haha than I’m screwing something else up

I left the last sentence open ended, for comedic effect, but if you really wanna know:

I transcoded videos with ffmpeg, and tried to exit out of the bash script with ctrl C. the script was something like:

for
    ffmpeg file finishedFile;
    rm file;

my ^C broke out only from ffmpeg and before I realized what happened the file got removed and the next ffmpeg call filled my terminal. I tought the key didn’t register, or something was stuck, so I pressed it again… and again… it cost like 45minutes of footage, wasn’t that important tho.

What an awesome tool that I wish I knew sooner. Also the && operator in sh. I think you can figure out what happened.

using proton for the installer as well worked wonders for me

Can I ask: How? What do you do to install that, and don’t you mean c++ runtime? Also I’ve never tinkered with winecfg, I fear that I might break things. What are some settings that are worth looking at?

I’m asking caz I’m going crazy trying to play games on linux, if I buy them on steam it should just reportedly work, but non-steam games or cracked ones, I either have a very hard time starting, or it works, but just barely.

Oh, thanks! I’m not native so I didn’t know.

I might not be getting some joke here, but what’s a “date” in this context?

“Where do they bury the survivors?”

Can you get (almost) every single person on there? Until not facebook is unreplaceable.

There is just way to much Isekai about this. Just search some time related tag on any manga site or smth and you’ll find more than you can ever read.

I’ve seen a lot of talk about large file sizes. How can you realistically reach 200GB in text? That’s around 2*10^11 characters. Or do you guys store something else as well, like sqls of data or pictures/textures/models?

I did a transcode with -pass 1 added, and it generated an empty txt file.

how does doing a 2pass work? I’m going to be honest, I just ignored that feature. Is it worth the extra hassle? And how much longer does it take? Also do I need to run ffmpeg twice for that? Or can I just put in an argument and it’ll scan twice.

After typing all that out I realized that all this is probably easier to google/try than to ask you about it. Thanks for the info tho. I managed to get a video format where 15 minutes are 1GiB and watching it back I didn’t notice any artifacts or burry parts in 1440p 60fps.

I settled for this: ffmpeg -i "$file" -map 0:0 -c:v libsvtav1 -preset 3 -crf 23 -maxrate 85M -map 0:a -c:a copy "${file%.mp4}-av1.mp4" -y The files is still very large, but you can’t notice any artifacts or any blurry parts, I transcode it with 7fps.

Oh that’s a great tip, I set it to “indistinguishable” and it 3x-ed the (almost) same gameplay clip, but it does look the best so far. But if what you are saying is true, with the encoding the previous encoder’s artifacts, doesn’t that mean I should record in lossless?

I did try a video of my desktop doing almost nothing, and AV1 rf23 compressed it 17x. That’s nice. I’ll now try re-coding this “indistinguishable” h264 preset video and to record a lossless one and to re-code that as well.

I’ve gotten that far, but no farther

I was and am searching there I just can’t find it in the dropdown. I might be blind, but I checked multiple times.

Haha, yeah. I plan on editing them down as well when I’ll have the time.

it became 504 MiB, the original was 306.

while it was doing that I tried compressing a 50Mbps clip. And I think you’re gut feeling will be right, I managed to compress it with AV1 rf47 it got reduced to a 4th of it’s size and it looks almost the same as the 15Mbps one. However, sadly I saw how good the raw 50Mbps one looks, so I don’t think I’ll go that low. Finding the sweet spot will take forever! Also isn’t 50Mbps too high, the video looks amazing, but isn’t that abnormally high?

“15k hard” is the control h264 file rest doesn’t matter I think

but in the meantime I did some encoding to h265, and I managed to get a smaller file size however the quality sucked, so I lowered the crf and it’s larger again.
