I've accumulated too many quadcopter (drone) footage files (.mp4, .MOV, etc).

I researched how to ffmpeg re-encode with "practical" losslessness (i.e. not lessless, but human eye acceptable).

These are my resultant scripts. The filenames say "reduce" but should actually be "re-encode".

In the case of GoPro, these scripts should retain the Gyro data.

I recommend footage filenames and folder-names to not include spaces. I rename all existing files in a folder with the command rename "s/[[:space:]]/_/g" * to make certain i have no spaces in filenames. You could rename all files in subfolders as well: e.g. find ~/SYNC/YT-Archive/ -type f -name "*[[:space:]]*" -exec rename "s/[[:space:]]/_/g" "{}" \;.

ABOUT

about:config settings to harden the Firefox browser. Privacy and performance enhancements.
To change these settings type 'about:config' in the url bar. Then search the setting you would like to change and modify the value. Some settings may break certain websites from functioning and rendering normally. Some settings may also make firefox unstable.

I am not liable for any damages/loss of data.

Not all these changes are necessary and will be dependent upon your usage and hardware. Do some research on settings if you don't understand what they do. These settings are best combined with your standard privacy extensions (HTTPS Everywhere, NoScript/Request Policy, uBlock origin, agent spoofing, Privacy Badger etc), and all plugins set to "Ask To Activate".
