gollark: I could host this "video" for you off my server, but you would need to send it to me somehow in any case and also my upload speed means that at any decent bitrate only something like 4 people could watch it at once.
gollark: What a surprise.
gollark: It'll be in really bad quality. 320kbps is... not high, for video.
gollark: The ffmpeg documentation suggests "two-pass mode": https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VP9
gollark: I don't think any existing codecs are going to get you very good quality with video at 320kbps.
