Andrea, Thank you for providing some information on what is new for CinGG with ffmpeg version 8.0. - xxx_cuda filters only work with certain Nvidia graphics cards (at least that is my understanding). I did notice that *F_pad_cuda* does show up in the Resources Window under Video Effects but when you drag it to the timeline you get the error as shown below. So I will comment it out in ffmpeg/plugin.opts -- just like all of the rest of the "cuda-s".
PluginFVClient::activate() F_pad_cuda err: Function not implemented PluginFVClient::process_buffer() F_pad_cuda err: Operation not permitted
-- *F_scale_d3d11* is a hardware-accelerated video filter using Direct3D 11 so if you do not have that hardware, it does not create an object file in thirdparty/ffmpeg-8.0/libavfilter even though the vf_scale_d3d11.c source code exists. -- *F_colordetect* and many of the other ffmpeg filters that produce informational output have no default file on which to display that information and no parameter to specify a file name. This is sort of analogous to section 9.5 in the Manual, paragraph "Outstanding Issues with ffmpeg". We should probably document in the Manual about specific hardware limitations and displayed output with ffmpeg. As you can see below when you use the "colordetect" filter on the ffmpeg command line, there is ample informational output generated. *# /tmp/cinelerra-5.1/thirdparty/ffmpeg-8.0/ffmpeg -i

I see that ffmpeg 8.0 has three new filters: Color Detect, Pad_Cuda, and Scale_d3d11. In CinGG, I only see the first one, Color Detect, which provides information on the “Jpeg/Mpeg” range and whether the alpha channel is ‘premultiplied’ or “straight.” It doesn't give me any errors, but I don't know where to see the information it provides. FFmpeg 8.0 also has other good news: decoders for the APV mezzanine codec (very interesting!) and for ProRes RAW. Improved VVC support (this would be h266, the successor to h265). Then encoding/decoding via Vulkan of FFV1 and ProRes Raw (for this only decoding). Still decoding Vulkan VP9, Vaapi VVC; ProRes and VC-2. I don't know if Vulkan AV1; ProRes and VC-2 encoding is already supported or coming soon. I don't know enough about other new features (G.728; Whip, etc.). _______________________________________________ Cin mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
