Почему одинаковая надпись H.264 или H.265 на IP-камерах не делает их одинаковыми

На рынке видеонаблюдения есть удивительно живучий миф: если на двух IP-камерах написано H.264 или H.265, значит, и вести себя они должны примерно одинаково. Нагрузка на сеть будет похожей, архив займет сопоставимый объем, сервер разницы не заметит, а совместимость окажется чем-то само собой разумеющимся. Разберем, почему одинаковая надпись H.264 или H.265 не делает IP-камеры одинаковыми, какие параметры действительно влияют на поведение потока и на что стоит смотреть при выборе, тестировании и модернизации системы.

Reading about the license cost increase of h264 (video codec) shows that open and royalty-free standards and codecs are important to be independent and inclusive.

In the very few cases, two or something, where I converted videos I also used h264, despite preferring something open like the modern AV1, just because I know basically all devices, like my laptop, support hardware-decoding of h264, while software-decoding of AV1 (no clue if my laptop can hardware-decode VP8/9) needs more power.

I should change that in the future, out of principle, as much as I value better old-device support.

That said: AV1 also has some companies claiming patents, so far without success. Bite patent trolls and software patents!

#h264 #SoftwarePatents

Die #Lizenzgebühr für #H264 / #AVC wurde teils um das 45-Fache erhöht. Neue Streaming-Anbieter zahlen künftig bis zu 4,5 Mio. Dollar für den #Video-#Codec. Das dürfte auch Abopreise weiter nach oben treiben. https://winfuture.de/news,157928.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

Can we expect #AV1 to replace #H264 any time soon? What is holding it back and by whom / why?!

I use a PiKVM for work to control access to a small build lab, they really are excellent little devices and a very cool project - the team are super responsive and helpful on their Discord server.

By default, the PiKVM uses an H264 protocol to stream content from the device to your browser... guess what isn't enabled / available in Firefox on Fedora 44 beta ??

Сравнение технологий аппаратного транскодирования

Можно ли чем-то заменить Nvidia? Если уж не для нейросетей, то для транскодирования видео, которое в медиапроизводстве занимает очень значительное место и требует больших вычислительных ресурсов. В этой статье попытаемся выяснить, есть ли у аппаратной платформы NVIDIA альтернативы в задачах обработки и кодирования видео, и можно ли заменить NVIDIA чем-то более доступным во всех смыслах: и по возможности закупки на рынке РФ, и по цене.

Synology Kills Graphics Drivers and HEVC & H.264 HW Transcoding on the J4125 NAS (DS225+ & DS425+) - YouTube

This is a (granted, simple) animation in Full HD. The whole H264 file is 18 KB in size.

If I ask mpv to take a JPEG screenshot of one frame of it, that JPEG has 59 KB.

Converting that JPEG to PNG compresses away most of the black, but has some compression artifacts around the letters. The PNG is 5.6 KB in size.

I'm sure that I'd be able to deflate the PNG down even more without the artifacts, but I don't have a lossless version of the original video.

Still: 18 K is astonishing.

#video #H264

@atomicpoet @movies there's a lot more to it than that too though. Blu-ray #movies are encoded with all the extra languages and #Netflix gets to pick which one to stream. Netflix gets to use newer codecs than #Bluray so old 1080p Blu-ray discs are running #h264 (4k Blu-ray has an upgrade there) making the bit rate artificially higher. Apples and oranges.
I'm that guy who bought Oppenheimer on Blu-ray in 4k but it was for the audio. The video quality is nearly as good on #streaming TBH.

The #hyperdeck is a bit picky, but looks like the #h264 level is the main issue, set it to "main" then it happily plays videos.
And obviously the video resolution and fps needs to match with the current settings.

So I have hundreds of videos of ~1 minute recorded from my phone ~10 years ago, and they generally don’t have that great compression, nor they are stored in a modern and advanced video format.

For archiving purposes, I want to take advantage of my workstation’s mighty GPU to process them so that the quality is approximately the same, but the file size would be strongly reduced.

Nevertheless, compressing videos is terribly hard, and way more complex than compressing pictures, so I wouldn’t really know how to do this, what format to use, what codec, what bitrate, what parameters to keep an eye on, etc.

I don’t care if the compression takes a lot of time, I just want smaller but good looking videos.

Any tips? (Links to guides and tutorials are ok too)

Also, unfortunately I am forced to use Windows for this (don’t ask me why 🫠), but I know nothing about Windows because I hate it. Practical software suggestions are very much welcome, too!

I'm trying to figure out the licensing around h264 and HEVC for a Godot plugin.

For h264, there seems to be OpenH264 on the software decode side, for which if using the binaries, Cisco is paying for the license and given the implementation freely to use. Great!

But what about HW decoders? If I'm selling software that is run on commercial software that's run on users computers that have HW decoders... is the onus on the game dev or HW manufacturer?

Надо составить список it-дел на лето, чтобы в сентябре понять, что успел, что нет. Порядок рандомный:

- Потрогать что-нибудь embeded уровнем повыше ардуино, сделать реально РАБОТАЮЩУЮ И ПОЛЕЗНУЮ штуку (Bluetooth receiver для колонки)

- Перестроить домашнюю инфру, а именно #nixos система на мейн пк, мониторинги, общие папки, впн доступ, семейная хранилка паролей

- Продолжить разбираться с #go, поделать #spectrumшиза

- Заработать денег, желательно мозгами, желательно чтобы хватило на ноут

- Потрогать #i2p и #yggdrassil, чтобы уже наконец-то скинуть @kirill треки (я помню!)

- Доделать тг бота для чата своего тгк

- Научить маму пользоваться нейронками для работы

- Зарайсить телефон (опционально)

- Сделать ещё 1 WiFi точку в квартире, ибо заебал слабый сигнал

- Потрогать #pfsense и всякое такое, чтобы сечь рекламу и прочую нечисть на роутере (возможно придётся купить роутер)

- Разобрать старые файлы, пережать плохо пожатые видосы (тут надо зашарить за #h264)

Символы кончились

訳あってJavaでH.264のNALユニットを解析する方法を調べているが、こりゃ大変だ。高レベルAPIを備えたライブラリなどあるはずもなく、自分でバイトどころかビット単位で処理することになる。 JavaFXのソース読んでみるのもありなのかな？何となくこの辺りはネイティブ実装に投げてそうな気もするが。 #java #h264

Wieder ein #Linux Problem gelöst.
Gestern habe ich aus einen Video einen kurzen Schnipsel extrahieren wollen und den dann immer wiederholen, bis 10 Sekunden zusammen kommen. Die Software war schnell gefunden: #kdenlive
Aber der #h264 Codec lief beim Export nicht.
Lösung: Nicht #ffmpeg aus dem original #Fedora Repository verwenden, sondern das #rpmfusion-free Repository einbinden und das Paket ffmpeg daraus installieren. Läuft

Langsam beschleicht mich der Verdacht, das Fedora keine gute Wahl war

I keep having issues with #h264 in #fedora #linux
Scrolling is broken and sometimes when doomscrolling #youtube shorts video is hanging though audio keeps running.
Super annoying when such big companies decide to use proprietary and heavily marketed solutions as they default driver.

@noondlyt I think it might be a picture format based on H.265 or H.264, but am not sure it is.

Fedora does not play mainstream media (such as H.264) out-of-the-box :revblobfoxdrakedislike:

But with RPM Fusion configured and some packages reinstalled - it can :revblobfoxdrakelike:

sudo dnf install libavcodec-freeworld ffmpeg --allowerasing

Note that ffmpeg (coming from RPM Fusion) must overwrite ffmpeg-free (coming from @fedora repo) :beaker:

Also worth noting VLC (from :fedora: repo) will do hardware decoding with correct libavcodec and ffmpeg present :blobcatcheer:

Handling #HECV/ #H265 #video files under #linux is pain in the ass.

Had to convert them to #H264 to be able to handle them appropriatly. That took ages not only because of the fact that this is a lot of encoding but also because the tool (#handbrake gui) I used crashed plenty of time. Using HandBrake-CLI seems to work much better and stable.

Кстати, вчерашний день потратил на уменьшение своей коллекции онямешек с 50 Гб до 25 Гб. Да ещё некоторые тайтлы перекачал в 1080р.

Видео - первое что ищем - #AV1, если нет, то #H265, можно и #H264, но только если мало весит.
Звук - нахуй все ваши #Flac, #AAC и #TrueHD, конвертируем всё в #Opus 128k. Оставляем только оригинальную дорожку.
Субтитры - оставляем только русские. #Ass, #UTF8.
Аттачменты - убираем всё, что не ломает ваши сабы.

Наслаждаемся тайтлами в отличном качестве при минимальном весе! ​:blobcatthumbsup:​

I purchased this gpu for video encoding (VP9/AV1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSFJN835?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 . It's a little encoding powerhouse, and for the low $99 price tag IMO it's a really good value. I'm able to encode a 2hr BluRay movie using VP9/AV1 in about 10 minutes. The only negative about the card is the onboard fan. It's pretty noisy.

The last days i wanted to deliver a video (as a static video file) on my webserver to friends. Personally i mostly use #vp9 / #opus codec in #webm container. This worked everywhere but on #iOS. I do not have an Iphone so i could not test it before.

I tried to get vp9 working (and ask friends to test again), but couldn't get it work, though there are many announcements that Safari will supports it (in 2020). Then i tried #h265 / #hvec in mp4 container because Iphones use this for encoding their recorded videos. So i thought this must work. But also that did not work.

Afterwards i found this guide who tells that #Safari only accepts #h264 static video files. Everything else has to be delivered by #HLS. Does anyone knows why? Is there a technical reason why accepting h265 videos in hls but not in static file? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/delivering_video_content_for_safari

During my research i found many different arguments why iPhones did not support vp9 (due to missing hardware decoders or because it increases code complexity). I can understand that but i can not tell you if this is the real reason (or just because its a standard of Google). But on the otherside i found information that Apple supports VP9 with HLS. but does not say this official.

PS: I know i could just use standard h264 encoding, but i wanted to have small video size and i thought that ios will accecpt at least any format that is newer than h264.
