Change Details

When a //flac// file is uploaded to Commons, it [[https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FTimedMediaHandler/master/WebVideoTranscode%2FWebVideoTranscode.php#L370 | gets transcoded]] to //ogg// for playback at nearly lowest possible quality with the ##-q 1## ffmpeg option. From [[https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/TheoraVorbisEncodingGuide | ffmpeg wiki]]: > ##-qscale:a## – audio quality. Range is 0–10, where 10 is highest quality. 3–6 is a good range to try. Default is ##-qscale:a 3## Oggenc's default is also ##3## and is a good compromise between quality and size. The current setting produces files at ~70 kbps which is unacceptably low especially for classical music recordings.
