I also added Intel Raw (YVU9) decoding, because, well, it was easy, and I should have cleaned-up.

TIL all the patents on Mpeg 4 video expired late last year (Nov 2023).

Until AV1 becomes ubiquitous, I'm glad we now have this fallback format unencumbered by patents and free to use everywhere

Dear Mastomind / Lazywebs: Is it feasible for a Web browser itself to support toggling support of video (or audio) support or codecs absent injecting JS into a page for that purpose?

My hope is that it might be possible to toggle the availability / support of common video codecs (such as: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, HEVC/H.265, VP9, and AV1), so that a browser would simply ignore an video / audio content.

I'm hearing that this is not trivially possible. If that's not the case ... I'd be quite happy.

Boosts / tagging clueful devs appreciated.

Anyone remember those Flip video cameras from the early 2000s? I have a bunch of videos from those that are in their proprietary video container/codec. I can’t figure out how to transcode those into something that can be used in modern video players and editors. Anyone have tip how to get those properly transcoded? #video #videocodecs

So I have hw decoder for H265 (HEVC) video codec on this device which is capable of 34 fps for 720p video and a max bitrate of 5mbps yet I've always had trouble with 30 fps HEVC at lower pixel counts and bellow that data rate on this device, honestly I think they just rasdomly put numbers into the details or all the HEVC encoded videos I've seen are not standard in some way.
