gollark: Actually, I could do it once on the short video and concat it 2770 times, that might work.
gollark: Good* reasons. And I'm aware of better codecs, but actually reencoding it would burn my CPU.
gollark: Anyone know about video file meddling? I want to upload a 10 hour loop of a 13 second video to YouTube, but just concatenating it 2770 times with `ffmpeg` produced a 3GB file before I ran out of /tmp space, so can I just edit the headers somehow to make stuff *play* it as if it's 10 hours?
gollark: It's a shame the only disc-playing things I have around are a DVD drive I might possibly maybe need eventually and an old CD player.
