[FFmpeg-user] can I compress a video and remove the audio with a single command?

[Bouke / Videotoolshed]

Besides DO NOT top post (like I am doing now)
You need to be more specific.
WHAT PLAYER cannot play the file?
Did you try VLC?  What other players?
How big is the output?

This besides others stating ‘full output’.
