

Thanks!

    What is the format of these videos? Im afraid you wont get much compression out of conventional file compressors, as video files are usually already compressed to the point where you would have to reencode them to get a smaller file.
