Extreme filesize increase

Question

Extreme filesize increase

Lightningblade opened this issue 2 years ago · 3 comments

I used ffmpeg-normalize to normalize a movie, which originally was 1,38 GB. The normalized version is 14,2 GB.
Why does it re-encode the video instead of just replacing the audio track?

The video is not being reencoded. The audio is output as PCM uncompressed by default.

Please refer to the README, and choose an audio encoder that you want to use for the output.

Next time posting, please do not delete the issue template.

Sorry, it didn't occur to me that audio could ever fill that much.

I just commented again to say, there is no issue template when choosing question/support.
