Hey Alan!

AI> That looks like an update. My ffmpeg is currently 5.something.

Same here on a different drive.  5.2.1 methinks but I can readily check if it really matters.

AI> I wouldn't want to break streaming codecs on this machine

For sure.  I am guesstimating things will soon be back in sync but in the meantime there is nothing wrong with 5.2.1 that I am aware of BUT I do notice a speed and quality boost with 6.0 at the helm.  I did up a test 4K gopro video and plan to make up a 1020p and 720p of the exact same clip.  I stripped two minutes from the original 4K mp4 which was made by my youngest daughter of her paddle boarding just outside of the Ladysmith Harbour (Coffin Point).  I think they will make perfect test videos if you are in need.

AI> I wasn't planning on installing ffmpeg there but I think I will.

FOR SURE!!!  It is a dependency for both mplayer and vlc.  Also I heard vlc can play x265's which might matter in the near future.

AI> I'll install ffmpeg and mplayer and see what it can do on the console.

Sounds like a plan.

Life is good,
Maurice
