#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**
Compress to size utility
✅ Yes
A minimalist
✅ Yes
Requires separate ffmpeg/x264
**AutoFF**
The simplest FFmpeg shell
✅ Yes
Very simple
❌ No
Minimal functionality, no flexibility

🏆** Winner - VidCoder**
✅** Why VidCoder:**
**Direct file size input** (for example, 700 MB - the program will calculate the parameters itself).

**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.

📄** Summary**
If needed **the simplest, most understandable and flexible option**, That **VidCoder** is the best choice. It combines **convenience, support for modern formats and the ability to compress video to a given size**.

After evaluating several tools, we found that **Shutter Encoder** proved to be the most effective for our needs. However, as with all tools, it does come with its own set of challenges. While it delivers impressive results with hardware acceleration, it lacks pre-set templates for exact file sizes, which may be a dealbreaker for some users.
**Upcoming Second Article: Test Results and Practical Insights**
In the upcoming second article, we will dive deeper into the results of our **Shutter Encoder** tests, comparing the output quality and compression efficiency across various formats such as **H.265**. We'll analyze the practicality of the tool, focusing on real-world use cases, performance metrics, and system requirements. Stay tuned as we explore further insights and provide a final recommendation based on practical testing and actual results.

🎮** 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

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

🏆** Winner - VidCoder**
✅** Why VidCoder:**
**Direct file size input** (for example, 700 MB - the program will calculate the parameters itself).

**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.

📄** Summary**
If needed **the simplest, most understandable and flexible option**, That **VidCoder** is the best choice. It combines **convenience, support for modern formats and the ability to compress video to a given size**.

Don't know if I've posted this before or not, but there are new builds of #Handbrake (video encoder) which have AV1 SVT-PSY instead of just plain SVT as an encoding option. If you don't know what this is, nothing to see here, move along. If you're interested you can get the builds from here https://github.com/Nj0be/HandBrake-SVT-AV1-PSY

A look at Netflix's effort to deliver higher quality content at lower bitrates, including their work on the open-source AV1 codec, which Netflix has been using since 2020

Netflix is a founding member of the alliance for open media, a non-profit which paves the way for open-source, royalty-free codecs like AV1.

#netflix #streaming #AV1 #VideoEncoding #technology

It is irrelevant how performant proprietary video codecs are.
There is zero purpose dedicating any time or energy supporting a system where every client and server has to pay a license to use it.

AV1, and upcoming open-source royalty-free competitors are the only future for video encoding.

A codec that no one can use is useless.

Okay Fedi, y'all are a bunch of nerds, help me out?

I now have a set of MP4s of episodes from this DVD, and I'd like to add the intro, which is a separate MP4 file with identical encoding, to the beginning of each of them. I am using MacOS and I have ffmpeg installed, in case that's the best solution. I originally converted them from MKV to MP4 using Handbrake.

What's the most compatible video format/encoder with Mastodon? I tried using MP4, but my recent videos are being rejected, and VP8 WEBM is being turned into GIFs that can't be seeked.

I think this has been going on for as long as I've been in "IT". Back in the "days", we talked a lot about compression algorithms, and who owned what. How about the Open Source community gets on top? 🤔😊
