- malnourish 9y agoNow to get HDR monitors
- byproxy 9y agoAnd a GPU that can output 10-bit color.
- ttoinou 9y agoAnd ProRes 4444 playback. Thanks !!
- etix 9y agoDCP support is there too :)
- ttoinou 9y agoThat's great ! Merci Ludovic
- baldfat 9y agoNow can we transcode video into ProRes 4444 (Seriously doubt that since Apple kind of makes it only encoding on MacOS or OS X)
- ttoinou 9y agoVLC doesn't care about US patents
- LeoPanthera 9y agoYou can encode to ProRes 4444 with ffmpeg. -vcodec prores_ks -pix_fmt yuva444p10le -profile:v 4444
- baldfat 9y agohttps://discussions.apple.com/thread/8203516 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8203516 At the end of the App ProRes White Paper released earlier this morn there's an explicit warning about using ffmpeg: In some instances, unauthorized codec implementations have been used in third-party software and hardware products. Using any unauthorized implementation (like the FFmpeg and derivative implementations) may lead to decoding errors, performance degradation, incompatibility, and instability. This means Perian and other software that might use ffmpeg in some form. Clearly it's not working with the current OS and causing problems with AV Foundation, which QuickTime and FCP rely on.
- ttoinou 9y agoI have studied this last year. Yes there are some decoding bugs sometimes. I have seen them in After Effects in some special case that you can avoid, and in some Blackmagic hardware. No issue in in most softwares (Quicktime, FCP, Adobe softwares, DaVinci etc.). Note : we are not sure the bugs comes from ffmpeg. We fixed a bug last year in the alpha encoding of ProRes 4444, since then we didn't find anything wrong besides that you should use -q 1 (Quality 1, with 4 you can have a little blur in subtle background patterns). TL;DR : everything is fine but don't use it for broadcast.
- qubex 9y agoIs streamcasting to Chromecast only supported on Android?
- jayd16 9y agoNo, its under Playback > Renderer. Its a little clunky because it has to scan for network devices but I'm still very excited about it.
- eikenberry 9y ago> * VLC supports browsing of local network drives and NAS Looking forward to trying this on my Amazon Fire instead of having to sideload Kodi to watch videos on my fileserver.
- butterfi 9y ago"Vetinari"? Like, Lord Vetinari? Just when I thought I couldn't love you guys any more...
