You might know, but in any case, not always it's vp9. Sometimes there is not even a vp9 version, sometimes the x264 version will be smaller. Anyway I did a test with x264 and vp9 youtube clips with cpu only decoding (probably) on two environments and the difference was big (2-4 times). Can't...

Because I read a couple threads here that mentioned it. Here is one of them: https://forum.beyond3d.com/threads/physical-limitations-of-the-human-vision-system-and-the-impact-on-display-tech.57674/page-2 (Blazkowicz's post) After reading these, I remember doing some tests on my pc and arriving...

I did not say that, I said which means all the processing (browser processing vs stand alone video player processing) using cpu only.

Running videos through a web browser, whether using flash or html 5 generally uses much more processing power than downloading a video and running it in a random video player. I do not know how is with netflix app, so the difference might not be as big. Though, I am considering the processing is...

Just to be annoying, I have to mention that I never used it :razz: And never will, at least until there is streaming services that doesn't use technology that consumes 4-5 more processing power than a normal video player. (After all, energy is very expensive where I live, and I don't like to...

Of course not, it was the replacement of western genre. And boy, they did a fine job. There was many bad movies at the time that we tend to forget, but were many good ones and a few exceptional. But nowadays, it's as many of more crap ones, much less good ones and nearly nothing really elite...

I watched again the original Predator. Much better than nearly all super hero or remakes of action/fantasy movies that Hollywood ever did. It shows how much Hollywood blockbusters\action movies declined in the last 20 years or so, especially in the last 10. Mctiernam was so good, shame he...

True, should have thought about that. Yes, dav1.mp4 Anyway, a shorter way that I didn't think about at the time: https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/static/ffmpeg-20170225-7e4f32f-win64-static.zip

No PC Format, PC Plus, PC Answers? What a shame. Anyway, even never being as cool as the physical stuff, still one of the coolest topics I ever saw here.

Can't edit it anymore, so here is the fix:

Not a movie editor, but this can be accomplished fairly simple with ffmpeg. This will split a file into two files, the first one containing the first hour, the second from 1:10:00 until it's hypothetical end at 2:10:00. If the movie is shorter, let's say 1:50:00 it will work too, so you don't...

Sure, but what kind of performance advantage can a dos game have? That's my doubt.

I was remembering my days of playing Grand Prix 2 under win95 or 98. The game executed considerably better under the compatibility mode of these two Os. Not monstrously faster, but considerably. It was about fifteen years since I last played it under these systems, but I would guess 15-20%...

I only played the first two games, but out of curiosity, would like to know if the races are still always very close. I remember that unless there was an abysmal difference in the quality the cars, no matter how well you guided, you never was going to end much in front of the AI. You could race...
