Una pregunta sobre codecs de audio y contenedores.
Estoy ripeando música en FLAC a Opus y veo que Fre:ac me da la opción de meterla en contenedor .opus o en contenedor .oga, me imagino que el contenedor opus es preferido, aunque sea mimetype Ogg, así que la cuestión sería ¿usar opus u oga? y en caso de opus por encima de oga con que codecs de audio se recomienda .oga y pregunta bonus he bisto que se puede encapsilar Flac en .ogg ¿que usos tiene eso?

I spent 1 week to configure recording of screen,
microphone and camera.
I was able to make it in two steps:
1) record screen in parallel (wf-recorder tool)
2) record camera and mic in parallel (ffmpeg)
3) combine them (ffmpeg)
I was able to record only Wayland environment without
Linux consoles.

The best motivation as I see:
1) self example
2) righteousness
3) pisitive feedback

There is a balance between openness and inner work.
Joy and building walls.

@ezra personally I think #Apple should be forced.to implement #AV1 & #WebM and that @EUCommission could mandate #OpenStandards.
- As for quality, were it not for #patents and espechally #SoftwarePantents, we'd have way better #Codecs, but this way people engineering a #FLOSS #Codec are constantly required to specifically avoid infringement of Patents and other IP by not using anything remotely related to it...
Also if #H265 wasn't #patented and facing #PatentTrolls and #rentseekers we'd see way better quality there as well.
And yes, Apple (#MPEGLA-Member) is at the root of the problem!
🎬 AV1 is supposed to make streaming better, so why isn’t everyone using it?
—@verge
｢ Netflix, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta banded together to develop video compression’s latest evolution: AV1. The companies say the video codec is around 30 percent more efficient compared to other standards like HEVC and the Google-developed VP9, allowing it to deliver higher-quality video at a lower bandwidth ｣

Have you ever encountered VLC unable to play a .mkv file when your machine is plugged into hdmi? I have this .mkv file that will play fine on my MacBook screen, but if I plug an hdmi cable into my MacBook to output to a projector, VLC just shows a black screen, even after restarting VLC.
Thankfully I was able to get what I wanted playing over the projector from a different source and in a different format but I'm still really confused. #VLC #mkv #hdmi #tech #VideoFormats #codecs #mac
So…even C/C++ isn’t good enough due to SIMD?

🎧 You Didn't Notice MP3 Is Now Free
｢ The MP3 format, once the gold standard for digital audio files, is now free. The licensing and patents on MP3 encoders have expired, meaning you can now include them in your applications without paying royalties. For software developers and audio enthusiasts, this might seem like a big deal ｣
[#TLDR: JUST TELL ME IF YOUR TABLET CAN DO #CALLS!]
#DearVendors of #Android-#Tablets:
Off all the #Functions you can put into a #Specifications Sheet of your Devices there's one you should ALWAYS answer clearly on your #Website:
DOES YOUR TABLET [with #4G / #5G / …) SUPPORT MAKING PHONE CALLS?
Like: IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO HAVE THAT INFO IN THE SPECSHEETS?
You're obviously able to list all the #Codecs natively supported and the user-available storage as well as supported Frequency Bands, WWAN modes, WiFi channel width and the Display Glass vs. Panel dimensions including DPI of the latter and whether or not it has a hall effect sensor to detect your overpriced 1st party tablet covers!
Now some folks may ask: "WHY does this matter?" or outright dismiss this as a problem.
Listen:
Not everyone is able or willing to carry two devices when 1 SHOULD BE ENOUGH and also some places (i.e. #Turkey) have #ImportRestrictions re: #MobileDevices, so having more than 1 #IMEI is already a "NOPE!" by the authorities.
- Also this isn't something one can "fix" post-purchase like installing #VLC to decode some obscure file format in Software: Either the #Baseband and #ROM support #PhoneCalls or they don't!
So why do NONE of the #Tablet manufacturers allow to #search or #filter for that???
- Bonus points if you have lazy fucks like #HMD (aka. #Nokia) who literally copy the #Safety & #Useage information for all #Smartphones and #Tablets and don't even bother to change "Mobile Phone" for "Tablet".
NO, instead one has to download an obscenely huge #PDF just to then read on page 34 that for any "#telephony" function you NEED YET ANOTHER DEVICE FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER AND HAVE TO SIGNUP WITH AN ACCOUNT and even that level of #abuse WON'T GUARANTEE THAT IT WORKS...
- I mean, come on, this ain't some obscure functionality like #OMAPI to do some "evil sourcery" like managing an #eSIM that is in a #SIM-Card form factor!
Pretty shure A LOT of other folks have the same question and ain't willing to get yet another device & #SIM just to recieve the occasional call because #TechIlliterates can't be assed to send an #eMail or learn #XMPP+#OMEMO to message one...
- Obviously they same manufacturers are able and willing to specify f-stops of the built-in cameras and list EVERY SINGLE #WEARABLE they made and certify as 'compatible' with, as if anyone is gonna take their non-#waterproof #Tablet for a marathon or god forbid triathlon...
#Rant #TechSupport #Technology #Support #Sysadmin #Procurement #IT #SpecSheet #Tech
@getimiskon That being said there's nothing wrong using #GIMP and I'd rather use that than to ever give #Adobe or #AVID money.
- Not to mention #piracy isn't an option in any #commercial setup when courts already decided that using pirated Software will result in the copyrights being de-jure transfered to the Software Licensor in lieu of licensing payments...
So yeah, I do want to see #Linux ports of #Affinity's Suite and #Blackmagicdesign to step up their Support of #DavinchiResolve for Linux outside of #CentOS & #RHEL Workstation and at least on the #paid version get #FeatureParity to the #macOS & #Windows version in terms of #Codecs (or at least implement support for those not subject to #licensing like #AV1, #VP9 / #WebM & #Opus, #Vorbis & #Speex.
FFmpeg, Ogg Vorbis, and FLAC are key technologies in the world of multimedia processing, each serving a unique purpose. FFmpeg is a powerful, open-source suite for converting, streaming, and manipulating audio and video files across various formats. Ogg Vorbis is a free, open-source lossy codec known for its efficient compression and high-quality audio, ideal for streaming.

If Star Trek communications worked like real world audio/video communications:
Uhura: Captain, the Klingon vessel is hailing us.
Kirk: Lt. Uhura, have we installed the Klingon video and audio codecs?
Uhura: Yes, captain, but they've updated their protocol since our last hail.
Captain: Mr. Spock, install the software for their new protocol.
Spock: Unfortunately, Captain, the new protocol has not been ported to Federation OS.
Captain: Just fire phasers on the Klingon vessel!
So Mozilla has apparently just reconsidered their stance on JPEG XL! That is, going from ‘nope lol’ to ‘rust ftw lol’. Which reads like a rather ungraceful turnaround, but it is a turnaround, so… kudos to Mozilla for correcting some of their wrongs! :gutkato_dikfingro_supren:
(They say the requirement is for memory safety, which seems fair enough, but I do wonder why they needed three freaking years just to decide this was their main concern. Yay for efficiency, I guess.) :gutkato_flucerba:

Esto de los #códecs libres es una auténtica locura, alucinante de principio a fin.
Resulta que estoy convirtiendo unos videos HD filmados con un #iPodtouch (códecs: #H264 + #AAC) a #AV1 + #Opus, en contenedor #MKV ( #Matroska) con #HandBrake.
Los videos convertidos terminan teniendo alrededor del 14% del tamaño de los videos originales, y no percibo aparente pérdida de calidad (¡además de hacerlo compatible con muchos más dispositivos! :laptop_parrot:).
¡¡MAJESTUOSO!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
