Since embedding large videos can be problematic on the Fediverse, I was thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to liberate certain vids from the Evil Empire where there’s no good YT link.

Unfortunately, Reddit does separate its video & audio, which would break some vids, but not so much this one, since it’s just continuous rain in this case: https://v.redd.it/etticvkp7w6h1/CMAF_AUDIO_128.mp4

Actually Youtube does have this short, which adds context:

Right, thanks in advance for any feedback upon whether this works and/or is a good idea for future posts…

    Video shows, no audio which I think was on purpose.

    Also, this reminds me of being in the backseat with my younger sister, just pokingbher trying to get her to over react so mom and dad got mad at her not me.

      Yup, I’m pretty sure they deliberately separate the A&V in order to help prevent direct-linking. Indeed, I had to go in to the dev-style browser tools just to extract those files.

      That said, I’m not sure there’s currently a way to extract the combined A&V files directly as a hot-link. Now if it’s for your personal use, you can soitenly* save them to your device with tools like this:
