how do i compress a feature length movie down to a size i can post to discord. quality doesn't matter as long as it's visible and legible. i need this to troll a friend
ffmpeg
@typhlosion looks like discord supports vp9 video with opus audio in a webm container, so i'd encode it with ffmpeg using libvpx-vp9 and libopus.
this ffmpeg command will get you an unreasonably tiny file with an unreasonably fast encode:
`ffmpeg -i [INPUT] -c:v libvpx-vp9 -crf 63 -deadline realtime -cpu-used 8 -b:v 0 -c:a libopus -b:a 1k [OUTPUT].webm`
you can also scale the video with `-vf scale=-1:[HEIGHT]` if that's not tiny or fast enough for you!
@typhlosion could definitely do it with ffmpeg, i think handbrake might actually have some configs for this too
