Some Major and Minor questions?

[TwistedFaith84]

Hey I just downloaded your ~updated~ version and was wondering 1) what happened to all the other encoders? 2) what happened to the general info page? 3) does/will IFME support GPU acceleration (such as if you have NVIDIA, AMD, INTEL, or Other GPU)? 4) does/will it support CPU acceleration (I know the new Ryzen CPU's can out perform anything for encoding/decoding) (for proof https://youtu.be/JwETLRMandY)? 5) is this going to be an installable program (like it used to be)? or are you going portable with it?

Answer to your question

1. If you mean encoder codec, this soon will be added, reduce bug when I working on, for now I using modern encoder like x264, x265, AV1

2. General info aka Media Info also not available at this time, I thinking using Right-Click > Properties approach, reduce memory footprint instead put everything on RAM. like previous version, one video take ~900KiB for Media Info, Encoding Settings, During encoding, and more... when do batch encoding, IFME can use so much memory.

3. My original plan, not to include GPU Accelerated encoding, main goal is to make file size small as possible with highest quality, also IFME relaying heavily on FFmpeg. I believe FFmpeg has GPU accelerated encoding, this will be integrated at stable release, I need GPGPU detection engine, so IFME can decide which one to use (AMD/NVidia), also add more loading time since to detect host hardware, also I do AMD first since I using AMD GPU.

4. Yes! Because someone donate new AMD Ryzen 3950X, Asus Motherboard and RAM, so IFME build on top Ryzen system, also... x265 is compiled toward AMD Zen 2 Architecture. x265 encoding are much faster at right settings.

   Compiler: GCC 9.3.0 + znver2
   Build: x265 3.2 stable
   Resolution: 4K @ 10-bit
   Options: medium preset, psnr

   

5. Installer will included when stable release, for alpha/beta only available on zip package, so you can delete old, keep old or replace existing

bit by bit, IFME will complete.

1) Yeah sorry I did mean encoder codecs. and ok that's understandable.

2) ok that sounds good as long as its something that can stay up (till you close it) that way you can view what the original properties of the file were in case you just wanted to have everything be the same except for maybe a different video bitdepth, audio channels or bitrate, or something like that (I was having trouble with the copy stream/s options but that was probably my fault for selection copy stream but also trying to have the video go from 10bit (or 12bit) down to 8bit).

3) ok. yeah I don't really know anything about ffmpeg (or similar). I especially don't know any of the coding lingo (parameters) for advanced/expert setting and such.

4) Oh you Luckily BAS***D. LOL.

5) Ok that sound good. Now when you say replace existing do you mean like a copy and paste job or replace as in just use this instead? If's it a copy and paste job; what can/can't I copy/replace from either new 2 old or old 2 new (most likely new 2 old (copying new file/s and pasting in old directory) or would it be better the other way around)

You may keep previous build if newer have bug, let say you keep software version like this:

ifme-7.7
ifme-20.04.1_debug
ifme-20.04.2_debug
...
ifme-20.x.x_release

Very useful for non-stable release, you can go back previous build without re-downloading.

The installer useful at stable build and always replace old version.

[TwistedFaith84]

I'm not that worried about re-downloading

[Anime4000]

i see, for now I release in zip package. stable will have both installer and zip

[Anime4000]

alright, this fixed version I made, hope it helps https://github.com/Anime4000/IFME/releases/tag/20.05.2-alpha
