#transcoding — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #transcoding, aggregated by home.social.

  1. New Halide blog post on post-processing for chroma as it is relevant to compression efficiency: halide.cx/blog/chroma-handling

    Seems like you can get a roughly 2% efficiency improvement with 4:2:0 decoder output just with smarter post-processing for chroma. Pretty neat!

  2. Now all of our photos and videos are processed, I made Immich transcode them again with AV1 software encoder and now they all look great!

    Also worth noting that this only happens with videos from pixel 10 pro fold….. HDR videos from iPhone and other devices are fine.

  3. Ah the Immich transcoding has a bug where the tone mapping is broken - transcoded HEVC video thumbnails are very dark with NVENC. Not sure if it happens with other encoders. I’d love to use av1 but my old hardware doesn’t support that…

    Here’s the bug report:

  4. Looking for a dedicated GPU for #transcoding purposes turned out to be the worst rabbit hole.🙈

    So, I'm using a AMD Ryzen 4600G in my homelab featuring #ProxmoxVE. The hardware transcoding capabilities of AMD hardware is very much behind Nvidia and #Intel, even though it isn't half as bad as expected. Anyway, the best transcoding hardware (best quality at same size/profile) are Intel devices featuring #QuickSync. Setting up another dedicated transcoding device (featuing a low power Intel APU such as the #N100) device doesn't seem to make much sense for me. There are several Intel Arc GPUs on the market and they all have pretty much the same transcoding capabilities, so I'd like to get the Intel GPU featuring the lowest power draw, especially when idling. (1/?)

    awesome!
    In the long run it might also make the online transcoding tools with the "Start now" [to download malware]-button obsolete.

    Funnily I talked about this [soon solved] problem with my funder @clemensg by phone today.

    just et. al. too

  6. 1/3
    Just completed a #Transcode of around 30 minutes of .webm vid+aud into h.265 (aka #HEVC).

    Took 8 hours.

    And the computer's fan did a lot of whirring.

    Getting a format that the TV wil play without #Transcoding seems necessary.

  7. Updated numbers for Eve-AV1 & Eve-VP9 are public! The last time they were updated was around 2019, so this should give a more relevant look at how they perform. It takes a lot to improve a mature video encoder, and I'm very impressed with the Eve lineup. I may be biased, though.

  11. Bah. Looks like have hit the limits of the P400’s NVENC transcoder; hit rates below 1.00x for first time... it's put in a few years.

    The P400 RAM usage is about 1 gb with 4 streams, but 100% on encode/decode. The P400 has 1 Pascal (6th gen) nvenc block and 2gb RAM.

    Have an Arc A380 coming in now.

    A380 should be able to handle quite a bit more, has two MFX engines (quicksync) & 6gb RAM.

    Time will tell.

  12. Moved my #Jellyfin install to a fresh install on my #N100 machine.Works perfectly and #transcoding works well enough for 3 concurrent streams/transcodes.
    I have now offloaded all VMs and Containers from my older #Proxmox server.
    2025 will be my #YearOfMiniPCs I'm guessing!

  13. Looking for some advice regarding options for the home media center.

    I'm running a NAS that has Plex server happily running on it but I noticed when playing videos on end devices it transcodes often and the transcoding is slow on the NAS which seems to be a common issue.

    I'm looking to offload that work. I was thinking of setting up a SFF/MiniITX PC or piece of hardware that does transcoding well and simply install the Plex app and target the Plex server for data. I have a spare GPU I can use already if necessary. I also saw there are devices like the NVIDIA shield. I was thinking for this device it would simply need some GPU w/NVENC or Intel CPU w/QuickSync. Am I missing any options?

    If I do go with the SFF/MiniITX build I would need a remote. I was thinking maybe the FLIRC receiver and a legacy remote. Any better options for that?

    Lastly does it make sense to skip the Plex server and mount the media directly on either the SFF or NVIDIA Shield, sync the data every so often, and then transcode locally off faster disks? If so is it easy to get a shell or OS-level access on the Shield?
