Me opening /dev/urandom as a raw video stream to watch some nice relaxing RGB static.
Weird. Anytime I do that I get Rick rolled.
FFmpeg enters the chat
Yeah, guess where vlc gets all that muscle…
I once thought of a movie while coughing into a microphone. I opened the recorded cough with VLC and it played the movie.
Mpv is better
It runs better, but VLC is much more user friendly
shrugs idk. Vlc has more features. Not sure I’d call it easier.
Tell your parents to set mpv to loop a video and see how it goes
Such beings do not deserve to use computers. We’re talking about humans here, not our monkey ancestors.
I just discovered something that VLC REALLY didn’t like to play. A 4K50fps JPEG2000 YUV444 12bit lossless ~48 GB video that was only 1 minute long.
To be fair the bitrate of the video is insane at ~5700 Mbit/s. The bitrate is so insane that you should really consider using an NVME drive for playback.
MPC-HC could kinda play it but only with extreme stutter and lag. My CPU (Ryzen 9 5900x) was completely maxed out.
I think you need hardware acceleration for a video like this.
Vlc has hardware acceleration afaik. I think its more a case of the ffmpeg codec not supporting it yet because what the actual fuck haha
Forget playback. How was that video file recorded? How do you even store data that fast, let alone encode it?
JPEG2000 = not lossless
JPEG2000 supports both. That’s why I specifically said that the video is lossless
Right! Sorry, I assumed this was regular JPEG
