Wonderful. I use it to run a Drag'n'Drop .bat script (created in chatGPT4) to convert any video format/codec to streaming FROM Telegram format without needing to download it from Telegram first. Copy below text to a .txt file on your desktop on PC only and rename the extension to .bat , then Drag'n'Drop your video onto it and it will convert automatically leaving the streaming version in the same folder as the original. Easier than Handbrake tool:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

:: Drag-and-drop batch script for FFmpeg
:: Converts any video to Telegram-ready .mp4

if "%~1"=="" (
echo Drag and drop a video file onto this script to convert it.
pause
exit /b
)

set "input=%~1"
set "name=%~n1"
set "ext=%~x1"
set "dir=%~dp1"
set "output=%dir%%name%_telegram.mp4"

echo Converting "%input%" to "%output%"...
ffmpeg -i "%input%" -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 23 -c:a aac -b:a 128k -movflags +faststart "%output%"
echo Done!
pause

Worked flawlessly on some hi def files I was backing up to my PC from my cell phone. Yep, I know I was still running on Win 10 but not able to afford a new Win 11 PC just yet and this helped out greatly.
Thanks guys. Eternally grateful as some of the pics were from when my kids were younger and also priceless.

Thought it was going to be a scam.
Expected a lot of garbage programs to install along with the codec.
No such thing. A clean install from what I can tell and worked wonderfully.
Thank you for the Download.

Had a couple of AVI files that I had captured some years ago and they would not open in my video editor but would open in MPC-HC x64. Compared them with a couple of AVI files that would open in my video editor and discovered the troublesome files were MJPEG while the newer files were DV.

Internet search found me this codec and it works like a charm after changing the AVI extension to MJPEG.and including MJPEG in the search filter in the video editor.

MANY, MANY THANKS!

@anon123456
only because HW support is lacking. With proper HW decoding it would be the same. It was the same story with h.265…

Are you by any chance a member of h.265 aliance?

Even with my lack of techy knowledge it worked, I can now see all my HEIC photos. Had been suspicious of RG Adguard but there's a message on the microsoft forum that appears to confirm the files are from their servers.
Excellent
