       for every ffmpeg option, there exists a matching small script written by some frustrated programmer who can't remember the arguments, so they wrote a script to remember it for them

       @foone absolutely true, everything i do with ffmpeg is a shell script in ~/bin

       @foone still better than a gui which needs screenshots to document how to convert the video.Last time I had to timelapse a dozen videos from an even. Wrote one script, called it multiple times in a loop.No need to sit in front of the pc.

       @foone I have the meta problem now - I can't recall in _which_ script I used certain options to do things and have to hunt through them all ...

       @foone Ha! Yeah. Thank goodness for web searches. Every time I need to do something like change metadata or codecs, I'm back to them.How in the heck did this thread turn into a treatise on invoking tar? Also, 't is for targets'?

       @foone Now the trick is remembering the script.  😁
