Thank you for your TED Talk. I had no idea about the creator of AVIF or anything, BUT, I still really like that I can just use the same knowledge when it comes to transcoding jpegs/whatever to it. It uses the same codec, same parameters, supports animations, is like 1/100th the size of gifs...
I guess webp can do that latter part as well, but having a single tool able to do these things is neat in my opinion. (Please don't come at me, systemd haters)
I think jxl also supports waaaaay higher resolutions and everything. So yeah, fair argument that I'm not, in any way, against.
Compression and accessibility are just really fascinating things to me, and I'm sure once the next huge, well-supported thing, comes around, so will I.

I converted most of my images to .jxl. It's been pretty nice.

I wonder how we're feeling for HEIC? Any drama/pros/cons I should know of? As AAPLs weight is behind, I wonder if we'll get browser wars for this decades' image formats.

I've tried all three! SVT flies in comparison to AOM on my 5800X.
Still playing around with ffmpeg settings, film grain synthesis and planning on properly checking out av1an.
I just love the codec so much, tiny bitrates but still beautiful. Then I learned .avif uses the same libraries as well and takes up like 1/10th of what my pngs do. (played around with webp/m before, pretty impressed with that as well..)
Wonderful stuff

av1an with its dark scene boost/per scene tuning is the best.

It works with x265 (or hardware encoders) too.

bring back .3gp to share with your classmates

Just download it in tiff 16bit

In Voyager, everything works.

I could be wrong, but isn't the idea that it removes the film grain to aid compressing the ""actual"" image behind the grain, and then the player adds the grain back in during playback?

The way you say it makes it sound like you want to compress the grain itself, and that sounds to me like a "I like the vinyl crackle in my digital media" take. Not that that's a bad thing, everyone has preferences, but it's also unlikely that AV1 (or any codec for that matter) was designed with the preservation of accurate film grain in mind.

I'm no expert on the grain side, but Netflix had a nice writeup about its power.

I also heard that when you use film grain, you should disable the denoising done on the output to properly preserve detail in the encoding. Which depends on the encoder, but should generally be possible on the ones that do film grain.

But it might not be as good for artistic film grain that doesn't fit normal "grain" in videos.

Software encoders are better for archiving as they are more efficient with their bitrate. You either get better quality with the same size or a smaller file than hardware encoders.

What if I offload it to my 487?

I think FileFlows is better. I used tdarr for a few years, but I couldn't get back into it after I had an m.2 burn itself out and I didn't have good backups. I tired to set it back up and didn't have enough patience to get it working again, and FileFlows was a drop in replacement that required minimal setup to get everything running again.

wow that's bad ass, can we game on that ? What about running private-ish AI ?

There are still a lot of issues with adaptation of HEVC, especially with chromium based browsers on linux. Probably due to the patent fees or... whatever.

This isn't just a Brave issue, but affects basically all Chromium forks other than Thorium and... the other one I forgot the name of lol.
I can't play any of the example hevc encodes, regardless of used flags/arguments. Vaapi set up correctly, and working everywhere else.

BUT, for the one person on here with the same issue, using Jellyfin. Thorium browser gets updated once in a blue moon, but does have a workaround for HEVC decoding, and if you don't wanna use that, Jellyfin Media Player seems to be using mpv as the player backend, doesn't seem to be just an electron wrapper, and works great.
Furryfox works fine too.

What?... My power just went out, are you talking about the cloudflare 404? lol
