   I'm not gonna post the video here (you can check my tumblr for that: https://www.tumblr.com/foone/767254814304419840 ) but for reference, here's what I did to Armageddon (1998):

   This was heavily compressed and resized down to 48x20 or something, then resized back up to 1080p and had the subtitles burnt in. The subtitles are from a different movie (1996's Space Truckers) and are in both 1. Danish and, 2. Comic Sans.

     The audio was downmixed to mono, resampled to 2000hz, pitch-shifted down a couple octives, then pitch shifted back up, then had aggressive dynamics normalization applied. Backwards, so the louds became louder.

     It sounds suspiciously similar to what would happen if you dropped a mostly waterproof Bluetooth speaker into a bathtub

     Now my roommate (who commissioned this project) is asking for a version of the movie that fits on a floppy disk.
     Keep in mind that I started from a Blu-ray rip

     so I need to get down to 76kbit/s to encode this whole movie. that's not a good compression rate for a mp3 file, I'm doing a whole MOVIE.

     it's surprisingly watchable at 1.9mb. No audio, though

     it turns out all these fancypancy java video uploders don't like it when you try to give them a video that's over a minute long but only 65k

     @foone What codecs did you end up using? FFmpeg supports some wild ones like A64 multicolor for C64 video.

     Here's the hotlinked version on tumblr, to avoid wasting mastodon bandwidth with stupid:

     @foone What did the pitch shifting down and back up change?

     I assume it was lossy conversion, and you were looking for a lossy effect, but "lossy" how?

     @cr1901 I figured It'd at least screw it up somehow, as pitch shifting without time stretching often introduces artifacts

     @foone Could you share the original AV1 clip on https://0x0.st/?

     The link gets me a 2.0 MB GIF file with only 104 frames.

     @fontenot I'm not sharing the whole thing, sorry. That's just supposed to be a clip to demonstrate the quality
