which video output file format occupies less foot memory print with good quality of video on android phone? please advise
My recommendation is H.264-MP4. For example, I just converted an MPG file that is 11.43 MB to an  H.264-MP4 using the VLC method described in my previous post. The resulting MP4 file is only 4.02 MB, while its video and audio quality is just as good as the MPG.
HEVC (h.265) is by far smallest file size.

I your playback system supports HEVC, this will be what you use... if you have sufficient CPU speed + threads for sensible transcoding, as HEVC takes far more resource than h.264 takes.

Most phones + tablets have had HEVC codecs available for years, many times undocumented.

Also the options you use, primarily the preset + CRF setting, will determine speed of transcode + video quality + file size.

Likely you'll have to experiment a bit to get an acceptable setting.
