Yesterday, I used ffmpeg to lower the bitrate of my recorded french episodes of Doctor Who. The 480p files I recorded with QuickTime were over a gigabyte each. The bitrate was over 3 Mbit/s. I lowered the bitrate to 300 kbit/s and reduced the fps from 60 to 24. The files are now between 100 and 200 MB. The quality is OK to me. It's just a little choppy between frames. ffmpeg -i big.mp4 -b:v 300k -r 24 small.mp4 http://www.doctorwho2023.net/fr/
