A simpler, dumber version: extract one frame every 10 seconds:
We all know Young Sheldon is a show about a 9-year-old prodigy navigating the humidity of East Texas and the social chaos of a family that doesn't quite "get" him. But have you ever stopped to ask: What would Sheldon Cooper think of FFmpeg? young sheldon s01e09 ffmpeg
Today, we’re taking S01E09 ( "A Party, a Cranky Scientist, and a Scientist and a Crank"? Wait, that’s not right—let’s just call it ) and running it through the Swiss Army chainsaw of video processing: FFmpeg . Why This Episode? S01E09 is a classic: Sheldon tries to use logic to get out of a birthday party, Meemaw provides sarcastic wisdom, and George Sr. just wants to watch football.

That means if George wants to watch the game on his tablet while Mary watches church sermons on the laptop, someone’s getting transcoded.
“The bitrate averages 4.5 Mbps. Adequate for a sitcom, but hardly optimal for analyzing the subtle micro-expressions of Missy’s eye-rolls.” Step 2: Removing the Laughter (Because Sheldon Would) There’s no laugh track in Young Sheldon (thankfully), but what if there were?
