Original – Frank Capra's Prelude to War, the first film in his Why We Fight series (link)

Reason: Full-length film in the public domain, highly notable. Resolution is on the low side, but that's in part because of limitations of Wikimedia software

Oppose - This upload is Ogg Theora at 400x300. The archive.org original is 720x480 in a non-free format. The original should be transcoded to WebM keeping it at the same resolution, Wikimedia Commons will automatically transcode it into lower quality versions and formats. Given that this file is 200Mb, I assume you can get around upload size limitations. - hahnchen 14:04, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Makes sense that their MPEG is of a higher resolution. (Actually, you could get around the 100 mb size limit too... just need to use batched uploads) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:27, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - If you want to have a go at transcoding it yourself, I suggested some directions on Commons:User_talk:Odder#Ogg_Theora_uploads. A 2.4GB file is too big for me to attempt. - hahnchen 22:42, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Now that I'm back home, it's too big for me too. (Was nice to have the hotel's connection while it lasted). Well, we can consider this nomination withdrawn. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:48, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
