>>13550238i'm three bottles deep so i'm not sure i can make a coherent explanation beyond a set of useful points
* ffmpeg arguments always apply to the next input/output, they're not global
* for output video you need to specify -b:v or -crf for output bitrate (and b:v units need to be capitalized eg 2M instead of 2m); i don't know how crf works
* pay attention to ffmpeg warnings; they're usually a good sign of something gone wrong
* if you find yourself thinking that you could split a video into multiple parts and rejoin them, -filter_complex will produce better output but also mindfuck you
honestly any workflow that works for you works; for me it's streamlink+mpv+ffmpeg because autism
