  • Yeah I am not sure what the difficulty is tbh, but I know nothing about codecs and media encoding.

    The FR issue is here, by the way:

    Thanks for the suggestion on Staxrip, I've given it a download!

  • vhs-decode

    Software defined VHS decoder - Fork (maybe temporary) of the ld-decode Laserdisc rf decoder

  • No, I’m using an ADC modified for use with LD captures [0]. I did this because it’s cheaper in theory, although with the amount of time I’ve dumped into getting it working and keeping it working, the $500 or so for the Domesday Duplicator may well have been a better choice.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • staxrip

    🎞 Video encoding GUI for Windows.

  • Its literally a feature of all the underlying encoders. And you can do it even with exotic ffmpeg/vapoursynth filter chains. So I can't imagine why.

    TBH I would just recommend Staxrip if you are on Windows: https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip

    There is a linux equivalent, I can't remember what its called.

    Or maybe some av1an GUI for Mac/Linux. All of these things support a target file size with many more features.
