Have you googled for a solution yet? Chances are there are libraries out there that do this, as mentioned below though, you might be surprised at what a time-intensive process this is going to be so you might need to re-think how you intend on doing this (ie use a queue mechanism to resize the videos via a background task).

Don't.
Resizing video is a time consuming process - it uses processor and RAM like crazy, and still takes a significant amount of time. Unless you have a dedicated computer (or several) that you can queue the file conversions to, you are going to badly affect your webserver and the delivery of all the pages it serves, not just your own. Since this is a web site, it's very feasible that multiple users will upload simultaneously, and that will place an increasing load on the webserver - and the hosting service (or appropriate admin) will have strongly worded things to say about it!

If you need to restrict video size, get the client to reduce it - don't try to transcode video on the server.
