I made videostore codec with multiple chat bots, mainly Gemini, without paying a single penny. No one should be paying for chat bots.

Third time's the charm. See replies for the script itself.

VideoStore Codec: convert files to embeddable video sequences and back

Encoding requirements: zint, ffmpeg, optionally par2 for error correction

Decoding requirements: ZXingReader, ffmpeg, optionally par2

Details:

This script makes a video sequence of data matrix codes out of any smallish files (test payload was about 1.5MB).

While doing this, it also makes 2 QR codes containing the extractor and reassembler scripts needed to decode files back out of the video.

The standard data matrix outputs are small enough to fit in the corner of a video, so you can then put these files inside any bigger video. Then, if you have a download link that ever goes down, it doesn't matter as long as the video is still up - the files are IN the video, along with the 2 scripts needed for decoding.

There's also enough error correction to handle reasonable amounts of video compression + dropped frames (don't push it though).
