It's too goddamn early in the morning (1:22pm) to deal with ffmpeg
-
realistically I probably won't do it this way.
I'll batch it up. Merge a hundred videos into one lossless master, then merge one lossless master with 100 more videos into lossless master #2, then repeat until I run out of videos
-
but I'm probably going to reencode those 3 Weird Videos anyway just so I have more control over how they're added.
one of them is 4:3, the rest are 16:9: clearly I should handle that myself and not just let ffmpeg pick some silly default for merging 4:3 content into a 16:9 stream -
@foone You can provide arguments via files IIRC.
-
@gudenau I think that's only for concat, not concat, which I'm using
-
@trini I'm not sure how that one works. do you just list multiple inputs and they get magically muxed?
-
ugh. I've written down the incantation to get lossless huffyuv but I wrote it down on my twitter, which google seems to no longer index.
-
probably a good sign I should get rid of that and archive it elsewhere
-
okay mass-converting them all to the same format.
all 3490 files. this'll take a while -
@foone Is it this one? https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1261463170725507073

@foone I’m just waiting for you to post “remember not to do this on a laptop” in an hour like you have had to every week
-
@joshuata thankfully they were already on a different computer so I wasn't tempted
-
@TemplailloAhi yes. thanks
-
@foone I meant to use concat, but I used concat. Damn it.

@xinit happens to the best of us
