Current problem

The file compressor plugin currently only supports images.
Extending this to handle other file types, primarily video would be awesome.

Preferred solution

Extend the plugin in have compressVideo method.

eg
const compressVideo = async () => {
const { path } = await FileCompressor.compressVideo({
mimeType: 'video/mp4',
path: 'content://...',
quality: 0.7
});
return path;
};

Alternative options

maybe transcodeVideo instead

const transcodeVideo = async () => {
const { path } = await FileCompressor.transcodeVideo({
mimeType: 'video/mp4',
path: 'content://...',
quality: 0.7,
maintainAspect: true,
height: 480
});
return path;
};

Additional context

Ability to use webp and webm would be great too
