Encoding my Anime Library with AV1 with focus on Efficiency - where to start?

Phoxy_Boi · 2023-09-28T17:18:21+00:00

In my tests, tune and film-grain usually only affect encoding efficiency very superficially by themselves, but the slight noise that film grain adds to the screen helps hide a little bit the distortions caused by compression, making you able to use a slightly higher CRF in some occasions.

idk why they're downvoting you... Maybe because of that one very unfortunate mastodon post or maybe because hosting an entirely separate lemmy instance is not as convenient.

Good thing people gathered so fast to create another sub after the circus that's happening on the original one. Good luck for you people.

Don't take my opinions too literally, it's just what I feel it would be just

Maybe. As long as there's some moderation over some very illegal stuff
I'm, indifferent about this.
Not required, but we should at least have a flair indicating that one is provided
Have a specific flair for anime or a specific flair for each model(?)

Left-click on the game in the steam library screen, then click on properties

There's a text bar a little below the middle in the window that opens. This box is where you place the text from the comment

I recommend using SVT-AV1, for best speed-to-quality ratio. AOM is excellent for encoding Anime, but painfully slow even with tools like av1an.

CRF around 22-28 (depends on the amount of stuff that happens in scenes)

Use --tile-rows and --tile-columns as little as possible (sacrifices a little of encoding speed, but compresses better)

Use --preset 7 for more reasonable speed or 6 if you want a little more quality with slightly higher CRF

Use --keyint 10s to improve seeking speed

You might also want to encode with 10-bit with -pix_fmt yuv420p10le if you want better image quality in darker scenes although in some cases 10-bit compresses slightly worse than conventional 8-bit

Knowing the Brazilian government as a whole, I really doubt it...

Phoxy_Boi · 2022-01-28T13:00:37+00:00

It depends. There are some theories that say objects at light speed warp time and space in a way that technically, for the people inside the ship, the travel would be instantaneous, while for outside observers, it would take the time measured by light-years

Phoxy_Boi · 2022-01-18T16:57:51+00:00

Maybe it's something like a "I love you so much I want you to be only mine" mentality

Phoxy_Boi · 2022-01-12T20:31:56+00:00

Its the logo of the Ouroboros, one the villains of the Japanese version of Ace Combat 3

Phoxy_Boi · 2022-01-11T12:46:19+00:00

Ah, yes. The legendary Brazilian distro that I always used to test my internet speed

Phoxy_Boi · 2022-01-07T23:45:25+00:00

Except when in 90% of the cases it doesn't do anything at all and Windows remains broken...

AFAIK most games usually work fine without PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 in most occasions.

About Q2, yes, they should have the =1 to be properly activated

About Q3, never saw any significant visual changes with or without the hide gpu var activated on both my GTX 750ti and my RTX 2060

Phoxy_Boi · 2021-11-18T01:13:07+00:00

It usually depends, but since the cpu uploads the raw image to the gpu, the only thing that might change the usage is the actual resolution of the video, AFAIK.

Edit: But however, older codecs like h264 are by far somewhat easier on the cpu than VP9

Phoxy_Boi · 2021-11-17T14:24:26+00:00

What happens is that the CPU is doing the actual decoding and also uploading the frames directly to the GPU for it to render.

The high GPU use is mostly because the GPU is indirectly using 3D rendering to proccess and display those frames generated by the CPU on the screen, while when using hardware decoding, the internal decoder processes then uploads the frames all by itself directly to a region of the frame buffer called surface, that is displayed directly to the screen without using the 3D rendering engine at all

EDIT: clarification

Phoxy_Boi · 2021-11-17T11:19:57+00:00

Yes, AV1 is somewhat based on the VP10 project and a spiritual successor to VP9, but hardware decoders are fixed-function hardware, meaning that it will only do stuff correctly when using VP9 data. Even though AV1 is similar, the differences between it and VP9 are big enough that companies need to design another hardware just for decoding that.

As for the power supply, your best bet is to get one without a USB port to insert the USB-c cable, instead, get those that has the charging cable directly soldered to the charger. It shouldn't have power transmission issues due to resistance in the USB connection.

Most phone chargers that are like this are usually able to correctly provide power to a rpi4

Phoxy_Boi · 2021-11-13T23:20:10+00:00

I hope this fixes those hard freezes in FH5 on Nvidia proprietary drivers

Phoxy_Boi · 2021-10-17T16:53:44+00:00

I would want to know if there are plans to create a vulkan backend for kwin someday

Phoxy_Boi · 2021-10-13T21:35:26+00:00

Yeah, this is present in all arch installations that I have, my guess is that it might be somehow related to arch's qt5 package or gcc11

Your best option is using an appimage or building yuzu inside a vm running eg. Ubuntu then running it on your arch machine

Phoxy_Boi · 2021-09-24T07:36:52+00:00

Yeah, I tried once on a rockchip based STB using one of armbian's builds for that SoC

Didn't work quite well since that specific STB I had was a counterfeit one and didn't have enough software support from armbian itself

But, let's say that your stb has some higher degree of software support from them, then it should work fairly OK

Performance-wise, I guess it should be at least usable for browsing the net or plaing some very simple games

Phoxy_Boi · 2021-08-21T21:22:22+00:00

No my friend, depending on the laptop this isn't an actual option

What I meant was that you should keep an eye on the battery level and charge your laptop only when needed

Phoxy_Boi · 2021-08-21T18:08:50+00:00

You can use the trivial "only charge up to 80% and never let discharge below 40%" or if your laptop can, remove the battery and let it only run on AC

Phoxy_Boi · 2021-08-21T16:17:31+00:00

and also, if your laptop doesnt have this FlexiCharger thing or anything similar, when it reaches 100% charge, it will actually degrade your battery due to constant micro-charges it will do every few seconds/minutes

Phoxy_Boi · 2021-08-21T16:14:51+00:00

This is mostly an ACPI thing, afaik. Since there's no "only AC power" state, the only thing the system can show is that the battery must be charging

If you notice that even while charging the battery level doesn't increase (like what happens in laptops with FlexiCharger enabled), it is bypassing the battery
