comment How can 1080p films be so disproportionally lightweight?
@sinekonata most video cameras - even the ones used by Hollywood - already record using lossy formats, so outputting to raw video would give no benefit. You can see the standards listed for digital cinema on Wikipedia - tl;dr they use (lossy) Motion JPEG2000 with a maximum bit rate of 250 Mbit/s.

comment recording to multiple locations
@JordanLeslieTrainor I don't know if that's possible, but you might have better luck asking a more generic 'emulating RAID 0 with software' question over on superuser or one of the other more technically-oriented SE sites

comment How to get FFMPEG to join non-sequential image files? (skip by 3s)
I'm pretty sure that you need to put *.png in single-quotes (so '*.png') to avoid it being expanded by Unix-style shells (so, OSX and linux etc).

comment Non-Linear Video Editor for Free or Cheap That Does These Things
+1 - Lightworks is a great tool, I've come to like it more than FCP. It does have a slightly steep learning curve though.

comment Lossless convert WMA to WAV on a mac
For converting a directory recursively, you'll want to use find, either with the -exec option, or piping to ffmpeg via xargs. If you want to get fancy, you could install GNU parallel and perform multiple conversions simultaneously. A basic example would be: find . -type f -name '*.wma' -exec bash -c 'ffmpeg -i "$0" "${0%.wma}.wav"' '{}' \; - see here for some related information.

comment Recommendation to Shooting Long Videos
Does this camera stop recording at those points, or merely split the recording into several files?

comment How to maximize volume and sound quality of a YouTube video
It should be noted that youtube performs its own compression on every video uploaded, so you should export to the least-compressed version you can be bothered with (obviously, larger file=longer to upload). Also, IIRC (last time I checked this was two years ago), youtube uses better-quality (higher bit rate) audio compression for 720p and 1080p videos that it does for SD content, so uploading HD stuff might help.

comment OGV Format plays properly on my computer but transcoding drops (duplicate?) frames
Would an answer along the lines of 'use a different screen recording program' be acceptable? It looks like GTK-recordmydesktop is creating broken files.
