There's a big difference between encoding gigabyte videos into hundreds

helpful to allow the second more generally, with sensible limits on
attachment size.

  You can just post a Python program to /generate/ the binary.
  For example:

with open( 'output202402261208430100ergahei_tmp_DML.bin', 'wb' )as sink:
    sink.write( b'\00\01\02' )

  . Now, one can run this Python program and will get the binary file
  "output202402261208430100ergahei_tmp_DML.bin" with the three bytes
  00, 01, and 02.

  But be warned: If you already have a file named
  "output202402261208430100ergahei_tmp_DML.bin"
  on your hard drive, the above program may *overwrite*
  (delete) your existing file. So proceed with care!
