A little #Livestreaming and #Video🧵 (4/x)

So while #AV1 as a #Video #Codec is supposed to outperform #h264 and #h265 at low bitrates…

As long as your capture card or webcam uses MJPEG over USB2, you're having an image quality bottleneck elsewhere. In case you are using a camera with an HDMI output, the old h264 encoder in the #Blackmagic #AtemMiniPro will probably always outperform AV1 in terms of quality. As soon as you use the Atem Mini in webcam mode via USB to feed #OBS, you're going #MJPEG again!

To my knowledge, there are no standalone AV1 stream encoders yet. So if you want to use praised AV1, you have to get a Blackmagic #UltraStudio PCIe card (comes with #Linux drivers) to get uncompressed raw video into your OBS. Or, some real USB3 capture device that does not use MJPEG, but the product description on Amazon won't tell you, because normal users can't be bothered with this level of detail, can they…

Another Windows program working well in #Wine on #Linux: #Osee #GoStream Control.

Almost. The installer does not work. But when copied from a Windows machine, the result of the installation does work.

The Osee GoStream Deck is an Alternative to the #Blackmagic #AtemMiniPRO… or tries to be.

Actually it can be operated 100% without PC remote control, which is a huge benefit over the Atem series. But even the latest firmware isn't as quite there yet… it needs some heavy testing before this might go into production use.

Another benefit of this thing is that it has that second HDMI output which the Atem is missing and with the Macro buttons this could even be used as a pseudo AUX bus. Two stills players are available plus one video player plus a super source, and it streams to 2 platforms and records standalone to SD Card. I Currently for 335€ on Amazon Germany.

But as said, I don't trust this thing yet.

Another improvement for the integrated Video Converter in #NeoFinder 8.9 for #macOS:

It can handle multiple selected video files in the Services menu of the Finder!

Why the hell my (not-Apple) docking station, that worked seamlessly with my Macbook Pro before my trek, isn't working anymore now?

The MBP was turned off and not suspended during the previous week.

Damn IT black magic.

#OBS apparently has abandoned support for Intel GPU/CPU 7th generation hardware #h264 encoding.

A quite frustrating decision for #Linux users who had believed they were safe from things like mandatory Windows 11 rendering their elderly hardware useless.

The annoying thing is that elderly hardware usually is not fast enough for libx264 CPU encoding, which is best at performance eating high quality settings, so when you actually would need GPU encoding is exactly when you can't get it.

Luckily, I use dedicated hardware from #Blackmagic in #Livestream scenarios, this was just for testing some streaming servers I have to feed in during upcoming #HybridEvent
