Abstract static methods on interfaces, and ldftn are a powerful combination, and I might abuse it for a fast, iterative (non-recursive), single pass command line argument parser.

Has someone performed any micro benchmarking of COM/WinRT against PInvoke?
I.e. I have a wrapper in WinRT, and call some Win32-function, vs calling the Win32 function directly from C#?

This temptation of training an ML model for AV1/libx264 CRF values …

Feed the machine with FFmpeg statistics, and observed VMAF/XPSNR values and let it figure out the optimal CRF value for a given encoder preset in a scene, instead of performing binary search with linear interpolation by reencoding the same scene multiple times.

If you were to run a console app from #CSharp, which approach would you use?

Want a shiver? Archlinux cloud-images use btrfs-root.

Interesting, from my testing it looks like SVT #AV1 Preset 10 (CRF 26) is equivalent to #x264 Preset Veryfast (CRF 22), for one specific movie.

It's the same encoding time, same size, and same XPSNR score.
