Looks fine to me. I would have cut the music out. Wastes 10MB
out of the 26MB total, and adds nothing to content.

Thanks Shadow for that advice to cut the obnoxious free music.

In all honesty, I couldn't get Shotcut to cut the original audio track out,


ffmpeg -i wifi.mp4 -c:v copy -an wifimute.mp4

and a one, and a two, and ... it's done.
2.5 seconds on my aging computer ....
(keep a backup of the original in case you get a command
wrong).
You probably want a static build. Put the contents of /bin
somewhere in your path. Or just unpack the binaries to the folder you
are working in. You will need a command prompt.
I have no idea how restrictive win7 and 10 are if you are not
admin (I use XP) so ask someone that knows.

FFMPEG is pretty easy-going. It's portable. You can put it
practically anywhere. (C:\FFMPEG\bin works for me...)

The fun part, is crafting command line invocations for it.
Every time I use FFMPEG, I write down the command I used
and keep it in my notes file. You'd be surprised how many
times you refer to those notes later. If it takes you
three hours to figure out what command to use, writing
it down is a small additional price to pay.

Right now, Zeranoe has both "nightly" builds and Release builds.
I tested a "nightly" a couple months ago, and it was broken.
Even though statically linked (in the static package), it was
missing DLL files. The "Release" version on the other hand,
was fine. A few years back, I could grab a nightly and
expect it to work. The developers seem to be adding stuff
to FFMPEG that's dragging in more DLLs for some reason.
And the nightly build hasn't been modified to handle
whatever they've done. This could get fixed at any time
of course, and I'm only including the warning so a person
with limited downloads, doesn't waste their time on the
nightly as their first choice.
