FFMPEG is so great… whatever it is you need to do with a video file, all you have to do is type "ffmpeg [thing i need to do]" into Google, copy-paste your first result, and then it doesn't fucking work

@mcc i always walk into the temple of ffmpeg expecting to be impaled by sticks and being rolled over by a boulder, and then miraculously come out unharmed, unimaginable riches in tow

maybe it's because i never ask much

@mcc that said, i keep all my successes in scripts that act as executable documentation. because figuring out how to do something is always archeological work.
