Earlier this morning I did some work with the OBS application to record my efforts to mess around with the OpenAI Codex Beta. For the most part I have been working in the Codex JavaScript Sandbox asking the API to return things related to fractals and a bit of searching out some encryption related elements. The lossless video that was recorded produced about 30 gigabytes of AVI video file for five minutes of recording. That is an epic amount of data for such a short video. I’m still not entirely sure why the massive difference exists between indistinguishable quality and lossless. It really is about a 10x difference in file size between the two recording methods. Uploading that 5 minute video to YouTube took about 2 hours and the crunching that is about to happen in the background over on the YouTube side of the house will be epic. I’m going to record a few more little videos this weekend and it’s going to generate a huge amount of video data.
