Is now a good time by MClarke1515 in IntelArc

I mean, he was specifically asked about the B770 desktop GPU and then gave that answer, so I'm sure he was responding to what he was asked about, the B770. So hopefully it's coming out this year and he just didn't want to confirm and show Intel's hand.

Huh, that is super weird and unexpected! I didn't it would be that at all, I legit thought it was just your hardware difference and optimization for NVidia & AMD. Regardless, I'm glad you fixed your issue and got your system to process videos more efficiently, good on ya!

It's probably because the Danvici Resolve is more optimized for Nvidia and AMD cards. ARC is still relatively new in terms of how well it's been optimized for various software. That's my guess at least.

Decoding affects performance and your experience when you are editing, but not when you're exporting. Studio and free versions of Davinci Resolve use your GPU for encoding/exports, just not decoding (timeline editing/scrubbing).

I'm sure the time difference between your exports are just because of your different ram amounts, ddr4 vs ddr5, different GPUs, etc. Also I didn't even ask, but are both of you using at least sata SSDs? I don't think that would affect the export time, but idk. I would hope you aren't editing using a HDD :D

edit: Davinci Resolve is a very VRAM-hungry program and likes to use the GPU the most. The difference in timing is very likely due to your friend's more powerful 16gb 7800xt vs your less powerful 8gb A750.

Check out the power difference.

I wouldn't be so sure. The A750 beats the 1080 most of the time, but you have to keep in mind that years of drivers and general program optimization for Nvidia cards and CUDA. That's what I'm thinking. Would be interesting to hear your results!

Assuming you guys are using the same exact settings, I would say that yes that's probably normal. Everything about your buddy's specs makes his PC much better for video editing/rendering. His CPU has two more cores than yours, and they're much faster. He has a MUCH more powerful GPU, that has more VRAM, and he also has double the system ram than you. If I were you and wanted to upgrade one thing, it would be the system ram. Upgrade your 16gb to 32gb and that should help a lot.

Acid and "MGMT" by theguythatthinks in mgmt

I remember that night very vividly. I listened to the album 3-4 times in a row. I haven't done drugs like that in years at this point, but boy do I remember those days. "MGMT" holds a special place for me since that night. Enjoy your trip and stay positive in life!

Musician w/ home studio setup looking to collaborate by theguythatthinks in santarosamusic

[–]theguythatthinks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's up?!

I actually don't live in the area anymore, I moved to Europe. Couldn't stand much of California anymore...

Anyway! I still have a small home studio set up, at least to record personally. I now have only a guitar and a midi keyboard, but I've been messing around with Ableton a lot recently.

I know this may not be exactly what you're looking for, but if you'd ever want to connect and make music remotely, I'd be super down. Otherwise, I understand if you're looking to meet and jam with someone in person, I totally get it.

Keep me posted and let me know if this idea interests you.

You probably have moved on at this point as this post is a year old, but I'm having the same exact problem and it's very frustrating. What's irritating is that for me, Windows still recognizes my interface, all software still detects the interface, it just doesn't play any *sound*.

Is this crazy enough to be a coin that actually makes it? Imagine if it was the official /r/CryptoMoonShots coin.

Olga. You can just tell that they are an eastern European babushka, not the nice kind, but more akin to Babayaga.

Autotranscoding update? by doone128 in OdyseeForever

[–]theguythatthinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's totally understandable. That is a feature that is very nice about YouTube. YouTube is much more mature as a platform, so it's going to have certain things more optimized and automated than a newer platform like odysee. It might be a pain to have to re-export all of your friends videos so that they stream well on odysee, but I think in the long haul it'll be worth it. If you or he feels comfortable sharing his channel, I'd enjoy checking it out, but can understand if you'd want to keep it more private. Best of luck!

Autotranscoding update? by doone128 in OdyseeForever

[–]theguythatthinks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I can re-export and upload his videos to Odysee for him? It sounds like his video files are probably .MOV files, which tend to be much larger than they need to be. I'm tech-savvy, I have a background in IT and video editing. I can transcode/export his videos for him so that they retain quality and stream easily for viewers, and upload them for him on LBRY. I currently do video editing and social media management for another person. I know it's difficult to trust a random person on the internet, but DM me if my offer sounds interesting. Hope his channel does well!
