Hello, I'm a teacher and I really like using this tool, helps a lot with the editing. I'm just curious on how this handles compression. As from what I've seen, My 300mb OBS mkv videos will turn into 75mb with only 20% detected as silence. I'm assuming it's because of the compression and sometimes transcoding it (while keeping the same container, in this case MKV).
What's exactly being lost here? Is it mainly audio quality? both video and audio? bitrate? And is there a way for me to keep the quality the same on the exported file?
I'm not familiar with ffmpeg too so I also want to ask if you've done any benchmarks regarding the performance between file formats etc.
Is keeping the file format i.e., MKV to MKV slower or faster than using other formats?
Also one last thing, when I export this to MP4, the codecs that comes with that has some problems with Davinci Resolve (sometimes audio is lost entirely, or the audio gets a bigger delay on later parts of the video). So my workaround is to use this on the raw clips, MKV to MKV, then use Handbrake to transcode it to MP4 with more compatible codecs.
Is there a better way for me to tell Silence-Speedup to simply use specific codecs instead of the default ones so that I don't have to transcode it twice? I'm not used to using command-line interfaces but I'm willing to learn if I need to.
Again, thanks very much for this tool! 😊
