in the future you will have 10,000 nit displays that will look almost as good as the real world, but i'm sure someone will gently caress it up in the future by making 2d videos 360 or something.

i've been loving with codecs. one idiot spare time project a while ago was re-encoding media like Keeping Up With The Kardashians to play off of a modded playstation 1, in their STR format (similar to JPEG) with interleaved XA audio. it's a couple ffmpeg scripts to get it in the right form (limit framerate and lower resolution, into a format that works with the official sdk tooling) and a fair amount of C code for the player. i believe there used to be a PS1 video-CD scene a long time ago, in other countries, and there was a specific hardware dongle for the purpose. i might get a dreamcast for higher quality playback, or a saturn for worse

keep fighting the good fight.

what camera do I buy to take video with and then how do I edit the video to be good. I want to be youtube celebrity

get a production loan to buy this camera:
($78,000)

Since you're a youtuber you can probably get away with these cheaper lenses since you don't need anamorphic to shoot your vlog
($62,500)

i like h265 these days, op

they temporal denoise too hard in all their encoders to achieve their better compression ratios over h.264 and whoops you can't turn it off in most encoders, therefore it's not as good as h.264

optimizing for psnr is the stupidest thing. congratulations you made this number better but you blurred the video to death in the process

Image quality on h.265 is better if you have a grainless source.

too bad the stuff you're shooting with your arri alexa is going to be dumb unless you add a kodak 5203 stock grain on it or something
