Again a double vote?

Very amusing Jeff G., please take this title as a well meant joke. But once again I noticed a double vote of yours. In this discussion you voted yes on the 2 of May and on the 18 May again. And I am sure you didn't mean to vote twice, its just funny its again me who notice that you voted twice. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 12:26, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Paradise Chronicle: Sorry, I fixed it. I will pay more attention to my previous votes in such large sections.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:36, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

V2C

Hi, Does V2C work for you? I couldn't upload any video for the last week. Thanks, Yann (talk) 19:34, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yann: Sadly no, my latest attempt to upload https://archive.org/details/dixiana-4-k to File:Dixiana 1930 (colorized, 4k, 60FPS).webm for you has been stuck pending for a week. Where do you find these 96+ year old and PD movies to upload?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:07, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please see my video uploads from 6 May onwards. V2C mostly worked until 15 May, and then they all failed. Now I am uploading them to IA or YT. I thought YT created WEBM versions, but it doesn't. Also, through my local library, I can have access to hundreds of old films. I haven't tried yet to upload from that. Yann (talk) 16:40, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that this Dixiana video is probably too big to be uploaded that way. It needs to be converted locally to a file less than 5 GB, then it could be uploaded. Yann (talk) 10:03, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Yann: That may be, but error 137 still needs to be documented and F2C still needs to deal with it gracefully. Can you possibly reduce the video to a little less than 4k pixels or a little less than 60FPS for upload? I have not been able to get such conversion working locally.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:13, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Inner details of ffmpeg is Hebrew to me. I can't help, but give a link to the doc. Sorry. As I wrote elsewhere, I tried using VLC, but it produces a 8.77 GB WEBM file from 1.2 GB MPEG4 file (after 24h running on my laptop). Clearly not a solution, as I can't do more than one film at a time. It would take ages to process all the films. If V2C uses the same parameters, it is not surprising all my videos failed. Yann (talk) 10:22, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Yann: Thanks, I'll look into that. The V2C talk page reveals much syntax for ffmpeg.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
May be Racconish could help. He has uploaded many videos. Yann (talk) 10:31, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What is the point of uploading a colorized version when the original has the last 20 minutes in technicolor? — Racconish💬 12:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Racconish: I was trying to help Yann.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:06, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but wouln't you both agree the charm of this film is precisely the old technicolor? — Racconish💬 12:13, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
