T47389 task is about preventing UploadWizard from uploading video binary as an JPG image, which would be a bug if it worked. This task is about figuring out how to seamlessly upload videos hosted on flickr to Commons. That would require doing conversion from MP4 format they are stored on flickr to one of the formats allowed on Commons.

MarkTraceur moved this task from Untriaged to Desired epics on the Multimedia board.

At least that video is stored in MP4 (and downloading it gives me an MP4), so we may also need to blacklist Flickr videos on that basis, unless they store multiple file types for each video, like archive.org.
