Since what happened with Reddit could happen with Discord at any time (corporate greed), I started an AV1 server on Revolt. Please come check it out! Unlike discord, Revolt also supports AV1 video embeds...

some of this information may be out of date

Guide to compiling Av1an on Windows.

Download vapoursynth r57 portable from https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapoursynth/releases it's a 7z file so you should have 7-zip installed

Get Msys2 from https://www.msys2.org/, click on "download the installer" & install it with everything

Close msys2

Open msys2 mingw x64

Commands

• pacman -Syuu

this updates msys2 packages, write Y when needed and press enter, it will close the window when it finishes so open msys mingw x64 again

• pacman -S cmake git nasm python3 mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg mingw-w64-x86_64-rust mingw-w64-x86_64-lld mingw-w64-x86_64-clang mingw-w64-x86_64-make

this will install necessary stuff

Open VapourSynth32-Portable-R57.7z and copy all the libraries from \sdk\lib64 to C:\msys64\mingw64\lib

• git clone https://github.com/master-of-zen/Av1an

this downloads the Av1an source

• cd av1an

this will take the shell to the Av1an folder

This is optional but if you want a bit more of performance,(i'm talking a small bit) go in explorer to C:\msys64\home"your username"\Av1an and open Cargo.toml and edit it with your text editor of choice, i used notepad++ and in the [profile.release] section change lto = "thin" to lto = "fat", i also added opt-level = 3 but that may not be necessary

• RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo build --release

#this compiles it with march native which gives a bit of performance

Profit, the executable should be created in C:\msys64\home"your username"\Av1an\target\release

Hi everyone,

Moderators on the JPEG-XL subreddit have decided to join the Reddit blackout following Reddit’s predatory API changes. I created this Lemmy community to help continue to foster JXL community engagement as the Reddit blackout continues, and potentially create a new home for JXL discussion outside the Matrix & Discord. Reddit/Discord JXL mods will be given mod here if they ask. Here’s a link to the JXL discord (permanent invite): https://discord.gg/jpeg-xl-794206087879852103

Thanks, Gianni (gb82)

Encoder

• Improve the tradeoffs for the random access mode across presets M1-M13: (!2120)
• Speeding up the higher quality presets by 30-40%
• Improving the BD-rate by 1-4% for the faster presets
• Improve the tradeoffs for the low delay mode for both screen content and non-screen content encoding modes (!2122, !2118)
• Add a toggle to remove the legacy one-frame buffer at the input of the pipeline allowing the low delay mode to operate at sub-frame processing latencies
• Add a new API allowing the user to specify quantization offsets for a region of interest per frame

Build, cleanup and bug fixes

• Various cleanups and functional bug fixes
• Fix the startup minigop size BD-rate loss
• Add ability to run the ci-testing offline
