finally back to editing the video, and I've now found that FFV1 mostly does not have hardware accelerated encode/decode on Linux yet (ffmpeg shipped major improvements last summer, but ffmpeg is not VLC or Kdenlive)

that's too bad, because it's a lot more space-efficient than HuffYUV, but if my (fairly ancient) laptop chokes on 1080p30 playback due to using the CPU exclusively, I can't use it.

Bluetooth codecs are a mess, right? AAC, AptX, LDAC... what's the difference and why should we even care?

This article breaks it down so your audio never sounds like it's coming from a tin can again. What's your go-to codec for quality sound?

Well, isn't this 'feature' interesting? HP and Dell are quietly disabling HEVC hardware support on some laptops, meaning your browser might just give you an infinite loading screen instead of video. Apparently, those pesky codec licensing fees are getting pricey.

Are you affected by this hardware downgrade? What's your go-to third-party solution?

#Apple providing the very example of why I think it's a terrible idea to implement #codecs in memory-unsafe languages.

This would have been impossible in Ada. Or Java. Or even /Swift/ (yes, their own language would have prevented this).

There is no excuse.

Digital Preservation in Popular Culture: Elementary S05E07

"I managed to isolate the serial number of Mr Trenchman's new camera from the metadata hidden in his YouTube footage"

NB. couldn't find a better resolution to get a better pic of the video codec!

#DigitalForensics #SocialMedia #Digipres #Codecs #Elementary #InfoSec

A screenshot from Elementary S05E07. The image shows footage of a base jumper to the left and to the right a window from an unknown metadata analysis program. The metadata shows information about codec, features of the camera used to take the footage, and so on.

También he visto que existe el contenedor mka, que es aún más multiproposito que .oga ¿alguien podría darme un buen ejemplo del uso de este?

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?

@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.

  • Cuz #CCSS & #FLOSS can't share code nor expertise at all.

And yes, Apple (#MPEGLA-Member) is at the root of the problem!

@ustralien and even then:

Modern #Codecs like #Speex and espechally #Opus really work great on #Mumble and other solutions like #WebCall and #SIP-Clients like #Linphone.

  • Unless you're stuck on #Iridium, then #Codec2 is the only thing narrowband-efficient enough to work at all...

🎬 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

🎧 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 」
