What you NEED to Know Before Touching a Video File

Hanging out in subtitling and video re-editing communities, I see my fair share of novice video editors and video encoders, and see plenty of them make the classic beginner mistakes when it comes to working with videos. A man can only read "Use Handbrake to convert your mkv to an mp4 :)" so many times before losing it, so I am writing this article to channel the resulting psychic damage into something productive.

If you are new to working with videos (or, let's face it, even if you aren't), please read through this guide to avoid making mistakes that can cost you lots of computing power, storage space, or video quality.

Important Note!

Doing this requires running a script inside Discord, historically Discord has allowed these perfectly fine but it was for advanced people only and Discod discovered non-advanced users were copying and pasting random scripts people gave them which ended up being malicious and harmful to their account.

Discord has since blocked access to scripts unless you enable a hidden setting. The script below is open source and commented. Anyone is welcome to verify the legitimacy of it. It's very simple in how it works. However if you proceed further and enable custom scripts, I highly reccomend to disable it afterwards unless you know what you are doing. There's a reason Discord disabled this feature, don't even run scripts without knowing what they do first.
