I always find that TikTok downloadable videos have a great size to quality ratio. With dark magic, a friend figured out what #ffmpeg options they use. Here you go:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 \
-vf "scale=576:1024:flags=lanczos" \
-c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level 3.1 -preset slow \
-b:v 385k -maxrate 420k -bufsize 800k \
-c:a aac -b:a 37k -ac 2 -ar 44100 \
-movflags +faststart \
output_tiktok_style.mp4

I still can't make mpv work again...

I don't know if it is still broken for everyone or if I have broken it even more...

I dropped the old version of libtheora as suggested and messed around with the symlinks and I don't know how to get it back to "normal".

(I use multilib, alienbob and kde6 repos)

I currently have this mess in /lib64:

I did this amazing recording of a tree swaying in the wind and knocking at another tree the other day for my upcoming mini exhibition at Notam. It was recorded by sticking a Geofin in between the roots to get the sound of the wind from the perspective of the tree.

I will resynthesize this as a vibrator motor signal for the exhibition too. Pretty excited!

MTS files are a common container format for high-definition video, often used by HD camcorders, and can be played with various media players like VLC, or converted to other formats like MP4 using Handbrake or FFmpeg. Video editors like Kdenlive, Flowblade and Shortcut also support editing MTS files.

Checking my download of tonight's #Monsterdon and it is REALLY shaky. I found this blog on how to do #video stablization with #ffmpeg. I love the way it shows how to make a side-by-side comparison video. This is 10 seconds of the opening credits. original on the left, stabilized on the right.

#FFmpeg is multi-platform swiss-army knife of libraries and tools, of which only one ffmpeg command.

I'm not an expert user but over the years it has helped me to:

* convert ripped CD flacs to mp3/ogg

* re-encode video for a specific task eg friends' problematic players, and even projection at an art exhibition

* making animated maths visualisations from a sequence of images from python matplotlib eg

Shit, I just realized there is something from #Twitter I really do miss, and that is the #FFmpeg account. Someone has to know somebody over there. Though, it would be kind of funny to act like #Microsoft and file a "High Priority" bug report on a community run, open source, project
