  2 666 4.2 Vue

• vvenc

  23 860 7.6 C++

  VVenC, the Fraunhofer Versatile Video Encoder

  

The built-in VVC decoder is dreadfully slow (a ton of optimizations are missing), VVdec is at least 2-3 times faster on anything having AVX2/SSE4.

If you really want to give VVC a try, better stay with version 6.1.1 as it's the last one which has patches for enabling VVdec. I won't be able to apply them to version 7.0/git master:

• needle

  3 9 0.0 Rust

  A CLI tool that finds a needle (opening/intro and ending/credits) in a haystack (TV or anime episode). (by aksiksi)

I used this wrapper to implement an opening and ending detection tool for “fun” [1].

However, it seems that many programs opt to instead shell out to the ffmpeg CLI. I think it’s usually simpler than linking against the library and to avoid licensing issues. But there are some cases where the CLI doesn’t cut it.

• ffmpeg.wasm

  76 12,983 8.9 C

  FFmpeg for browser, powered by WebAssembly

  

There's a low-hanging fruit that I think would make ffmpeg more helpful for regular people.

There's a million terrible websites that offer file conversion services. They're ad-ridden, with god-knows-what privacy/security postures. There's little reason for users to need to upload their files to a third-party when they can do it locally. But getting them to download fiddly technical software is tough - and they're right to mistrust it.

So, there's a WASM version of ffmpeg, already working and hosted at Netlify [1]. It downloads the WASM bundle to your browser and you can run conversions/transformations as you wish, in your browser. Sandboxed and pretty performant too!

If this tool a) was updated regularly b) had a nicer, non-CLI UI for everyday users and c) was available at an easily-Googlable domain name - it would solve all the problems I mentioned above.

• macports-ports

  8 1,455 10.0 Tcl

  The MacPorts ports tree

  

I was curious if it was just some kind of horrific backlog but there didn't seem to be an oppressive number of PRs open, although it seems the new submissions drag their feet quite a bit https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pulls?q=is%3Apr+i...

Also, it seems there is currently one in progress to drop the "6" qualifier on the ffmpeg binaries <https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/23315/files> so it'll be fascinating to see if any new ffmpeg7 then subsequently puts the "7" back, beginning the cycle again
