FFmpeg enters the chat

Yeah, guess where vlc gets all that muscle...

Followed by MPV doing the same

[–] sag@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Whenever someone ask me media player for Linux I suggest MPV but for Binbows I suggest VLC. I don't know why?

[–] monoboy@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I do the same because VLC has an installer on Windows while MPV you have to manually extract from a compressed folder and then run the install script from command line

Me opening /dev/urandom as a raw video stream to watch some nice relaxing RGB static.

Weird. Anytime I do that I get Rick rolled.

Mpv is better

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It runs better, but VLC is much more user friendly

[–] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

shrugs idk. Vlc has more features. Not sure I'd call it easier.

[–] lichtmetzger@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

Just use smplayer as the frontend for mpv and you're all set.

I just discovered something that VLC REALLY didn't like to play. A 4K50fps JPEG2000 YUV444 12bit lossless ~48 GB video that was only 1 minute long.

To be fair the bitrate of the video is insane at ~5700 Mbit/s. The bitrate is so insane that you should really consider using an NVME drive for playback.

MPC-HC could kinda play it but only with extreme stutter and lag. My CPU (Ryzen 9 5900x) was completely maxed out.

I think you need hardware acceleration for a video like this.

ok but why would anyone have a video like that

And the dude who maintains VLC do not even make money from it, at all!

[–] Stitch0815@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

He is also an extremly annoyed french guy who has no fucks left to give. One of the maintainers is on an episode of the FOSSPOD and it was glorious
