the build from mozilla is from 2018.

the rarewares.org build has:

1. libopus 1.4 instead of 1.3
2. modern gcc 12
3. 64-bit

Might be worth linking to https://kokomins.wordpress.com/2019/10/10/anime-encoding-guide-for-x265-and-why-to-never-use-flac/ in the meantime.

I'd at least put a warning for newfriends that encoding traditional cel-based anime (with film grain) and digital isn't the same at all.

The subtitling part of this guide is pretty barren now, so I'd like to begin by writing some guides on how to set up a basic environment for members to access and use. This will include stuff like how to use an FTP and/or GitHub, and how to use SubKt, among other things.

• Create a tutorial explaining how to make, maintain, and use an FTP server/client (#65)
• Create a tutorial explaining how to make, maintain, and use a GitHub repository/client (#65)
• Create a tutorial explaining how to use SubKt, as well as how to write a build script

In descaling section, the tutorial mentioned a way to use internal functions to generate credits masks:

descaled = kgf.inverse_scale(src, height=874, kernel='bicubic', b=0, c=1/2)
descaled_mask = kgf._generate_descale_mask(vsutil.get_y(core.resize.Spline36(src, descaled.width, descaled.height)), vsutil.get_y(descaled), kernel='bicubic', b=0, c=1/2)

However, the function has been reworked in: Irrational-Encoding-Wizardry/kagefunc@5c7cd67

Just a collection of links that can be referenced when working on topics.
Some of these are referenced in the guide already, but I'll include them for completeness sake.

Audio

  (also flac 24 is padded to 32, so it is actually double the file size of 16)

Seems like our gitbook config broke out of nothing on Travis. Will need to investigate if that is the case generally or host-related.

I'll probably switch to using github actions and maybe also yarn in the process.

The --bps option is meant to set the bits per sample to assume when reading raw input. When attempting to use it, flac should fail and output:

ERROR: raw format options (--endian, --sign, --channels, --bps, and --sample-rate) are not allowed for non-raw input

Reduction of bit-depth needs to be done before handing the wav file off to flac, probably in ffmpeg. I'm not sure what the exact ffmpeg options should be for maximal quality dithering.

We are using Screenshots of Videos (hopefully as a PNG) which are scaled down on the webpage itself.

It think this is contraproductive.

What about we make a popup that opens when you click on it (with some scaling-options so you can view the image in more detail)

I was made aware of the fact that we don't have any example image for banding. This needs to be changed.

Also many other artifacts mentioned in https://guide.encode.moe/encoding/video-artifacts.html.

This section mentions:

It used to be that different versions, namely kmod and tmod, were required for certain exclusive encoding features such as "aq-mode 3". However, all relevant features have been included in the upstream x264 builds since August 2018.

However, this is not entirely true. For example, fade-compensation and film grain optimization are not included in mainline x264.

So, I don't know exactly where oEmbed data is inferred from, but I'd like our site to have at least the page title and probably the initial paragraph in an embed preview. Hopefully there are plugins for gitbook that can do this, but I didn't look. Opening this issue so this isn't forgotten and someone who's interested knows that we'd like to have this.

We're looking for Open Graph, documented at https://ogp.me/.

[12:13] Yumifumie: 8bit and 10bit are together now (so there aren't two versions anymore) and mods are too old

kmod:

[12:42] Yumifumie: 2 versions old and probably won't get an update (newest version broke some mods)

tmod:

[12:42] Yumifumie: !!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!
Finaly the day came. The 8/10 bits unification commit breaks too much things, and some other commits, use of new ffmpeg API breaks compatibility with some patches, for which i'm obliged to stay with ffmpeg 2.8.x. So, now, even if the 7z files and the version is tagged with the actual master release version, it's not realy it.
