I don't understand what this is about, but I admire the commitment, the story, the CGI. 7/10.

It's incredibly difficult to read the captions on this meme, there's not enough contrast with the white text on the light backgrounds.

[-] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

Even less contrast...

And when you've finally managed to decipher them, that's when the grammar hits you.

Ahh, the time of streaming xvid codec and having divX video player everywhere ๐Ÿ˜‚ good old times

Xiph have always produced the best stuff. Competition is great and all, but at the end of the day, Xiph's codecs beat everyone at everything.

libaom is a fucking joke. SVT might be a memory hog, but as the proud owner of a system with enough memory to run it, I can proudly say my 1 minute video rendered in less than ten minutes and somehow had worse compression than x264

Wait, whot?

When did rav1e become Assembly?

[-] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 32 points 5 months ago

The image is implying it's 95% written in Assembly and that's why it finished so fast.

I really like SVT. AOM (or whatever the default was for ffmpeg) was terribly slow. Now I have to try out rav1e.

[-] jh29a 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I really want to know why they implemented a piece of software that's this complicated in assembly. Is it just speed? Then I also want to know what all the great numbers of video codecs I have just uncovered after clicking on "the input format must be .y4m" in their Readme. Since OP seem to know about the 306 options of the official AOM encoder a little, and rav1e also sounds rather CLI-heavy, this also gets my uneducated head wondering where these products are used. Do other app developers drop it in like ffmpeg? Probably. It also sounds like Disney & Co. just have some servers that they have scripted to "encode the corporate fortune". How true is this?
