| Scenario | Recommended Action |
|----------|--------------------|
| You just want to watch it | Open with any modern player: VLC, MPV, Windows Media Player, QuickTime, or your web browser (drag‑&‑drop). |
| You need to edit or trim it | Use a lossless cutter (e.g., Avidemux, LosslessCut) or a full‑featured editor (DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, Shotcut). |
| You need a smaller file | Re‑encode with FFmpeg: ffmpeg -i JUQ-516.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset fast -c:a aac -b:a 128k JUQ-516_720p.mp4 |
| You need to extract audio | ffmpeg -i JUQ-516.mp4 -vn -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 2 JUQ-516.mp3 |
| You need subtitles | If the file contains embedded subtitles, extract with: ffmpeg -i JUQ-516.mp4 -c:s srt JUQ-516.srt |
| You need to archive or backup | Verify integrity first: ffmpeg -v error -i JUQ-516.mp4 -f null - (no output = good). Then copy to a redundant storage (e.g., two external drives + cloud). |
| You suspect it’s corrupted | Run ffmpeg -v error -i JUQ-516.mp4 -f null - to see errors, then try recovery: ffmpeg -i JUQ-516.mp4 -c copy -fflags +genpts recovered.mp4 |
| You need to rename for a catalog | Follow a consistent schema, e.g., <Project>_<Episode>_<Resolution>.mp4. Example: Promo_JUQ516_1080p.mp4. |
