Which do you choose and why

C
Send file as is without any re-encoding during or before hand.
Seriously what the fuck are you doing.
Why save the original if you're re-encoding?

"Phone" was listed as a possibility, could also be a friend's place outside of your local network, a hotel room, etc.

An old prebuilt Dell CPU from ~7 years ago can barely manage it, so it shouldn't be too bad for anything close to modern
>>53891345
you could always get some huge blu-ray ISOs and re-encode
>>53891385
You're going to set up a transcoding server just so you can stream low-quality re-encodes on hotel wifi?

Hey our LAN's aren't that bad, it's just our internet infrastructure that's terrible.

My family uses a lot of internet bandwidth at once so any gain I can use when just streaming to my laptop in the house is better
Besides, VP9 is higher quality than VP8 at smaller filesizes, the only downside being the slow encode speed which is offset by encoding in advance

nigga you say that like he didn't already say "phone". Phone means literally anywhere with service.

How can they even?
