>Video is really fiddly.

But it's really not! Not for "Tweak a few of the default knobs for your use case".

It takes five minutes to play around with whatever FFMPEG gui front end (like even OBS) to get some intuition about those knobs.

Like, people stream coding all the time with OBS itself.

Every twitch streamer and Youtube creator figured out video encoding options, why couldn't they?

They are using a copy of a game streaming code base for this, which is entirely the opposite set of optimizations they should have sought out.

Like, this is rank incompetence. Your average influencer knows more about video encoding than these people. So much for LLMs helping people learn!
