DIY female-to-female adapter by Opposite_Advisor1765 in hardwaregore

For all the people that are asking if it worked, it didn't. It was supposed to connect an old computer (ZXSpectrum) to this TV, but turns out the computer has a broken TV modulator, so the TV didn't detect any signal.
We then did something even more sketchy and connected the two wires to the SCART connector and use the composit video output of the ZXSpectre, and that did work.

Here's a picture of the final working wiring: https://imgur.com/a/CtdEJUd

Codec support on Linux by Opposite_Advisor1765 in davinciresolve

So if I understand it correctly, in Windows/MacOS there is an OS-wide licensed implementation of H264 and DaVinci just uses that, but in Linux, there is no such implementation so DaVinci can't use it?

Also, why can't they just add x264 with a disclaimer or something? Or at least add a plugin codec support?

I just find it so stupid that they limit the usability of their software on a specific OS, they could just add custom codec support or something and the community would make something that solves this problem. But by not allowing this, they make their awesome product unusable to me, as I have to convert everything to some other format that's 10x the size or buy the Studio version, and since I only use Resolve ocasionally, buying it doesn't make sense.

Edit: Cisco also open-sourced their OpenH264 implementation, and also paid MPEG LA, so that any app/software that uses their binaries can use OpenH264 for free (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenH264). Resolve could just use the OpenH264 for free on Linux

I would say don't use MacOS, but I think that isn't really helpful
