When processing a file, FFmpeg employs "timestamps" (PTS) to ensure lips move in time with voices. If there is a desynchronization—a glitch in the matrix—the comedy falls apart.

In the context of the episode, this mirrors the frustration Jay feels when he is out of the loop, unable to hear the voices that Sam hears.

Just as the show explores the coexistence of the living and the dead, FFmpeg explores the coexistence of container formats, video codecs, and audio streams. A command like ffmpeg -i input

In FFmpeg, subtitles often exist as a separate stream, hidden within the file but viewable upon command. Using the command: ffmpeg -i ghosts_s02e03.mkv -map 0:s:0 subs.srt
