Another insightful SVT-AV1 benchmark on the Codec Wiki! wiki.x266.mov/blog/svt-av1-sec

Explore more insightful benchmarking of the latest SVT-AV1 2.1.0 encoder and how it fares when encoding animation. The author, Trix, spared no expense in creating an incredible number of detailed graphs to support their conclusions about which settings are the best and why. Give it a read!

Aviator v0.6.0! github.com/gianni-rosato/aviat

> Aviator has been migrated to use newer libadwaita widgets, 5.1(side) audio encoding is fixed, and variance boost updates and optimizations in SVT-AV1-PSY improve encoding efficiency, eliminate artifacts, and provide significant speed boosts across various presets.

Hi everyone! I wanted to introduce Av1an Command Generator, a relatively simple tool I wrote in Zig for generating Av1an commands for #AV1 #encoding based on a limited set of parameters. GitHub link is below:

github.com/gianni-rosato/av1an

The bar to entry for understanding effective Av1an scripting is very high simply because there are a lot of well-documented ways to incorrectly set your parameters and very few who know what is psychovisually optimal. I am not one of those few, but because I know members of the AV1 community who've poured great time and effort into researching this kind of stuff, I am able to build from what they've learned. My more advanced tool, rAV1ator CLI, is also based on this research. I hope you enjoy!

I would like to share a very cool project I've been working on with a couple of other very talented developers: SVT-AV1 PSY

github.com/gianni-rosato/svt-a

SVT-AV1-PSY is the Scalable Video Technology for AV1 (SVT-AV1 Encoder and Decoder) with perceptual enhancements for psychovisually optimal AV1 encoding. The goal is to create the best encoding implementation for perceptual quality with AV1.

We've already implemented a couple of unique features not present in mainline that do appear to produce BD-rate gains on a number of clips already!! Please check it out!

**Browser maker love-in snubs next-gen image format**

"*... Interop 2024 omits JPEG XL, the most popular proposal as measured by community reactions (emojis added to proposal discussion threads). JPEG XL garnered 646 reactions, more than four times more than the second place finisher, which also wasn't included.*"

An unfortunate conclusion from a clearly biased group that is supposed to be unbiased. Unfortunate, unclear decision making from Interop this year.

According to fedidb.org/software/mastodon/v, 39.6% of Mastodon servers still haven't upgraded to 4.2.5, 4.1.13, or 3.5.17 which fixes a critical bug allowing any account on their server to be taken over!

According to Eugen Rochko on github.com/mastodon/mastodon/s:

"This advisory will be edited with more details on 2024/02/15, when admins have been given some time to update, as we think any amount of detail would make it very easy to come up with an exploit."

Admins: update ASAP!
