I’ve done it with ffmpeg before - I think the command’s on the Arch wiki. I preserved subtitles as well. I overall remember it being pretty reasonable since I didn’t set it up to re-encode, just pass through original video.

I've been enjoying my Thinkpad E16 1st gen AMD on Debian 12. You do have to run a newer kernel to get it working. I ran into a bit of Wi-Fi trouble because I accidentally got a Realtek model, but I've long since fixed the issue entirely - I've posted the solution elsewhere here.
On another note, maybe we should just have a yearly hardware recommendations post pinned on this forum - it feels like we get a question like this every week or so and they sort of clutter the forum, no offense intended to OP.
Edit: Here's my Linux Hardware probe from when I first got the laptop https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=1e50fb1862
You’ve got quite a bit - it’s in TNG S4, so you’ve still got all of TAS (if you choose. If you’re thinking about skipping, at least watch Yesteryear), the first few movies, and the first three seasons and six episodes of TNG to go before you hit this glorious staple who will last through DS9.
Borg Backup, whenever I feel like it - usually monthly.
On an unrelated note:
Why do you have Teddy Ruxpin as your desktop background, and more importantly, why do I feel such reverence for it as a very non-stereotypical background for a Linux user?
I use Debian with XFCE, but while I love XFCE, it might not be everyone’s thing. If you do give it a try, make sure to use Whisker Menu instead of the default app menu, and also set keyboard mappings to your liking.
P.S: Ubuntu’s pushing for Snaps, not Flatpaks. Flatpaks are actually pretty good - makes it really easy to install a newer software version when the one in Debian repos doesn’t suffice.
Also, it’s not only Ubuntu pushing for Wayland - most distros or DEs either have it working or are working towards it (there are some exceptions). XFCE is still on xorg, but working on Wayland. The problem is xorg is on life support and not getting a lot of new features.
As long as it’s in Debian, I’ll use it.
Honestly, I’m tempted to move This Might Be Lemmy from lemmy.sorld, considering federation issues, if it would be allowed.
I've had a very good experience with a similarly-speced AMD E16 gen 1.
The only issue I'd warn you about is the Wi-Fi modem might be a Realtek on some models. Mine came with one, and while on recent kernels, it mostly worked well out of the box, it had one issue: something went weird with ACPI when I switched between certain networks, which caused the card to crash and completely disconnect to the system unless I rebooted. I was able to find a fix by changing some options with modprobe.d, which I detail here: https://startrek.website/post/14342770 . Since that, it's been an extremely smooth experience.
Same. I love my E16 Gen 1.
Actually, Mirror Chakotay was depicted in Prodigy (along with mirror Janeway). He likes to torture people like any good Terrain boi.
Excuse me. “Boss of Me” is early 2000’s music, thank you very much. 😑😂
For battery life, I’d recommend you install CoreCtrl so you can adjust your power settings. That, combined with a few other things (I think the Arch Wiki covers most of them) allows me to get quite a lot out of my Thinkpad in Debian.

Why does that lock oddly like the iOS 10 default background?
I like OpenStreetMaps's solution. (Though you'll have to dig a little - they don't show names for large bodies of water like that by default.)
I do admit that while I found the plot ridiculous, I did find the character's story interesting. It's hard to go wrong with holodeck episodes, honestly.
I though of an interesting story based on that where from childhood, someone accidentally lives an entire simulated life based on the real world 20-40 years in the past and becomes a Starfleet officer in the simulation (down to a fake 4 years at the Academy, maybe with holo Boothby). The holodeck then gets shut off by real Starfleet officers. Besides the obvious emotional story, it would also be interesting if the simulation was accurate enough that the person's experience made the captain decide to make them a provisional officer at the end of the episode.
I've had a good time with my Thinkpad E16 Gen 1 over the past few months (definitely lower spec than your machine - pretty much all of them have only an iGPU). A lot of them are still upgradable - I upgraded mine from 8GB of RAM to 24GB, and the thing had dual drive bays, so I just left the stock 256GB Windows drive and put in a 2TB alongside it for Linux stuff.
As long as you have a recent kernel, hardware support is decent, so long as you avoid the models with Realtek (my E16 does have Realtek, but I managed to smooth out issues).
I would agree season 3 is a great season.
I agree that the species was doomed, but I still feel like repeating a grief story was a bit insane.
I feel like the marketing for Artificial Idiocy comes down to three words: "Resistance is futile."
As put aptly by one text (which I have yet to read): "When you trick somebody into participating in a small-time fraud, it's called a 'scam'. But when the scam is so big that people have no choice but to participate, it's called 'economics.'"
Man, I swear in DS9:"Bar Association" that Rom had the 2016 DC Flintstones comic pulled up on his PADD while doing research.
P.S Like the person in the video, I too use Linux.
BTW usually the graphics glitches weren't immediate, but would come after waking it from sleep a few times.
If I had a slip of latinum for every time a DS9 character went to an alien afterlife...
