Yesterday I blogged about jumping off the Atomium. In that post, I included a video for you to see, using the relatively new WebM video standard. It took me five hours of piss-farting around to get that video on there.

To save myself some frustration in the future, I thought I'd take some (more) time to note down the eventual combination used to re-encode the video. Maybe it will be useful to you too.

The Atomium, once a temporary structure left over from the Expo 58 World's Fair and now a Belgian landmark. Standing at ≅100-metres tall, its height is as imposing as its shininess, especially following the recent renovation.

Today I jumped off the thing.
