How to access a second Intel iGPU in a workstation with additional discrete Nvidia GPU?

I am stuck how to configure QSV access to an enabled iGPU onboard an Intel Core i7-6700K (Skylake). This is a legacy, rebuilt workstation with additional, discrete Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 GPU on a MSI-Z170-A Pro mobo. Any idea and code modification below?

Understanding mailing list Moderation
by Phyllis Smith 09 Sep '24

Andrea asked the question in another thread: > I would like to ask how long moderation lasts for a new user. It > is now more than a week (with 7 posts) that Tarantas has been > registered... > It looks like it lasts forever until I uncheck the "Mod" box in the mailing list for that user. I think this started only when additional security was added in the last year or so and I did not realize it and had just been approving the messages. Today I looked into it and from now on when I see a new addition, I will know to uncheck the "Mod" box right away.

Unable to start Cinelerra-GG binary built from source using build instructions in manual
by Justin Wayland 09 Sep '24

09 Sep '24

I compiled Cinelerra-GG from source on openSUSE Tumbleweed and succeeded at building it, but when I tried to run it all I got was the opening window and the error log attached to this message. This happened regardless of whether I ran it in XWayland or X. The AppImage provided on the website works. The debug data was empty. Any help would be appreciated. -Justin

The best strategy to render yuv (mpeg, limited range) from yuvj (jpeg, full range)?
by Tarantas 08 Sep '24

08 Sep '24

So, my sources are in yuvj, and my target (youtube) is yuv. I want to find the best strategy to minimize color banding and maximize dynamic range available. My current settings for this are: - JPEG in "preferences"; - RGBA-float in "format" (color correction in YUV leads to a lot of color banding). The problem is: I couldn't render this RGBA-float into YUV. No matter what render settings I use, it renders in full range. Putting color_range=mpeg doesn't help, because it just flags the file to be in limited range, leading to increased contrast of image. So, I'm a little confused. What I am really supposed to do? Using ColorSpace filter is not convenient with filter like histogram, for example.

Minor Openjpeg and Tiff library upgrades + fix Giflib patch2
by Phyllis Smith 07 Sep '24

07 Sep '24

Checked into GIT: Openjpeg upgrade from 2.5.0 to 2.5.2. Tiff upgrade from 4.6.0 to 4.6.0t - this just puts back things deleted in 4.6.0 due to security. Fixed Giflib 5.2.2 patch2 that Andrew found had a bug that Termux spotted whereas Fedora and Ubuntu did not care.

Build fails on termux
by Andrew Randrianasulu 06 Sep '24

06 Sep '24

due to giflib-5.2.2.patch2 I removed patch and build is ok. Not sure where this patch was needed, may be on older distros? I also tried to "set -e" before building cingg and get build breaking error somewhere in x265 dir, as reported already. but for me default (seen with "set -o" ) errexit=off, you can set it off for specific build by executing "set +e" before building cingg.

offtopic: Quantel boxes

Because I monitor mame WIP thread I saw some news about Quantel Paintbox emulation in MAME (0) and then I randomly followed some links to other Quantel systems Like HAL (basically like hardware compositor) http://dexterslab2013.blogspot.com/2018/03/quantel-hal-video-compositing-sy… 99 layers of SD images or video, up to 15 min storage on 20 disk array! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4k15hpeGzBA if you have half of hour you can watch this demo from 1997. Biggest thing so far for me? We are free to use old-fashioned optical effects in front of real camera too :) (0) - https://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=120292&page…

h264 vulkan encoding
by Andrea paz 23 Aug '24

23 Aug '24

A patch brings hardware encoding with vulkan into ffmpeg. In the future I will try to make a preset for h264, but if I understand correctly you have to use the ffmpeg from Lynne's repository and then compile it with the --enable-vulkan option. Do you think a simple replacement of our ffmpeg tar.gz with Lynne's tar.gz is enough? https://lynne.ee/vulkan-video-encoding.html

If you are ever hit by "Stack smashing detected". Go to Settings > Performance and set "Use HW Device" to "none". Lets hope that Google indexes the Cinerella mailinglist. -- Stefan
