Had any number of fumbles getting #NetBSD working again on a Pi Zero 2W, finally got the image from ebijun [ https://github.com/ebijun/NetBSD ]. Now to adjust the keyboard...
As soon as I saw this video on my YouTube feed, I immediately sussed out what was going on despite having not seen the actual video being referred to but only having come across the title.
I lurked at the badsite and saw that I was right. (And I hate that I had to go to the badsite to confirm. 🤷♂️)
#FediHelp#WordPress#encoding
A friend told me something changed in his dreamhost co-hosted WordPress blog in 2021 and his previous posts now had encoding problems (we use lots of accented characters in Portuguese), but his current posts, after 2021 work OK.
Has anyone seen this? I'll have more information next Saturday, but I decided to ask in case it was a common, known issue...
SVT-AV1-PSY is the Scalable Video Technology for AV1 (SVT-AV1 Encoder and Decoder) with perceptual enhancements for psychovisually optimal AV1 encoding. The goal is to create the best encoding implementation for perceptual quality with AV1.
We've already implemented a couple of unique features not present in mainline that do appear to produce BD-rate gains on a number of clips already!! Please check it out!

Hi everyone! I wanted to introduce Av1an Command Generator, a relatively simple tool I wrote in Zig for generating Av1an commands for #AV1#encoding based on a limited set of parameters. GitHub link is below:
The bar to entry for understanding effective Av1an scripting is very high simply because there are a lot of well-documented ways to incorrectly set your parameters and very few who know what is psychovisually optimal. I am not one of those few, but because I know members of the AV1 community who've poured great time and effort into researching this kind of stuff, I am able to build from what they've learned. My more advanced tool, rAV1ator CLI, is also based on this research. I hope you enjoy!
@dmoren I know you have a Mac Mini with the #hevc acceleration for #encoding and #decoding. I’m looking to get one but I wanted you to know: does this accelerate “hardware” encoding only? Ie: only when you use video toolbox…or does it accelerate any king of encoding? (Ie: when you start encoding in general, the Mx CPU recognizes this and shunts it to that #HEVC engine?)
Today I released rav1ator-cli, a little terminal script that lets you easily interface with Av1an among other things! Read more about it & learn how to install here: https://wiki.x266.mov/docs/utilities/rav1ator-cli
Golang json encoding tip: a []uint8 or []byte slice will encode as a base64 string, but a fixed-length array of the same type will encode as a list of numbers.
Relevant line in package docs:
"Array and slice values encode as JSON arrays, except that []byte encodes as a base64-encoded string" https://pkg.go.dev/encoding/json#Marshal
So, I'm re-encoding my Stargate SG-1 episodes in a bit better quality. The tracks on the Blurays are not always in the same order as the episodes, but I'm finding that I only need to watch a few seconds of the encoded video file to know which episode title it is.
@hrbrmstr@milesmcbain So I've landed on a solution that seems to work for the most part. The biggest issue was \x92 (utf8 apostrophe used on web) encoding mixed in with mostly latin1 that remained incorrectly encoded.
There was a post from another time in another place about how certain #artworks were incompatible with a lot of video #encoding techniques, especially stippling (?)
@mcc@misty (I have vague recollections it may have been one of you, apologies if not)
I had a #video#encoding question last night, so I googled it. The first hit was EXACTLY what I needed. It was phrased better, and promised a complete fix to my problem.
But when I followed the link, the #subreddit was still private. So I went back to my results and found the answer on a site that wasn’t #reddit.
I know I could have looked in Google’s cache, or that other Reddit cache called #ChatGPT. But the path of least resist was to find the info elsewhere.
