--- Comment #7 from Tomasz W. Kozłowski <[email protected]> ---
So I checked the OGV file, and it looks like there is no possibility for me to
decrease its size without decreasing (a.k.a. damaging) the quality even
further--I am already using "ffmpeg2theora -v 7 -a 6 --optimize" to convert the
file.

If the file is too big to be hosted on Wikimedia Commons, then I would be quite
OK with closing this bug as RESOLVED FIXED, because the encyclopaedic value of
this video is probably not too big; we can always refer to the White House
website if a reader would want to watch the whole ceremony, and the most
important part of it (the inaugural address) is already there on Commons.

Coincidentally, the maximum size of the file as reported by the command line
seems to equal the [[memory address#Word size versus address size|word size]]
of a 32-bit computer: 4,294,967,296 bytes, or 4 gibibytes (GiB). Should we
assume that this is the maximum size of a file that could now be hosted on any
of the Wikimedia wikis, and Commons in particular?
