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!

The Advanced Professional Video (APV) is a new video codec developed by Samsung, designed for professional-grade video recording and post-production, especially on smartphones. It aims to deliver high-quality, perceptually lossless video while using less storage space compared to existing formats.

@ezra personally I think #Apple should be forced.to implement #AV1 & #WebM and that @EUCommission could mandate #OpenStandards.

  • As for quality, were it not for #patents and espechally #SoftwarePantents, we'd have way better #Codecs, but this way people engineering a #FLOSS #Codec are constantly required to specifically avoid infringement of Patents and other IP by not using anything remotely related to it...

Also if #H265 wasn't #patented and facing #PatentTrolls and #rentseekers we'd see way better quality there as well.

  • Cuz #CCSS & #FLOSS can't share code nor expertise at all.

And yes, Apple (#MPEGLA-Member) is at the root of the problem!

Wet-Dry Worlda number 6 with ezra dip :neocat_flag_androgyne: (@ezra@wetdry.world)not that vp9 is bad quality, leagues better than h264, just not as good as the others imo. i'd say please use vp9 for web video but unfortunately Tim Apple and we're stuck with h264 because iphone users exist EDIT this is not a slight at iphone users, keep using what works for you, did not mean for this to hit so hard with the fossbros lol, this is a slight at tim apple

The relatively new "Quite OK Audio Format" (QOA) is a lossy audio compression format.

According to Grzegorz Kraszewski, this could also be a good alternative for the Amiga in terms of computing effort, quality and file size. He has implemented a decoder in M68k assembler and written a tool that converts QOA files into uncompressed AIFF:

Perfil A2DP Bluetooth: Qué es y cómo funciona androidayuda.com/android/que-e

El Bluetooth es ya un clásico en el blog porque está lleno de conceptos que es interesante conocer. Sin ir más lejos, hace muy poco hablé del acceso a la agenda de contactos y hoy toca entender el perfil A2DP que nos permite usar códecs de audio como SBC y AAC.

As a video codec engineer I don't think I'll allow movies I ripped from decades old DVDs to be encoded with MPEG-2. It's not like I am trying to save storage on the NAS. It's a principle thing.

My AMD 7900xtx supports AV1 hardware encoding... It can encode 1000+ frames per second for those 480p movies.

trying to update my knowledge of video codecs for #resolume so I can chop up video clips with audio more precisely. Recommendations from the KB are from over a decade ago, then download links for #codec tools are two insecure HTTP hops deep into feeling like it's the era of K-Lite Mega Codec Pack all over again; looking at u #quicktime
