sorry eric. I forgot you mentioned handbrake. unfortunately it does not convert to ogg. I'll try converting to mp4 and see if it stutters at 720 On Thu, Apr 21, 2022 at 11:10 AM Michael wrote: > Nope no one mentioned it. I'll give 'er a try! > Thanks. > > On Thu, Apr 21, 2022 at 10:46 AM

I am now converting. Not knowing what I'm doing I accepted the defaults changing the resolution limit to '480p NTSC'. That sounds right (I guess). On Thu, Apr 21, 2022 at 11:10 AM Michael wrote: > Nope no one mentioned it. I'll give 'er a try! > Thanks. > > On Thu, Apr 21, 2022 at 10:46 AM

I will have to take a close look at the ffmpeg man page. I am sure there is a command line switch that can select resolution size. -Eric From the Central Offices of the Technomage Guild, Multimedia recoding dept. > On Apr 16, 2022, at 10:53 PM, Michael via PLUG-discuss > wrote: > > I have

Well, there are some command line tools you can use like ffmpeg. Also, there is a linux version of Handbrake that can convert just about any video/audio streaming format to mp4. You can then set it up for either 480p or 720p depending on your machines display requirements. -Eric From the

Are you on dialup ? I didn't say pick one, I'm sure the lowest quality will work, but you want to know what your system can handle, so keep downloading the next quality up until you get stuttering. Or try the middle and go up if it works or down if it doesn't. Then you can work on what you need to

You need to figure out what your system can play without it stuttering, I would suggest you go here https://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/ and download each of the versions of the movie and play each one. If it stutters, then rule out the settings for that format. When you find a

I recorded a instruction session with someone today and my computer can't handle the video output. The sound is OK but the video plays in spurts and then it is just frozen. I looked up how to convert the .flv file to an .mp4 (ffmpeg -i filename.flv -sameq -ar 22050 filename.mp4) but would taking
