Since I’ve moved content to Cloudflare - decided to add some music videos to WindyTown

Was a little tricky getting the options correct - balancing bandwidth against video and audio quality… extra little check boxes and settings

Finally get it dialed - in the compromise - and started encoding…

The Encoding Seconds - take forever!!!? LOL 🙂

It’s like watching a microwave countdown… times 30…

Constantly waiting…

One would think that in 2026 - one could send full 4K video with uncompressed audio - but then you’d leave out mobile and video is too big…
