Your sample command for conversion to x264 disappeared. Could you post it again? On Fri, Apr 8, 2022 at 11:23 AM Michael wrote: > when it finished converting to an ogg the size is 530MB but the video > sucked though the audio was fine. could you send me the x264? > > On Fri, Apr 8, 2022 at 11:14

I don't think there is any point in converting this file, it is already as small as it is going to get. If you look at the file information it is already encoded as x264 video and aac audio. What problems do you have playing this video ? On Fri, Apr 8, 2022 at 10:13 AM Michael via PLUG-discuss <
