Possible Approaches

Conclusion

• Video codec: commonly H.264 (AVC) or H.265 (HEVC). These balance compression and quality.
• Audio codec: commonly AAC in MP4 containers.
• Container features: supports subtitles, multiple audio tracks, metadata (creation date, camera make/model, GPS if present), and chapter markers.
• Resolution and frame rate: could be SD, HD (720p/1080p), 4K, and common frame rates 24/25/30/60 fps.
• Bitrate: variable (VBR) or constant; affects quality and file size.

• Inspect metadata (MediaInfo/ffprobe).
• Compute and record checksum.
• Make a copy and label it as master.
• Use VLC/mpv for playback; transcode if needed for editing.
• Apply non-destructive edits; store edits as new files.
• Strip sensitive metadata before sharing.
• Archive with redundancy and documented provenance.
