#videoencoding — Public Fediverse posts

In a groundbreaking display of ⚠️absolute absurdity⚠️, someone decided to squeeze 60fps video onto a CGA, the computing equivalent of fitting a Ferrari engine into a tricycle. 🤡 Witness the #GlyphBlaster, a project that proves once and for all that just because you can doesn't mean you should. 🎉

So … while this is obviously nice for virtualized gaming, what about video decode/encode acceleration?

Is there a way to give a #Linux guest access to the host #GPU's video codec acceleration without GPU passthrough?

Just like it's possible to pass /dev/dri into a container, can I do a similar thing with a #QEMU / #KVM virtual machine?

🎮** How to easily transcode a video to the desired size: an honest review of simple programs for Windows 10**
🔧** Task**
Sometimes you need to compress a video **up to a strictly defined file size**, For example:
**700 MB** for CD

**1.4 GB** for DVD

**100 MB** to upload to messenger

It is important:
**Don't change video length

**
**Don't understand complex parameters** codecs and bitrates

Just specify the size you need and get the result

🔬** Criteria for selecting programs**
The following criteria were used to find suitable tools:
**Criterion**
**Required?**
Specifying the exact target file size
✅ Yes
Simple interface without unnecessary settings
✅ Yes
Support for modern video formats
✅ Yes
Does not require technical knowledge
✅ Yes
Relevance and absence of hidden restrictions
✅ Yes
Ability to save templates
🔸 Preferable

🎯** Final candidates**
After testing various utilities, the list of finalists included: **three programs**, which actually allow you to compress video to a given size **without complicated settings**.
**Program**
**Main purpose**
**Size indication**
**Interface**
**Templates**
**Comment**
**VidCoder**
Universal video converter
✅ Yes
Very simple
✅ Yes
The best balance of simplicity and control
**Simple x264/x265 Launcher**

**Simple and convenient interface**, understandable even to a beginner.

**Support for modern codecs** (x264, x265) without having to download them manually.

**There are profiles and templates** to quickly select settings.

**You can compress multiple videos at once** (working with a file queue).

**Does not require special knowledge**.

🚫** Cons:**
The first acquaintance may seem a little confusing, but after a couple of clicks everything is intuitive.

If your computer is weak, encoding may take longer.

📥**Where to download?**
👉 **Official website:** https://vidcoder.net/

💪** Alternatives**
🥈** Simple x264/x265 Launcher**
✅ **Pros:**
Minimal interface, nothing extra.

Supports setting the file size directly.

Lightweight, not overloaded with functions.

⚠️ **Cons:**
Requires separate download **FFmpeg/x264** and manual path settings.

The interface is a bit "technical".

**Verdict:** Suitable for those who are not afraid of minimal manual setup.

🥉** AutoFF**
✅ **Pros:**
Minimum steps: select a file, enter the size, click “Start”.

Does not require additional dependencies.

⚠️ **Cons:**
There are no templates, queues, or codec selection.

The interface is outdated.

The project is practically abandoned.

**Verdict:** Only for those who need the most primitive conversion method.
