Why isn't there a porn-optimized codec? You know half the content on BitTorrent is porn, the bandwidth and disk space savings could be huge. It would be optimized for repetitive motion, human skin tones, and scenes that resume between cuts.

serious answer, porn visuals are too highly detailed and don't lend themselves well to compression shortcuts

anime and videogames since they have big areas of truly uniform color both have ideal, sometimes even lossless codecs that give off really tiny filesizes, like a full-length 1080p film only having a 2 gig video track, or an nes game having lossless video at a few megs a minute

porn actresses are airbrushed but not THAT airbrushed

when hd porn came out people were like "i dont want to see pimples on her ringpiece" but i think thats because they were living in a fantasy where porn was made with non-human humanoids who had no flaws but now porn is flaws and all and i wonder if its better for the warped sexualisation of teenagers

high frequency details require the most bits to compress.

As you increase the cameras resolution you get more high frequency detail (Assuming optics can handle it)

what makes the problem even worse is that modern sony camcorders uses a noise generator in the y portion of the image to fight banding, and to force the encoder to distribute the bits more evenly. Something a simple matrix adjustment would fix but o well.

Don't bother making your own video codec, there are the worlds smartest engineers working on this poo poo and it's all patented to hell.

Just wait for HEVC h.265 to come out this year and then be optimized by open sores community to be better than anything around.

Maybe by them we'll have 10-bpc playback standard (something that will be useful for high resolution screens and digital cinema cameras with no noise)

Pretty sure the optics can handle it, 65mm is closer to 8K than 4

Isn't it more about sensors and noise since nobody uses film

Yeah the SNR is more the limit now than anything but 65/70mm is still in use for a lot of bigger productions (The Dark Knight)

Sensor size also affects your viewing angles so 65mm tends to have shallower depth of field bokeh because you have to use a longer lens to get the same viewing angle. Using that sized film can be a creative choice even if you only scan at 2k

The longer your lens the more selective your focus will be.

It's like how medium format has a different artistic look than 35mm even though you may scan them in at the same low resolution.

above is a gross over simplification of those topics, but there are actual reasons for using larger/better sensors other than "HURRR RESOLUTION!!!"

really want a dslr to do videos and pictures. i like taking phone pictures but lol phone cameras

in high school i really liked being in media but i wasnt able to do anything but lovely news stories or lovely funny assembly videos where i had three hours to film+edit but editing took an hour and a half (gently caress DV tape and 1st gen intel imacs) and my partners were uncooperative. so i wanna real camera to make silly videos without time constraints

As you get more expensive/better gear, the filming process gets harder becuase the whole thing gets more complicated.

Honestly shooting on your iPhone and doing the edit there is easier than the earlier scenario you described, or even now with a modern dslr becasue lol focus/lol transcoding/lol lighting.

Everybody wants to shoot pretty images, but if people learned how to shoot/edit compelling content we might not have a problem with people going "lol over 30 seconds not clicking" when seeing a video on youtube.

i was throwing around using my nexus 4 to do that poo poo because people use iphones to film movies and the camera on the n4 is pretty nice but theres no way to mount it unlike the iphone plus loving android doesnt have any filming apps or anything and doing it with the camera app would be hell without focus and white balance lock

my roommate has a t2i and does some pretty sick videos but he's really unmotivated and only does stuff for assignments or for portfolio stuff. i'd just want to make bullshit youtube videos to shoot the poo poo in my spare time because i've always loved editing video.

i guess blowing a couple hundos on a camera when i have a cell phone camera thats better than most point and shoots is dumb

If everything had high frame rate it would never have been a problem.

lol at u getting caremad because people are pointing out that peter jackson's trip back to the well looks like poo poo at 48 fps (AKA the "let's come up with a gimmick to get people into the theaters because the movie on its own isn't that impressive" framerate).

It doesn't look like poo poo though. I thought the action scenes looked way better than anything I've seen in any other movie.

I'd go higher than 48 even, if I had the choice; I could still see a bit of flickering in certain places when the camera was moving. Nowhere near the stutterfest that is the typical 24 fps movie though, of course.

           BITCH!

I still wonder about the whole framerate thing. People that like 24fps is because it simulates motion blur better or something? Would your eyes still perceive a blur from fast motion of a projected image, if it was at some ludicrously high(infinite for all intents and purposes) framerate? Doesn't the brightness of the projection affect perception of blur, and i dunno, the fact that it's all on one focal plane and maybe some other poo poo. Is it possible that 24fps blurriness played back on screen is more realistic to how we would see things in the real world compared to 48fps?
