I have an album thats a bit more than 200MB, converted to just an audio only M4a or MP4 its still under 80MB
Is that 120+MB all chaff or is there another way to prevent losing all muh damn wheat
CONSTRAINT/NON-CONSTRAINTS
FILE SIZE DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL TO ME. JUST TO BE CLEAR
MUST BE AN MP4 “video” file. I get that MP4 is a container or whatever but that is a hard constraint—Please respect that
M4A/AAC are not acceptable. It must be within the container that is MP4, non-negotiable


Im keeping all the source files intact and archived safely, theres no worry on that point. This is all just experimenting on copies without touching the original files
I just want to test or see if there is a way to preserve losseless in an inherently lossy but necessary spec
