No. The "mp" in "mp4" stands for Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), which implies MPEG compression (*MPEG-4 Part 14*, specifically). Compression here is the opposite of what you're trying to achieve. Thanks, Alexander Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S22+ On Thu, Apr 21, 2022, 15:06 Michael via PL

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt bgr24 output.avi should be the one. but would ffmpeg -i input.flv -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt bgr24 output.mp4 give me a conversion from flv (the original format) to mp4 with just a stream of pictures like we want? On Thu, Apr 21, 2022 at 4:47 PM Mic

OK, the file you are trying to convert is already as small as it is going to get.This from fileinfo.com: Before 2007, OGG files were used to store various types of media, but since then the Xiph.Org Foundation recommends that OGG files store only audio data. Now, you will most likely encounter

well, the mp4 translation at 720p with handbrake didn't work so I guess I'll try to translate with ffmpeg. Is it as simple as stating: ffmpeg .flv -vf scale=-1:720 .ogg ? Sorry, I forgot to look ay the output before I closed handbrake. On Thu, Apr 21, 2022 at 3:02 PM Snyder, Alexander J < alexan..

The concept of "shared" hosting still existed in the late 90's, at least for PHP hosting. I distinctly remember using what was xoom.com at the time which offered free php hosting. I had some stuff hosted there for a bit until either I moved somewhere else or they disappeared. On Thu, Apr 21, 20

I'd say that's true throughout IT; people are pretty specialized now compared to how it was in the 90s when you had to build the whole stack to do it yourself. Nowadays people can set up on shared hosting and configure things in a web browser and don't have to have a lot of low level knowledge. I'm
