Mmm. ok. Try this then: ffmpeg -i programme.mp4 -vtag xvid -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec libmp3lame -sameq
That is about 20% smaller, but my rubbish TV can't play it :-( I think I'll just have to stick with what I have and be grateful that a conversion is possible, without whining about the size!
However, I have to admit that I was a bit surprised that the file size baloons by a factor of 2.5 (even after that 20% improvement). I knew that each newer version of compression saved ever more space (at the expense of processing required) but the magnitude, I had not appreciated.
erm, er ... "from" I'm really not sure (I'm not a user of the web interface); "with" I don't see why not.
I was thinking that it would allow me to convert everything downloaded automatically, but I see that will be a bit more of a struggle. Never mind.
Thanks! _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
