> Transcode to an H.264 access file

You use "access" several times but I don't know what you mean by it. I'm going to guess that is some non-english usage slipping in. Nothing else to complain about at this time. [EDIT] I should say "is used" and "they mean" because I don't know if the author is also the poster.

I think it might just be autocorrect translating "AAC" into "access".

'Access' copies are versions of originals intended for viewing, in contrast to the original ('preservation') video which may be impractically large to use, or in an unusual format.

(At least that is how the term is used by collections librarians. Even there terminology may vary)

This is a great idea! Trying to get FFmpeg to do what I want it to do is always daunting. ChatGPT has been helpful, but not perfect. Thanks for this :)

ChatGPT totally made ffmpeg very accessible to me. I think minor issues I have is intricacies between different operation systems.
