FFmpeg enters the chat

[–] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 122 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, guess where vlc gets all that muscle...

[–] Robin@lemmy.world 47 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I thought it was libvlc that covers that but no, it is indeed libavcodec which is part of the ffmpeg project. Does anyone here know the relationship between libvlc and libavcodec?

[–] WolfLink@lemmy.ml 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

libvlc uses libavcodec

VLC relays on ffmpeg for a lot of video decoding, as do lots of other media programs. Go look up the legal notice on your TV and there’s a good chance the ffmpeg licensing information is in there.

[–] uis@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

FFmpeg is one of libvlc's backends. A lot of stuff vlc can decode without calling ffmpeg.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Followed by MPV doing the same

[–] sag@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago (9 children)

Whenever someone ask me media player for Linux I suggest MPV but for Binbows I suggest VLC. I don't know why?

[–] zurohki@aussie.zone 15 points 2 years ago

IIRC VLC on Windows uses it's own included ffmpeg libraries for decoding so you don't need to mess around with Windows codecs.

I once thought of a movie while coughing into a microphone. I opened the recorded cough with VLC and it played the movie.

[–] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 13 points 2 years ago

You don't even need to cough with the right setting on. That's just a safety feature for the uninitiated, so that they don't submit freaked out bug reports.

Forget playback. How was that video file recorded? How do you even store data that fast, let alone encode it?

Vlc has hardware acceleration afaik. I think its more a case of the ffmpeg codec not supporting it yet because what the actual fuck haha

[–] gentooer@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, I think it's a good idea to try ffplay if VLC (or mpv) fail.

VLC is not script-frendly. mpv is the goat. You can even watch videos from YouTube and maybe from somewhere else.

vlc can even play incomplete video files - it'll just play the parts of it, that will play.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It'll even play videos that are actively downloading

^ Found a fellow old school torrent user 😆

[–] Ascend910@lemmy.ml 36 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The cool part is vlc can act like a video downloader, screen recorder, and media converter. It can also stream a video over the internet

[–] mukt@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The swissknife of digital video.

Big fan of media player classic / MPC-HC for many years now.

[–] Amir@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there an updated fork with security patches? Android disclosed so many media vulnerabilities in the last 5 years that I don't trust unupdated media players anymore

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I’ve never stopped getting updates.I’ve been using K-Lite Codec Pack since Kazaa lite was relevant. It has always come with updated MPC-HC. Looks like the GitHub is here:

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases

MPC-HC with madVR and a beefy GPU for the upscaling algorithms is godlike.

I find VLC really struggles with UHD high frame-rate video.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is it vlc struggling or your entire PC?

I has one boss who wanted to stream 2 4K60 cctv feeds to his laptop while in the office. Needless to say his laptop struggles with a single 4K I didn't even bother setting up the second feed.

[–] Amir@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Run a transcoder in "the cloud" (another PC in the room) and then it's possible

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There are people who like VLC, but for me personally, MPV has a much cleaner interface, better configuration options, and when it comes to streaming video, MPV absolutely destroys VLC (especially when changing playback speed while the video is playing -- VLC has the audio cut out for several seconds and MPV doesn't, and that's to say nothing of the MPEG glitches)

[–] tearsintherain@leminal.space 20 points 2 years ago

I am glad both MPV and VLC exist.

Mpv is better

It runs better, but VLC is much more user friendly

[–] NiPfi@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I was missing Codecs in my Linux install. VLC couldn't play a single file

[–] sag@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

Reinstall it.

[–] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

Try the flatpak, it should come with all the codecs

[–] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 12 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I actually found a file format that VLC won't play, .MJP, yanked off of our network's security camera system. It requires the security company's proprietary video player.

I've moved on. VLC used to be great, but my go to now is definitely MPC-BE.

This is news to me. What happened with VLC?
