You can try Intel INDE on https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-inde and Media Pack for Android which is a part of INDE, tutorials on https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-inde-media-pack-for-android-tutorials. It has a sample that shows how to use media pack to transcode=recompress video files. You can set smaller resolution and\or bitrate to output to get smaller file

in ComposerTranscodeCoreActivity.java

protected void setTranscodeParameters(MediaComposer mediaComposer) throws IOException {

    mediaComposer.addSourceFile(mediaUri1);
    mediaComposer.setTargetFile(dstMediaPath);

    configureVideoEncoder(mediaComposer, videoWidthOut, videoHeightOut);
    configureAudioEncoder(mediaComposer);
}

protected void transcode() throws Exception {

    factory = new AndroidMediaObjectFactory(getApplicationContext());
    mediaComposer = new MediaComposer(factory, progressListener);
    setTranscodeParameters(mediaComposer);
    mediaComposer.start();
}
