Hey, I don't want to get pummeled with downvotes, but I have a cheezy 5.1 surround test video that is really LOUD when played locally but when I upload it to YouTube, it gets really quiet. The spatial audio still works from YouTube but the loudness is really low.

Yeah, the issue appears to be YouTube. When I run the M2TS file through my Sony BluRay/Smart player, the volume is loud!!! YouTube appears to be throttling my loudness because I'm a "little guy" with no $$$$....

Now Wikimedia won't let me upload the M2TS and requires WebM, but if I'm not careful and try to convert to WebM the 5.1 will drop out in the conversion. They provide a tool to do the conversion, but since I'm a new user, I'm not allowed to use it... Hopefully, I won't mess something up with FFMpeg...

Arrrgh!!! Downgraded to standard DEV *.MPG and 5.1 is still okay but now Wikimedia is griping about EXIF Metadata:
"EXIF metadata in this file may contain location or other personal data automatically added by your camera. Learn more about how to edit or remove EXIF metadata."

I seriously don't care if people know where I live... Not a useful error message. Makes me think about self hosting, but 200MB is pretty big.
