What kind of metadata are you talking about?

ffmpeg -map_metadata -1

wow that was hard

Are you retared or just nigger?

>What kind of metadata are you talking about?

-Writing application

-Writing library

-Encoding settings

-Encoded date

-Tagged date

>>1023897

>ffmpeg -map_metadata -1

>wow that was hard

this shit doesn't work. maybe it removes some metadata, but keeps other

also this shit re-encoded my video

>implying open source ever respected user privacy

just look at Chrome or Sorosfox

or Ubuntu

>>1023897

this still keeps the encoder and version metadata in the file

>>1024124

>re-encoded my video

next time, do -vcodec copy -acodec copy or RTFM.

>>1024130

>next time, do -vcodec copy -acodec copy or RTFM.

why isn't that default option? if I didn't specify codec it should just copy, not choose random codec with random settings

Breaking news: at least some metadata is required to actually decode and play the file you fucking autist

Show me where in the x264 code I can find the CIA routine which fingerprints the video. You made the claim, so I'm sure you can prove it.

>>1024204

You must have missed the part where we are talking about free software.

Use two machines with an equivalent architecture (or virtual machines). Encode your video with the same settings. Is there any difference in the binaries? What about after stripping meta data? If not, they're not finger printing with machine specific fingerprinting.

>>1024126

Have you ever looked at ffmpeg documentation or typed "ffmpeg no metadata" in the search bar? I can't believe niggers like you actually exist.

Write your own!

I bought a $160 on making MP3 and MP4 from scratch a few years ago, its now out of print, its so complicated I haven't even opened it in months. So if you really think its a problem then make it for yourself.

Isn't this the year all the patents are ended for MP3? And MP4?

you C fuckers should go hang yourself

>>1024201

>Breaking news: at least some metadata is required to actually decode and play the file you fucking autist

no

this is not needed to decode video:

-Writing application

-Writing library

-Encoding settings

-Encoded date

-Tagged date

but this spyware keeps putting the data into video

>>1024202

>Show me where in the x264 code I can find the CIA routine which fingerprints the video.

I don't give a fuck where. Just run it and open the video that it produces. fingerprint is inside video

>>1024207

>Use two machines with an equivalent architecture (or virtual machines). Encode your video with the same settings. Is there any difference in the binaries? What about after stripping meta data? If not, they're not finger printing with machine specific fingerprinting.

it doesn't have to be machine specific. even "Writing application", "Writing library", "Encoding settings" is enough to track and fingerprint you, because you might be the only person (or one of few) that uses a specific combination of those values

a privacy respecting application shouldn't put any metadata and fingerprint that is not necessary. x264/ffmpeg is not privacy respecting, it's jewish open source botnet

>>1024224

>Have you ever looked at ffmpeg documentation or typed "ffmpeg no metadata" in the search bar? I can't believe niggers like you actually exist.

yes nigger, there is no way to produce video without metadata

>>1024234

it's the job of open source niggers to produce it.

>>1024275

hey dumbass, it's free and open source software, just write your own, faggot. remove the bloat you don't want, recompile. problem solved.

>>1024518

What kind of videos are you making that you're so concerned about the CIA tracking you down from the metadata tbh

If you had truly sensitive data that was actually worth protecting from glow niggers you would write it down on paper milled without any electricity using charcoal produced from burning wood.

>>1024580

If you want to go full paranoid, that's not even enough. They can read your thoughts. Every single thing you do, you are only able to do, because you are allowed to, by them.

>>1024124

>Encoding settings

literally needed for anything to read it.

>>1024134

>why isn't that default option

Because it's a multimedia transcoder meant to do encoding work and your ouput container might not even be capable or allowed to hold the codec your source uses.

Example for not allowed: Webm

Example for not possible: Opus or Vorbis or any other video encoding than h26(x<=4) inside of a MP4 container.

>>1024662

>Encoding settings

>literally needed for anything to read it.

incorrect. Encoding settings string contains much more info that could be read from the way you need to decode this video

>understand the structure of the video container formats

>write program that clears the data

It's that simple. Even cuckchan managed to do it. You can't do this because you're a luser who knows nothing and does nothing except whine about jews and CIA.

do you produce child videos?

UNIX is a botnet

>>1024234

what book?

how to make a video without metadata?

or how to remove metadata after making video?

>>1028129

>Frame size, I-frame, b-frame, displacement is all metadata that define how the picture should be reconstructed

<want to remove that

Just encrypt your video with a 8k key and throw the key away.

>>1024124

>-Writing application

>-Writing library

>-Encoding settings

these are not unique

just use relatively common settings and not use exotic encoders

>-Encoded date

>-Tagged date

Ez to remove or to not write them in the first place, read the fucking ffmpeg manuals

>>1024124

>also this shit re-encoded my video

because u dumb gay

>>1028143

>Frame size, I-frame, b-frame, displacement is all metadata that define how the picture should be reconstructed

>want to remove that

OP didn't say anything about removing metadata that is necessary to decode a video

>>1028232

>these are not unique

they don't have to be fully unique to be usable by them

>just use relatively common settings and not use exotic encoders

where are the statistics of most commonly used settings and encoders?

>>1030435

>OP didn't say anything about removing metadata that is necessary to decode a video

OP did not even know such metadata exists

>>1023885 (OP)

Is this how low the IQ of a typical /tech/ poster?

Use a hex editor and overwrite any offending bits.
