Large: Given that the original is usually the largest in pixel dimensions, it would be considered the large, and the file name is appended as “_orig”, and rendered as “nochange” @30FPS/2496BR with appropriate audio channels @44100kh sampling frequency with a bit rate of 128kbps.

Optimally--but only as needed or possible--saved in three sizes, adding:
Small: usually 128:96px or 176:144px @30FPS/2496BR with appropriate audio channels @44100kh sampling frequency with a bit rate of of 128kbps.
