actually the number two IRL

Thanks for playing, everyone. I'll see you around.


i put the preceeding post about ogg vorbis in my drafts and then, considering my own advice but not thinking the post good enough to publish immediately, decided to use vorbis as the audio codec for some videos I'm saving as part of a project, entirely forgetting that I need all the videos to have identical codecs, and now not only do I have to go back and change them all to mp3, there will be imperceptible generation loss from encoding the audio a second time

in reply to @two's post:

I'm gonna be honest the only reason I'm using mp3 is because I couldn't be bothered to look up what codecs were supported in mp4 and guessed that mp3 would work because it's the previous installment in the mp series. Also avidemux complained when I tried to use opus :(

id suggest you don't use mp4 either, ideally you want to work with av1 video codec in an mkv or webm file, and if you can't do av1 then vp9

mkv supports more codecs than webm but doesn't work in most applications, including every web browser. you probably wouldn't be using every random codec anyways. it might also have some other things but i have no clue what they are and again you likely wouldn't use them
