Video compression with ffmpeg

I have used standard Windows screenshot tool to record a video illsutrating GUI apps freeze as soon as detecting network change issue.

It is short and its size is 175 MB. A little bit to much to add it to github issue.

I used ffmpeg to compress it.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec libx265 -crf 20 output.mp4

-crf 20 is a compression parameter. Higher parameter will result a lighter video but with negative quality impact.

Compressed video is 5 MB. (30x size reduction, not that bad)

I can use it in github issues.
