Problems with FFMPEG and streaming.
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2024 8:39 am
I was trying to reduce the size of some of my videos today and I ran into a problem with ffmpeg and UMS. I added the "-preset slow" to my ffmpeg. While the file was smaller my Samsung TV wouldn't accept the video any longer. My understanding of adding the "-preset: slow" is that it would impact the analysis of the video for better compression.
I examined the file best that I could. FFProbe shows no differences between the two files.
But I was hoping that someone that knows the answer any of the following questions as my knowledge is limited on this one.
1. Is UMS treating the file differently?
2. Is the file significantly different encoding wise?
3. Or is it Samsung being picky. It is a 2017 model.
I used a video ripped from the original DVD for testing.
