I have SO been there, Jessica.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
What is the size of the file in megabytes? What length of time is it?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That would only bump it up by the audio bitrate, which is 128kbps.
Oops.

Me too. I swear this fucking thing happens to me at least once a month.
Usually I find I have to change up my search terms to get the solution I need.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, we figured out that QT10.1 is calculating total bitrate (bits/seconds) instead of average bitrate, which takes into account interframe compression. Still no idea why, except that Apple has abandoned professional video.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Yup. It needs a "Well, you do realize, that product was not developed for the purpose you are using it for, so we can not support the problem you are experiencing" from tech support, and it'd wrap up my tech support life perfectly.

I'm always doing this. "Well it says in your specification that it can do all of these things, and that this is the technical limit." The response, "We actually didn't expect someone to try to make it do all of those things AT ONCE!" My retort, "Well, I guess it isn't out of beta yet then, is it? Get back to work!"
