  • @LordNeckbeard Thanks. I'm not familiar with ffmpeg so please feel free to correct/edit the answer if there are details that I missed. Also, I find it amusing that you're actually able to follow through on that comment you wrote a year ago. Commented Aug 21, 2013 at 20:47
  • Thanks. Which comment are you referring to?

  • I attempted this. On my Mac, the new video plays fine and is much smaller (just 12 MB), but it plays neither video nor audio on Windows 7. Quicktime (on the Mac) says that the video is MPEG-2 Video with MPEG Layer 3 audio. I'll edit my question to have more details on the output of ffmpeg. Commented Aug 21, 2013 at 21:00
  • @DarthAndroid - I have attempted this, but now the video simply doesn't play in Windows 7. I've added a log to my question showing the output from ffmpeg. Commented Aug 21, 2013 at 21:08
  • I tried putting the mpg produced through this command into ffmpeg again to convert it to something else - of note, it said the audio was mp2 even though Quicktime says it's layer 3. So perhaps Quicktime just has a typo in it. Or maybe ffmpeg does. Commented Aug 21, 2013 at 21:17
