This looks very similar to nVidia's method. Vertigo's website says this is patented, does nVidia have prior art here? https://developer.nvidia.com/ai-video-compression

That's quite impressive; I wonder why it's not mentioned more often. The gameplay looks like Asteroids with just the saucers (not the rocks).

Replying to just your 1st paragraph: The process is: Raw input pixels (8 or 10 bit) minus predicted pixels (8 or 10 bit) -> residual pixels (8 or 10 bit + 1 sign bit). You take these residual pixels and pass them through a 2D DCT, then s

I have to agree with NVENC. I've benchmarked dozens of HW and SW encoders for quality (not just encoding speed) and it gives the best BD-Rate on average. For H.264, hardware can brute-force every possible Intra encoded macroblock and

I think a more relevant front page link/summary would be that the open-source AV-1 codec has reached the v1.0.0 milestone (18 days ago). https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/SVT-AV1/releases/tag/v1.0.0

You can see nVidia's hardware support here: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-sup... The take-away is that nVidia only has hardware support for AV1 on the RTX 3000 Ampere series cards. Intel supp

There's a slightly counter-intuitive thing with H.264 and H.265 encoding: for any given bit-rate, you'll get better quality if you encode at 10-bits instead of 8-bits, even if the source clip was 8-bit. The reason for this is the

macOS and Windows 10 have included a license for H.264 and H.265 for a few years now (encode/decode are OS API calls). Linux does not, however GPUs like Intel's QuickSync, nVidia's NVEnc/NVDec and AMD's VCEEnc&#x2F

Yep, fair enough. I'll remove the comment. Others have phrased it better.

It's been a free upgrade for as long as I can remember and there's no indication that the policy will change.

Does this method allow you to pass-through USB ports? How is it different from running an XPRA server on the remote machine?

If you know how to take advantage of Qt, then you can make real-time video player, a real-time interactive graph or whatever else you can build with Qt's framework, then deploy it to Windows, Mac or Linux as if it were a native app.

There's also Fman's Build System (FBS): https://build-system.fman.io/ It's got some very similar features to BeeWare and the author is on Hacker News somewhere...

I've used Python, Qt and BeeWare to develop an interactive tool to analyse compressed video. It's fast enough that I don't know it's not a native app. You can make some very complex applications if you learn to take ad

Yep, me too. It read like a damned advert for clean rooms towards the end.

In addition to the above, the effects of ESD are cumulative. You may think you're getting away with not following correct ESD procedures until one day something stops working and you're left wondering why, because nothing you did

I still find PuTTY very useful, but domain spammers have managed to hijack the author's official page from the top of search-engine lists.
