Hello! I am experiencing the same issue. Sometimes it compresses the video, sometimes not, I have a simillar configuration to @Franklyn-luupli. Did you manage to figure out why?

[frankelly001]

@melendus This is my config currently work fine on production, after a white i was getting report that video no compress

const videoCompress = async (
    path: string,
    height: number | undefined = 1280,
    width: number | undefined = 720,
  ) => {
    // Validate input file
    const fileExists = await RNFS.exists(path);
    if (!fileExists) throw new Error('Video file does not exist');
    const stats = await RNFS.stat(path);
    if (Number(stats.size) <= 0) throw new Error('Video file is empty');
  
    const brand = (await DeviceInfo.getBrand()).toLowerCase();
    const isPortrait = height >= width;
  
    // Base maxSize suggestion by brand
    let suggestedMaxSize = isPortrait ? 1280 : 720;
    if (brand.includes('samsung')) {
      suggestedMaxSize = isPortrait ? 1280 : 720;
    } else if (brand.includes('huawei')) {
      suggestedMaxSize = isPortrait ? 960 : 720;
    }
  
    // Allowed min & max
    const minAllowed = isPortrait ? 720 : 480;
    const maxAllowed = brand.includes('samsung')
      ? isPortrait
        ? 1920
        : 1280
      : brand.includes('huawei')
      ? isPortrait
        ? 1280
        : 960
      : isPortrait
      ? 1920
      : 1280;
  
    // Clamp maxSize between minAllowed and maxAllowed
    const maxSize = Math.max(minAllowed, Math.min(suggestedMaxSize, maxAllowed));
    await clearCache();
    const compressedPath = await Video.compress(
      path,
      {
        compressionMethod: 'manual',
        maxSize,
        bitrate: isPortrait ? 3_000_000 : 2_500_000, // Keep at least 1 Mbps
        minimumFileSizeForCompress: 5_000_000, // 5 MB threshold
      },
      progress => {
        logThis('Video compress progress', progress);
      },
    );
  
    logThis('compressedPath...', compressedPath, path);
  
    // Validate output file
    const compressedExists = await RNFS.exists(compressedPath);
    if (!compressedExists) throw new Error('Compression failed');
    const compressedStats = await RNFS.stat(compressedPath);
    if (Number(compressedStats.size) < 50000) {
      // <50 KB is suspicious
      throw new Error('Compressed file too small (possible corruption)');
    }
  
    return compressedPath;
  };

+1, no compression at all with the configs example from the docs

On my end, it does compress the video, but ONLY if I use "compressionMethod" => auto. as soon as I try with manual, it just returns immediately but an empty file uncompressed.
