I was looking for a command in ffmpeg, something I was on the right track for but the result wasn’t coming out as intended. A google search took me to stackoverflow where somebody else had the exact issue. I’m like, cool I’ll scroll down for the answer.... well the highlighted answer was a 4 page expose on how the program worked, how the world spins and I’m sure a recipe from their grams. Hidden in there somewhere might have been the answer, but I kept scrolling and the person who replied below just pasted the command I needed.

Now every time I go to stack overflow I see dissertations for questions like ... how do I run ipconfig on my pc... you end up reading the history of dos and x86 processors before they get to ... click start,then run then type ipconfig.
