  1. NPR Planet Money explores the role of patent pools in tech standards, how companies can collaborate without straying into collusion

  2. It's interesting how prominent are the macroblock artifacts around the rotation of the ball during passes. You'd think somehow the NFL or NBC would be able to massage that in the signal going to the compressor. Every shot is remarkably consistent in the artifact presentation. #video #mpeg #superbowl

  3. Been messing around with a little #prototype #neuralnetwork. It behaves similarly to a #video #codec. It uses a frozen set of weights from #StableDiffusionXL and uses its latent space to carry forward to a set of networks that behave like the B-frame motion vectors used by codecs like #MPEG. These are smaller networks, letting me train it on my regular old #GPU while relying on the work of the big boys for generating I-frames via #SDXL.

    At least that's the theory. Reality remains to be seen.

  5. So many people insist on making shitty GIFs from the 1990s, instead of any actual video format that came out in the 30 years since.

  6. 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:

  7. Tuto pour lire un #DVD-Vidéo sous Linux, même s'il est protégé par un système anti-copie ou d'une autre zone que la Zone 2 :
    ➡️ lafibre.info/tutoriels-linux/l

    En 2022, il s'est vendu :
    - 8,4 millions DVD (SD) en #MPEG-2
    - 2,9 millions Blu-ray Full HD en H.264
    - 0,7 million Blu-ray 4K Ultra HD en #HEVC

  8. Trying to implement the #AV1 in #MPEG-TS feature for #GStreamer ...

    It's scary, not going to point fingers, but there are some inconsistencies between what the #AV1 spec mandates ... and what the isobmff and (pending) mpeg-ts wrapping specs are using.

    At least the mpeg-ts one is still a draft, so things can be changed.

    I need a drink ...

    Ну, сейчас можно поднять свой сигнал на спутник относительно за недорого (но с кучкой специальных знаний). Подробнее на radioscanner.ru. #MaxHeadroom #satellite #DVB #MPEG #Hijack

  11. @binarytango @atomicpoet I was thinking about this; I almost replied with a post I wrote in 2014, claiming that no new open communication platform has survived since #SMS (which is dying), but then I thought of Podcasting.

    Podcasting - underpinned by open protocols ( #RSS, #mpeg , etc.), and funded in all sorts of ways - might be the model for Fedi & #ActivityPub . Plus, "social" is now so mature that more standardization might take.

    Der Videokompressionsstandard VVC / H.266 verspricht dieselbe Videoqualität bei halber Datenrate wie HEVC. Wir erklären, wie der Effizienzschritt gelingt.
