Archive.org does store two versions because one is the original upload while the second video file will be the re-encoded version for streaming. E.g. if you upload a mkv (h264), Archive.org still will create another mp4 of it.
Anyways, great to see an upgrade for this.
It was probably you then. Thanks for steering me there!
Both versions of the file are exactly the same size, to the last byte. The specs are identical. So I just picked one. Yeah, it's unusual for the archive.org version to be of very high quality. I haven't found another example where it's the best source for something.
you are correct that they are the same size but if you ever want to use archive.org you should know that archive.org changes uploaded video to be able to play in browser.
you can find out which file is the original file is by opening the
https://archive.org/download/fulaninha- ... _files.xml
and seeing that is says:
Code: Select all
<file name="Fulaninha (1986).ia.mp4" source="[b]derivative[/b]">
<format>h.264 IA</format>
<original>Fulaninha (1986).mp4</original>

</file>
from archive.org blog:
"You can view information about every file in this directory by viewing the file ending in _files.xml (in this example, popeye_taxi-turvey_files.xml). Each file in the item is listed here, along with whether the source is “original” (uploaded by the user), “derivative” (derived by archive.org), or “metadata” file. You will also find a format designation, various checksums, and sometimes titles for the files."
in this case I think the video was not re-enocded but in other uploads like here:
https://archive.org/download/crime-delicado-2005
you can see that the two video files are
Code: Select all
Crime Delicado (2005).mkv
Crime Delicado (2005).mp4
and you can see in the xml file that the mkv is the original upload.
