So less of a it’s not a problem in offices and more of a we know this is bad so lets try to not build more of it?
Didn’t this happen with first aid videos on YouTube?

Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Upgrading video quality for non-English content?English15·10 days agoSlightly off topic, but might be useful to you: If you look for BluRay remuxes you can also often find things with multiple audio tracks. Then you can just strip everything unwanted out of the container, which would leave you with the original video and a Spanish dub. Also, since you are looking for specifically Latino Spanish, I would hope this is also released on BluRay releases, or do we have systemic racism to thank for that not being one of the many common audio dubs…
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme crushes Apple M4, Intel, and AMD in new benchmarksEnglish6·10 days agoAbsolutely ture, your comment being? I think they were simply referencing the fact that there is a lot more software out there that can be made to semi easily run on linux/unix based systems.
Or maybe just focus your time on politics to make a country in which you are not allowed to fire people illy nilly.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does Lemmy output horribly invalid HTML?English1·10 days agoThis wsa considered in the earlier days of the web, but then intentionally not enforced. HTML was specifically designed to not fall into the same scheme as most programming languages in that it should try to render what it could even if there was a lot going wrong (unlike most programming languages that try to fail fast).
(And before someone comes after me for comparing HTML to programming languages, I am well aware that it is not Turing complete.)

I would assume that they can somewhat be considered tainted in terms of the piracy world now anyways, and getting new domain names should be fairly easy as well, shouldn’t it?

There is no limit though on how strong the exoskeletton is that you use on a regular bike.9·11 days agoLaws are created by humans. What a surprise that there isn’t already a law forbidding something that human common sense tells you not to do.
That being said, I would love to see a video of somebody wearing an exosceleton pedalling away like crazy on a normal bycicle.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such??English11·11 days agoNot a particularly informed comment, but I always figured because people started getting scared of the Christian god, so they started turning towards other religions. As a consequence, the Christian church needed to figure out how to make Christianity a bit more approachable, so the new testament and forgiveness were created.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•why can't a PC-laptop boot without datetime?English5·11 days agoI am fairly certain that I have had a PC before that had exactly the issue that the CMOS battery ran out. It was able to boot just fine, I just couldn’t get it to connect to the internet properly. Took me ages to figure out that the date and time in the OS were completely wrong, because I never really use my computer as a clock anyways.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deOPto FFmpeg@lemmy.world•Transcode iPhone Logarithmic Footage Without Loosing Log Color InformationEnglish1·11 days agoI asked this same question on Reddit as well and figured I would copy over the answers that were given there so that Lemmy starts building up more searchable content/information.

So the log data is just the way the luminance is stored in the image. It is the reason it is washed out; the image is being interpreted as a standard rec.709 SDR video when it isn’t. Log is often completely unlabelled leaving you to make sure youre using the correct operations for that specific log format.
Ffmpeg shouldn’t affect the log gamma unless you apply a lut or perform tonemapping to transform the image. That said, I’m not sure if ffmpeg will pass through all your original metadata about shooting settings which may or may not affect the processing in your editing software.
If you’re seeing significant colour shifts, something has potentially gone wrong but it’s also worth making sure that you check with your full processing pipeline rather than just a standard video player as it might be differences in interpretation between formats/metadata/etc rather than differences in pixel data.
This is also worth doing to make sure that your downsampling and compression retain enough quality for your purposes.
As the file is encoded in ProRes, it may actually be worth keeping the original resolution but compressing to high bitrate HEVC/H.265 which will generally not present any notable artefacts but still allow you to compress down to ¼-½ the size.

If they use av1, they should be able to hit ⅒ size and still have perfect quality. svtav1 preset 4 crf 20 should work.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deOPto FFmpeg@lemmy.world•Transcode iPhone Logarithmic Footage Without Loosing Log Color Information1·12 days agoThank you for the reply. I guess I didn’t make myself entirely clear in the original text, but I am talking about logarithmic color information, for better post production color grading. Not a text log.
The actual video is actually a frontal shot of a person talking like you would see in a newsroom. There is no text present in the video.
But yes, I absolutely agree with you, storing a text log as a video would be very inefficient and would require a huge amount of bitrate.
