Hello:
The NOAA stores graphics on their webpage
https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/FLOATER/data/EP122024/GEOCOLOR/
The graphics are arranged by time, latest time at the bottom.
If you carefully observe the file size, you can locate the gif videos.
Right now I am watching Hurricane Kristy in the eastern Pacific Ocean
which has strengthened to about Category 4.
Question:
I tried to use "ffmpeg -i NOAA_file.gif output.mkv" but the image
quality suffers. It is even worse, if I choose the mp4 file output.
What settings must ffmpeg receive in order to create a video file of the
highest possible quality, from these NOAA gifs?

p.s. Has anyone worked with the data from the GOES-16 and GOES-18
directly to obtain high quality image files?
