  • FFmpeg School of Assembly Language
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Feb 2025
    Intrinsics have the disadvantages of asm (non-portable) but also don't reliably have the advantages of them (compilers are pretty unpredictable about optimizing with them) and they're ugly (especially x86 with its weird Hungarian stuff).

    There is just a little bit of intrinsics code in ffmpeg, which I wrote, that does memory copies.

    https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavutil/x86/i...

    It's like this because we didn't want to hide the memory accesses from the compiler, because that hurts optimization, as well as memory tools like ASan.

  • More storage for media : organize files using ChatGPT : part 2, converting JPEG to HEIC
    3 projects | dev.to | 29 Oct 2024
    Still no HEIC. Let's get the latest build from master. I have installed: ffmpeg-2024-10-24-git-153a6dc8fa-full_build.7z after having checked SHA256. Still no HEIC. Let's check the github of ffmpeg and it seems that HEIC is not listed in the ffmpeg image formats HEIC is not supported...read the manual before diving into the implementation.
  • How we edited 175 conference videos in 5 hours

    This gave me the full video on my hard drive. There is also a feature in yt-dlp to download a certain time segment of a video but it seemed unreliable and I also have to use ffmpeg to add intro and outro videos in any case.
  • GIF App Development – How to Develop GIF Encoding
    2 projects | dev.to | 4 Aug 2024
    Fortunately, you don’t always need to go to so low level of abstraction when you develop GIF encoding in your app. One of the most popular libraries for image/video encoding is FFmpeg. Android developer-friendly version is not provided officially. However, some wrappers do exist. At the time of writing one of the most popular is Mobile FFmpeg. Something like this will be probably all you need when you just want to produce GIF out of some input source.
