Project mention: Show HN: CompressX, my FFmpeg wrapper for macOS, made $9k in the last 4 months | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-10GPL2
Since FFmpeg is GPL2, doesn’t that require CompressX to disclose its source code?
IANAL, apologies if I miss understand license requirements.
Project mention: What's the state of screen-sharing games to friends on linux? | /r/linux_gaming | 2023-06-26
The hardware encoders are very fast and generally better than x264 (but not by as much as you'd think with the x264 slow preset).
In addition, there are threaded AV1 encoders you may be overlooking, like SVT-AV1. For non-realtime, my favorite is av1an, which also yields better quality than is possible from aomenc: https://github.com/master-of-zen/Av1an
Project mention: Raspberry Pi 5 drops codec hardware acceleration except for HEVC decode | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-30Most devices can indeed most likely handle software decode of more common resolutions, codecs and bitrates. But I'd really hope they'd pick the one that won't suck up all the battery, so H264. This line of thought is supported by the fact that YouTube still provides an H264 option with most if not all videos.
With higher bitrate things, HEVC seems to grow in popularity but even software decode support is not everywhere. Netflix for example requires the installation of HEVC support on Windows to play 4K content.
Actually hardware-accelerated video decode is even spottier and more unreliable across most platforms. The JS API for codec support (canPlayType) literally returns "maybe" and "probably". It's quite bad.
So far the best compatibility I've seen has been Edge with flags on Windows (MPEG-2, H264, HEVC, AV1, VP8, VP9 with most also supporting accelerated encode). It still fails with some content (Dolby Vision P5 colors are incorrect, HEVC Rext doesn't play - more info about HEVC is available here https://github.com/StaZhu/enable-chromium-hevc-hardware-deco...). Chrome on macOS is a close second in terms of codec support.
The worst in terms of HW acceleration being all the browsers on desktop Linux-s, few and fragile combinations that offer limited and janky support. But it's slowly improving. This combined with the not-the-latest hardware many use, means things like VP9 or AV1 tend to stutter.
I'd love to see some more generic stats, but considering the APIs aren't sufficient to determine actual support, these might be difficult to gather.
It's not quite a GUI, but I usually refer to https://alfg.dev/ffmpeg-commander/.
