Is there any library I can install to be able to create a video file with changes?

I have a video file (.mov) currently uploading to my server. I'd like to create a duplicate version of it 1/4 the size, with no audio, and reduce the bitrate by 100 kilos (if this part isn't possible thats fine). Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks.

On one of my older machines I have something that can do that called Super:

and:

the last of which is the closest I know of to being strictly a library.

Okay, thanks I'll look into these in a bit.

Oh, sorry I was rushed when I typed this before. All of the above suggestions are programs. However, if you are planning on running it from PHP, the last one, ffmpeg, is probably the best of the bunch. It's a cross platform command line utility. The kind of thing you should be easily able to run with exec(). In fact, you could probably make your own UI for it in PHP and HTML.

Oh, there already is an interface of sorts for ffmpeg and PHP:
