More deeply, FFmpeg’s most powerful feature is its ability to —to change the container without altering the content. A ghost trapped in a “body” (container) of one century can, theoretically, be remuxed into a modern container. In S02E17, the characters confront the limits of this: Pete, the scoutmaster, is permanently contained in his 1980s khaki shorts. No -map 0 command can extract his personality from that uniform.
