I hope there is and we will suggest some ways to do it (and do automated
ffmpeg standardisation ourselves).

I'll be surprised if they make it onto youtube any time soon - last time
it took months due to the low upload limits youtube chose to impose on
us.  (We used to have a large upload limit previously but they removed
it presumably because we only do large uploads once a year, and all our
attempts to obtain reinstatement fell on deaf ears.)
