Ok cool. I was just doing a few encodings manually today and was working on my own encoding application that would be specifically for us usage, but maybe this will be fine as well. Thanks for the work.

Does this support changing color spaces when going from 4k HDR to 1080? I tried this with ffmpeg manually, but gave up and use handbrake.

I’m trying Aurora on a Dell with Amd. I had the bitlocker issue coming from windows 11 that slowed the installation process. The os seems fine, I’ve used Mint and Ubuntu. I spent a good hour trying to get my flatpak apps to show up in the launcher, so that wasn’t fun.

While I like the concept of keeping the os immutable and all apps running in a container, I’m not sure this is the best setup for me. I feel less in control which I have become used to under other distros.

Anyway, I’ll stick with it a bit more and see how it goes. Battery life is good and everything else seems to be working.

Encoding to AV1 is good to cooking CPUs.

Street fighter 2 turbo on SNES is my jam.

I don’t place my speakers in the right spots, but luckily (like Sonos and others) room correction software really helps with this. Especially after A1Evo.

Soundbars are a great solution really, I never understood the negativity towards them. It’s all I recommend to my friends as I know they are unable to comprehend what a receiver is and then what speakers to get and let’s not go into subs.

Where you rocking the vcr+ codes or manually recording?

Does this mean review/benchmarking sites need to reevaluate all chips after os updates or at least publish the versions used while testing?

What’s the keyboard in the back?

That’s true as well. I’m using an older 7th gen Intel for remuxing, but do software AV1 encodes which take like 11 hours lol

Good move.

I find software reencoding/remux instead of doing it on the fly is easier for my brain to manage over alignment of the hardware stars.

I have this all the time when I’m on my mullvald vpn. Makes me want to not use it half the time :(

Yep, I’m familiar with the surface, but not other options. I need to check these out as I’ve been looking for a replacement for my laptop that isn’t really suited for the video encoding I’m doing.

Thanks.

Which ones are not arm ? I know the surface is a good example.

A table is typically an ARM based platform, so using MS products like visual studio can be a challenge, but there are web versions that help.

I think video encoding isn’t too polished on tablets as it is on a Linux/Windows PC .

I don’t know all the use cases where a table doesn’t work, but they do exist.

A tablet doesn’t cover all use cases for college work, but I suppose with the push for cloud computer instances this could actually work.

If you go to engineering school, you’ll need a computer eventually to run various software. I’m not sure about other degrees however.

I recommend getting 1x16g and then getting another 16g when you have some more cash.

You can run Windows in a VM or try wine.
