I took one look at a MS-DOS clone, returned it after only using my C=64. I ran CP/M on a C=128 as well as the the native OS and GUI that had been devised for Apple originally.

Because some file formats (e.g. MPEG-4) do not work if you simply concatenate files. If you want a container that can be (more) easily split apart and joined, and can even start playing before it has completely downloaded, try .ts (“transport stream”) format.

Is it a more raw > format like .wav? It's another MPEG container. I think one use of this is DVB (so, "digital television"). Just like there is a different MPEG container used in DVD-Video. My question here would be how flexible it is regarding what can be in the container. From what I remember of DVD-Video, these containers aren't that limited, you just need to stick to some criteria if you want compatibility with a specific kind of player (say, DVD-Video, where IIRC the video stream has to be encoded using MPEG-2, and should have one of a few frame sizes, likewise subtitles probably need to be in the bitmap format, even if MPEG can carry other subtitle formats (I think DVB also defines a textual format for subtitles?)). -- Nuno Silva

It meant they didn’t have to worry about fonts or different writing systems. All the subtitle text was prerendered at authoring time.

All the subtitle text was prerendered at authoring time. And they could probably do stuff like color it for different characters (tho I don't remember seeing anything like that back in the day) -- user <candycane> is generated from /dev/urandom

Well yeah, otherwise I'd just use Cat. Anyway thankfully I don't have to do it often. Last time was to set up a scripted process for someone to get video 'scenes' off their camera as one continuous video, then they never used it and changed their mind about learning to use a video editor program, which they'd adamantly refused to do when I suggested it in the first place.

Remember to use “-c copy” to avoid reencoding any of the data (with consequent quality loss). That way it just gets repacked into the new file, which is also a lot faster.

Varies but probably less, tmux, zsh and some minimal vi for editor are the bare minimum. In fact, even back when I had a router with just 8 MB flash for all storage, those four went in. Well, screen instead of tmux back then. Uncomfortable to think people make do with awful Busybox. X server or client stuff is by no means required since some of my machines are headless. Might be some throwaway virtual machine too for something or other. Usually also: - Emacs if there's more editing or note taking to do and/or I get around to it as then I'll want to pull my shared Emacs config somehow and that means some sync setup or at least git. - These days, bat for a file viewer or vim, same reason, color support for easier reading of various files in the terminal. - I usually eventually will need wget and then likely unzip and possibly some other uncompression tools may follow. - bup for backups if needed.
