Do you have live/motion photos? Those have an embedded video that gets transcoded as well

#

i don't know what that is

#

isn't a motion picture a video

#

I feel old and out of touch 😦

It's a feature on recent phones where it saves like a 1 second video inside photos

#

A bit like a gif I guess?

#

I don't quite get the point myself, but it's a thing 😅

#

it looks like i have multiple ffmpeg processes for 1 video. i am guessing that is just multithreading doing its job

#

although i haven't seen that when doing normal encoding

#

i wonder if it is counting each file 3-4 times
