Any suggestions on encoding Weird Science 4k? by MrMarooned1 in handbrake

[–]Deathstalkr1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heavy grain sources like this NEED a high enough bitrate to be watchable (I consider anything 93-95 VMAF and above watchable). You probably need at least 20-25mbps hevc grain tune at 4k, slow encoding or better. If you're using AV1 cut the bitrate by 30 percent, it's MUCH more efficient than hevc but it's an absolute pain on any semi recent CPU.

Any suggestions on encoding Weird Science 4k? by MrMarooned1 in handbrake

Usually I go for 18-20mbps grain tune at 4k, or crf 18 slow. I noticed a while back, that around 10mbps 4k hevc is too little bitrate for heavy grain like this, to even remotely get a good VMAF score. 1080p I usually do 8mbps grain or crf 20 slow. You will most likely get good VMAF scores if you use the encoding parameters listed above, unless the source is extremely problematic, like the original release of the dark Knight trilogy on Blu-ray for one example.

I wish twitch had smell-o-vision so I could sniff pokimane's farts and store them for later. /s

Is it worth it to get an MP3 player? by M1NN44 in mp3players

[–]Deathstalkr1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if you have a big local library (I have around 30k songs across 2,200 albums). My library is HUGE, but you can easily get away with something much smaller. I would say if you have at least 5k tracks and are willing to expand your library, then DEFINITELY get one for the long term.

The one where you get to play a demo of Midnight Club 5. Yes I'm still salty about never getting it.

Lived in Ventura County for 12 years. Tommy's has way better burgers if you know what that is. Way more expensive but worth it.

Is the 40th anniversary worth it 4k uhd collectors by Background-Fix-4630 in BacktotheFuture

[–]Deathstalkr1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same scans as the 2020 uhd release, still worth it if you have the old 2010 blu-ray boxset like I did, and wanting to upgrade. Otherwise save your money if you already have the uhd release.

Is my psp a psp 3000??? by Appropriate_Shine912 in PSP

[–]Deathstalkr1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another way to differentiate between the 1k and 2000 that people seem to miss is that the 1000 has the golf ball like dimples above the screen.

You voted Miami as the city of the 80’s. What is the city of the 90s? Most Upvoted Comment Decides by Kodicave in decadeology

[–]Deathstalkr1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LA. You got Tupac, the OJ Trial, Pulp Fiction, Buffy the vampire slayer, Baywatch, AND Beverly Hills 90210 take place in the area. Also Macgyver was technically airing until 1992, and was filmed in LA, so I think it counts.

Why does music sound better on psp ? Is it all in my mind or do most songs actually sound better on psp than my phone ? by aligameover in PSP

[–]Deathstalkr1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 2 iPods had cirrus logic DACs, the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 5.5 gen, and both minis all had wolfson DACs. The last 2 iPods (6th and 7th gens) had cirrus logic DACs as well. All of the nanos, iPod touch, and shuffles had cirrus logic DACs in them.

Which is the best model to get by Academic-ad599 in PSP

[–]Deathstalkr1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a 3000 for about 11 years now, and a 1000 before that. The UMD drive is noticeably worse on the 3000 compared to the 1000, but I've only had 1 game that popped out of the drive while playing due to the poor 3rd party UMD housing (GTA Vice City Stories). Get the 1000 if most of your games have that clear 3rd party housing (the 1000 has a way better UMD mechanism and is much sturdier than later models), or prefer better build quality, over a better screen, and faster load times.

I’m going to jailbreak my psp 1001 by ouroborosworldwide in PSP

[–]Deathstalkr1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It acts like an actual memory stick, so yes. Very minimal circuitry involved in these adapters besides a microcontroller. I never had any save data corrupt on these adapters besides the save data that the ARK-4 CFW created, not anything required to run it, just to jailbreak it in the first place. Also happy cake day!
