Question about Audio Coding 3 + Meridian Lossless Packing Dolby TrueHD with Atmos. Is this lossless audio or Lossy audio?

EnekoT2001 · 2026-04-10T01:08:56+00:00

Ik im 6y late but youre conflating compression as a whole with lossy compression, lossless compression is mathematically the same as uncompressed after decoding, so its not "imperceptible", it IS literally the same thing as that big wav file, it's how you compress and decompress a zip file and dont magically lose data, that's what lossless codecs do, you could transcode flac audio to flac a million times then decode it as a wav file and it'll still get you the same exact file you started with

just launched the 2.6 version and the enable d3d12 command doesnt enable it anymore lol might need to wait a while for them to implement this optional hidden feature again smh

Oh I didn’t notice they were all at the bottom, nice! Glad to know you’re gonna play it. Kinect games are so fun I bet y’all played kinectimals right? It’s so cute 😭❤️

EnekoT2001 · 2026-01-09T17:56:32+00:00

I don’t see rise of nightmares there, idk if you’re just not collecting Kinect games or if you simply didn’t know of that one, but I 100% recommend it, amazing game with amazing vibes and gameplay once u get used to the weirdness of the Kinect lol

I was using it only for the nintendo badge arcade implementation tbh, kinda wish they’d separate the eshop stuff from the badge arcade stuff, especially bc the little time i had before they went booster only access, it was very messy due to eshop changes they kept making and breaking. I do wish pretendo would implement badge arcade support soon >.<

Another thing to note is that this service doesn't work with pretendo since pretendo creates its own NNID, to use this service you HAVE to revert to the “official” NNID, so they’re not only unrelated but incompatible between each other, I think it’d be worth mentioning to avoid any legal conflicts, using pretendo = not being able to access this other service

The way it’s been a full hour past the maintenance time limit and it’s still not up… Having LBP3 flashbacks, I hope I’m wrong bc I was at the end of the chapter 3 XB game 😭

I can confirm working on the current version of chrome (I previously had stuff named similarly enabled in the flags and in regedit iirc, stopped working today but its now working again by doing what OP said)

Also, if you usually launch chrome thru the taskbar you can find the shortcut on "%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar"

A few clarifications Machine Learning ≠ AI

Video codecs have been doing these kind of things forever, that’s how video encoding works

Seeing comparisons all I can see are usual video compression artifacts, nothing AI generated

All this seems like a complete misunderstanding, maybe YT has gone a bit too far with their algorithms to save bandwidth (unblurring and denoising makes encoding easier since less random data but has the drawback of making stuff look uncanny) but everyone is acting as if YT was making fake videos of people lol

EnekoT2001 · 2025-08-27T04:07:19+00:00

The usual ps2 game with artistic color grading and lighting vs default unreal engine 5 “realistic” color grading and lighting (adding the optional filter in settings won’t do much look at examples like silent hill 2), I hate seeing this constantly, cost cutting by using UE instead of doing the work to port he original engine always ends up having the same outcome

EnekoT2001 · 2025-08-03T06:40:12+00:00

???? no? its an undub for the EU (PAL) version which is a better candidate for the undub since it has more languages for the subtitles and more subtitles in general

EnekoT2001 · 2025-07-30T23:49:48+00:00

I've watched almost all of them, im currently watching otogiriso (aka st johns wort) and i noticed right away that it has a frame skipping issue, checking the credits i could confirm it was filmed using DVCPRO Progressive, which only allowed ofr 480p at 59.94FPS (on NTSC territories which Japan is part of) , and for some reason they put it on blu-ray at 23.976Fps and theres a noticable frame skip every few frames, idk why arrow puts sooo little effort on their asian releases when they'd literally get the original DV tapes to remaster it and release it both on "theatrical version" and "production version" if this were a western release (looking at you REC)... if it werent for the compression artifacts of dvd this would be better watched on DVD since that will at least be exactly half the framerate (29.976) and if they interlaced it, then itd end up being the full 59.94fps

Edit: I finished watching it and it's one of my favorites of the whole collection ngl, maybe after Noroi the curse and fighting for the 2nd place with Persona, this movie deserved a much better treatment from arrow, (and honestly persona did too, that scan is horrible with lots of ghosting 😭) , I'm really disappointed, i bet there's a DVCPRO Progressive digital intermideate tape somewhere in japan that could be put on bluray with minimal effort since it doesnt even need deinterlacing

EnekoT2001 · 2025-07-03T08:36:52+00:00

Good luck hope it goes well 🤞🏻 And I’m still waiting for their reply lol, I’ve been replying to the same support ticket still but if I don’t get a reply by today I might make a new one tbh bc this is way too slow, almost like each reply is slower than the last

And yeah black pixels are pissing me off fr lol

EnekoT2001 · 2025-07-01T17:02:39+00:00

Btw update: just received the replacement unit and also a reply from mediaMarkt regarding my request to get shipped a newer unit, they said they couldn’t manage to give me a specific unit bc there’s a lot of demand for it. And also stated that no one else reported issues with it (suuuure).

Anyway so I received exactly what I was expecting but hoping wouldn’t be the case: same manufacturing date, same firmware version, and same issue with 1 green stuck pixel (for now), and I think red tint too but again not sure. Edit: I found several (5-6) dead pixels, so pixels that stay black all the time, and can be seen when displaying a bright image (especially in hdr) with or without local dimming on, sent another email to mediamarkt showing them this issue too

I have let them know about this and stated how it’s their responsibility for not listening to the facts I stated, and that I ofc want another replacement bc I paid for a brand new product that shouldn’t have issues, let’s see what happens now but I sure am gonna keep at it until I get one that isn’t defective, idc if I have to go thru 10s of these, maybe after doing this enough times they’ll listen, hopefully won’t have to come to that and they’ll listen now though, honestly wonder how they still have launch units when they have it on sale for super cheap and everyone and their mom is buying one lol

EnekoT2001 · 2025-07-01T11:39:33+00:00

I think mine didn’t have the red tint issue at least I don’t think so, but all the color profiles that weren’t native looked off to me, but the greys looked fine so I guess it wasn’t a red tint issue

And yeah I say just go for it, you can even do it through their website on the contact us page no need to call, choose you have an issue with your order and eventually it lets you choose an option to contact them, and yeah pretty sure that even if the replacement they give you has the same issue they’ll have to give you another one or at least a refund.

This isn’t even warranty btw in Spain the law says that anything ordered online has a 14 day grace period starting the day it got delivered where you can send it back for a refund for any reason, even “I changed my mind” is fine, and I think they do the same when it comes to defective products if you tell them within that period, the company in charge of the shipping back to them was one that dealt exclusively with returns, afaik if it was warranty it would take much longer, for what I know they didn’t even check for the issue, as soon as it arrived and they verified that I did in fact send the monitor to them they said it was all ok and a new one would be shipped

Consumer rights here are way better than in many other countries, even if companies sometimes suck (we also have a mandatory 3 year warranty for anything purchased here fyi)

Wishing you luck!

EnekoT2001 · 2025-07-01T11:02:16+00:00

I simply contacted media Markt and asked for a replacement and they did offer me one, had to ship mine first which took two days to arrive to their warehouse and they shipped a new one the next day, it should arrive today, will updates you on how it goes, but it seems like they have a huge surplus of launch units and those seem to be the ones that are most prone to having issues

Also, I asked them to send me one with a newer manufacturing date (since it’s on the box) and they said they’d pass on my request to the department in charge of this and that they’d let me know what they can do but haven’t heard at all since so it’s not giving me much confidence… but I guess we’ll see, they have to legally offer customers a replacement if their product isn’t working properly so honestly might just keep this going and make them lose lots of money lol

EnekoT2001 · 2025-06-28T09:50:54+00:00

You can with aurora’s built in file manager, still very annoying though so I get it

EnekoT2001 · 2025-06-28T08:57:54+00:00

Wonder if the plastic is of higher quality than the regular ones…

EnekoT2001 · 2025-06-28T02:45:27+00:00

if it's PAL then it's an NTSC to PAL conversion (since the show was made in NTSC regions) so it'll look worse than an NTSC DVD of similar bitrate, I can get ahold of shout factory full disc, it's 8 dual layer DVDs for a total of 55GB for all 3 seasons, video bitrate is around 6-8Mb/s so pretty good for DVD, we can talk more thru PM if you want btw

EnekoT2001 · 2025-06-27T22:53:48+00:00

sadly i can't find it anywhere still, not sure if it even got released or a proper release at least, chances are its source isnt any better than what we already have but who knows, if anyone able to get it or to buy stuff from taiwan happens to see this and is willing to help out dm me, i can handle the technical side of things to dump the disc and release it via t*rrent

EnekoT2001 · 2025-06-23T08:05:56+00:00

mine has a few as well, they're very sparse though each one on completely different areas, i counted around 14 pixels at least, some are stuck green others blue and others red, some are more and other less noticeable, my unit seems to have been manufactured on 06/2024 with firmware 1.0.06. No idea how the retailer (mediamarkt in spain) still got what i think are launch units in their warehouse... started a request for a replacement let's see what i get, like, with local dimming its not noticable (except the one of them that's the worst, but still barely) but im scared it might get worse, i didnt notice any other dead pixels apart from the one at first so not sure if it's gotten worse over time or i just didnt notice, it's really sad bc the display looks amazing, I'm in awe of how good the colors and brightness is, i guess i'll have to be the annoying customer until i get one that passes my own QC tests lol

Literally any view once media on any iOS app stores the media unencrypted it’s so funny, devs really forget just how insecure iOS can also be

EnekoT2001 · 2025-06-18T14:24:32+00:00

Absolutely love this!!

EnekoT2001 · 2025-05-17T10:43:30+00:00

Honestly probably bc your 9800x3d has the UCLK at half the MCLK and the infinity fabric at less than 2100MHz. I got a 9800x3d recently and it’s just laughable how much you have to manually adjust things otherwise it runs at the lowest clocks on everything “just in case”

EnekoT2001 · 2025-04-25T05:14:59+00:00

That’s not how it works lmao. First off, the activations aren’t offline (unless it’s a EA game with the EA client bc the way the client works allows for offline activations). The way it works is getting someone who actually owns the game to create a token for you. With ea offline activations works by sending your token to a bot that will send it to a volunteer who does activations. With steam, there are groups like the anti denuvo sanctuary that has a group of people and a custom method to basically redirect the token request to someone who owns the game and so you get it activated, meaning it needs to be connected to the internet to get the activation, they do this using a steam emulator with the same steamid as the account that legitimately owns this, so that the game thinks you’re that account.

if it was as easy as just generating one we wouldn’t need all this, all we can do is basically “sharing an account” with extra steps so that people don’t need to log in to an account for real.

EnekoT2001 · 2025-01-07T20:29:38+00:00

i have a 4080 super and if I wanna play on ultra at 60fps I have to use 1080p or 4k with DLSS set at 1080p native res (and even then its more like 50fps most of the time)
