FFmpeg 6.1 released
- m3kw9 3y agoInteresting to see Playdate video decoder in there
- timeimp 3y agoI thought so too!
- poser-boy 3y agoLooks like a bunch of Vulkan decoders and filters have been added. Nice!
- invertigo 3y agoWhat a fantastic project. It’s FOSS like this that makes the world go round. If only the original vision of the internet had been fulfilled, we’d have hundreds more projects like it.
- bagol 3y agoWhat is the original vision of the internet?

- not_your_vase 3y agoPorn. Porn everywhere. And cat videos. But mostly porn.

- msla 3y agoA government project to allow researchers to access distant mainframes.
- yrro 3y agoThat any two consenting parties may communicate directly with one another.
- mekster 3y agoWhy do people bring up some vague ideology? Imagine a world without the internet being invented, what a nice world to live now.
- victorbjorklund 3y agoEffective ways for US military to communicate between missile silos?
- anthk 3y agoAfter that, i'd say ITS and their networked machine list sharing code and cool hacks, being the proto free-software movement.
- clouddrover 3y agoThere are hundreds more projects like it. Projects like GIMP, ImageMagick, Apache, curl, GCC, LLVM, Firefox, Thunderbird, KDE, Linux, the BSDs, etc., etc. There are many massively useful things available as free and open source software.
- gspetr 3y ago>Firefox Definitely not. It certainly no longer belongs in "the original vision of the internet" category. Not when it wants to be a part of evil forces seeking to police the internet. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/we-need-more-than-deplatforming/ https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/we-need-more-than-deplat... https://www.eutimes.net/2021/01/thousands-are-uninstalling-firefox-after-developers-demand-total-internet-censorship/ https://www.eutimes.net/2021/01/thousands-are-uninstalling-f... https://reclaimthenet.org/firefox-maker-mozilla-calls-for-more-than-deplatforming https://reclaimthenet.org/firefox-maker-mozilla-calls-for-mo...
- clouddrover 3y agoBut Firefox protects you from advertising networks the best. uBlock Origin works best in Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b... Sounds like "the original vision of the internet" to me.
- daynthelife 3y agoBetter than all other major browsers != good Since the only real competition is chromium, safari, and edge, the bar is astoundingly low.
- gspetr 3y agoI initially did not want to bring this up, but Firefox literally changed my default search engine from DuckDuckGo to Google after I updated it yesterday. No opt-in, no user input, no warning, no nothing. Just shoved Google down the user's throat. Do you know where Mozilla gets its money from?
- justinclift 3y ago> RISC-V optimizations for many parts of our DSP code have been merged, with mainly the large decoders being left. Cool. Remembering the recent Phoronix RISC-V benchmarking, wonder how much of an improvement these optimisations will make...
- AzzyHN 3y agoVAAPI AV1, raw AC-4 and VVC mux and demux, hell yeah!
- NiloCK 3y agoffmpeg is absolutely wonderful, but some combination of its originating era, long history, and compatibility commitments (how many convoluted production ffmpeg scripts exist out in nature?) have made its CLI pretty rough. This is maybe "known" to the current audience, but chatGPT is an excellent soundboard for crafting ffmpeg scripts to do pretty much anything - makes the tool about 10 times as accessible to me.
- jhatemyjob 3y agoI can't speak to the CLI, but the C API is pretty stable in my experience. I just upgraded my ffmpeg dependency from a really old version to 6.1 with zero issues (except a few benign deprecated warnings)
- codeful 3y agoThank you for mentioning chatgpt, it is great way to get the job done
- garblegarble 3y agoA lot of that is essential complexity of the problem space - media is HARD: so many different specs, each one interpreted differently by each vendor. In case you're not aware, though, there has been work on improving the CLI - it was discussed on HN[1] earlier this week, and there's an excellent video[2] linked in that thread with an overview from Anton 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38160703 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38160703 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4DS3jiZhfo&t=1245s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4DS3jiZhfo&t=1245s
- NiloCK 3y agoThank you! You may be right about essential vs accidental complexity - my domain knowledge is too weak to have an opinion - I just get the subjective impression of "holy crap this makes git feel like my mother tongue".
- dcsan 3y agoAre there any good ts/js wrappers for this that make producing animations and transitions a bit easier? I find the cli args syntax hard to work with. Like pythons moviePy https://pypi.org/project/moviepy/ https://pypi.org/project/moviepy/
- 7speter 3y agoWill the vaapi av1 encoder work (well) with Intel Arc? I was trying to build ffmpeg cartwheel and was up until sunrise because I had to build some other dependency of another dependency. Meanwhile the vaapi h264 (or was it 265?) encoder played quite nice with my rdna2 card.
