Guess my s**t has got a virus if your theory is right. Downloaded this file so quick. Worth it. That ass in motion is insane
Have you had or heard of any experience like that happening on here?
Hanlonâs razor.
First off, the 243 MiB file is 3:38 (218 seconds) in length while the 2.16 GiB video shared is 8:25 (505 seconds)
This doesnât factor into the file size as much as the bitrate the video was encoded with. Looking at metadata the longer video was encoded at a total bitrate of 36832kbps which divided by 8 gives us 4604 kilobytes per second. 4604 * 505 seconds on the longer one is 2325020 KB total which / 100,000 (KB to GB conversion) gives us 2.32502 GB. Converting GB to GiB (multiply by ~0.931) yields ~2.16 GiB, which is what Iâm seeing on Windows and checks out.
The size of a file would have almost nothing to do with a virus anyways, that would required you to run malicious code which would need to be done in probably 1 of 2 ways,
-
youâre dumb enough to run an executable disguised as a video file by someone maliciously putting a different file type at the end of the file name (like a .exe)
-
someone found a zero day software exploit in a certain video decoder and manipulated video data in a way to exploit this, which I doubt anyone on a candid forum is going to take the time out of their day to do, even if by some miracle they figured one of those out LOL
