So I've done the above, and generated a low-res version of one talk as a
test, which you can find at
<https://veyepar.debian.org/static/veyepar/debian/debconf16/webm/The_Electronic_Struggle.webm>
The resolution was forced to 360x288, which is half the resolution (in
both directions, so a quarter of) pal-DV at 720x576. The resulting file
is 155M in size, versus 527MB of the full-quality version.
Before I start to do low-res encodes of all the talks, I would welcome
some comments. If there's a possible improvement to be made, now's the
time to speak up.
(VP9 is not a possibility, since the libvpx in stable doesn't support it
yet...)
