- Hi, I've recently found a video called "The Devil Bat". I've recently gotten into adding subtitles to it, but the media player that opens the video isn't very precise, it doesn't measure the milliseconds, different from the SubScript text thing it offers to use to add subtitles. I've already asked this question on the help desk, and a user suggested I try the Graphic Lab/Video and sound workshop.Is there something like an extension that can show the milliseconds/ zoom in onto the video-playing bar?

A chimney that was 170 meters high has been recently demolished by explosives in
en:Leipzig
. I’ve lent a 4K camera and got quite nice video footage from the event including the warning siren, the explosion, the collapse and the dust cloud. I cut exactly 3 minutes from my raw footage. It will be a nice addition to
Category:Chimney blastings
or
Category:Videos of demolitions
because it has better quality than most videos there, I think.
According to
Help:Converting video
I
must
convert the original MP4 to VP9. I tried to do that with
ffmpeg
like described under
#Linux and OS X command line
. The 4K file in VP9 is HUGE although everything seems correct. I am not a video expert. Is VP9 so much worse than H264?? I’ve got these files (specs from
mpv
output):
- 3.2GB 4K.mov: h264 3840x2160 59.940fps, pcm_s16be 2ch 48000Hz
- 28GB
4K.webm: vp9 3840x2160 59.940fps, opus 2ch 48000Hz
- 2.9GB 720p.webm: vp9 1280x720 59.940fps, opus 2ch 48000Hz
Which format would Wikimedia Commons prefer to receive?
What could be wrong about my files? Can I create a VP9 file of reasonable size?
Are there any alternatives to uploading VP9 like AV1 or even the original MP4? The help page doesn’t even mention AV1 but in
this thread
it’s been discussed but I don’t know the current state.

That doesn't seem right. Can you add the exact commandline you used?? For easy upload, try using
https://video2commons.toolforge.org
, which does the conversion for you. ?

AV1 does work now with Commons. So you can try to do it with AV1. But there are some Videos that simply "explode" in size when encoded. Yours may be one of them. You can try to stabilize it before transcoding to webm, or you can split it into parts of - say - 5 seconds and transcode each individually. You may experience that all but one part generates a reasonable file size. If you concat the parts you will probably end up with a video below the 4GiB size limit.

I have recorded two binaural audio files. Unfortunately, the recorder only recorded the first second and then deleted it again. However, I have a backup and I have uploaded it. The two tracks for left and right are not next to each other but behind each other in the file. I also don't know which track is left and which is right and the beginnings are not synchronised. Can someone take care of the files and put them together properly so that they can be listened to binaurally?

- Hello, I'm new to the Wikimedia Commons. I stumbled upon this video and saw that the subtitles were incomplete. I've added roughly two minutes of subtitles but wanted to know if I was doing the best practice and if there was any other information I should take into account when subtitling videos.
- I hope this is the right place to ask a question such as this, but if it's not, I'd be happy to receive the correct location for a question like this.
