I just discovered something that VLC REALLY didn't like to play. A 4K50fps JPEG2000 YUV444 12bit lossless ~48 GB video that was only 1 minute long.

To be fair the bitrate of the video is insane at ~5700 Mbit/s. The bitrate is so insane that you should really consider using an NVME drive for playback.

MPC-HC could kinda play it but only with extreme stutter and lag. My CPU (Ryzen 9 5900x) was completely maxed out.

I think you need hardware acceleration for a video like this.

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

The only place I could find where I could kinda play the video is inside Davinci resolve, but it doesn't look how I would like it to. Probably due to the apparent lack of HDR support in Resolve on Windows (unless you have a separate TV connected to the PC somehow.

Ohhhhhh. It's a video decoder torture test. "If your app can play this it can play anything" sort of deal. That makes sense.

Also makes sense that VLC puked.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

I think it's more of a test for encoding, not sure if you are really supposed to try and play it in an app.

1 Terrabyte RAM with a 64GB RAM Drive perhaps?

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I get similar results with ffplay compared to MPC-HC. I unfortunately haven't been able to get proper hardware acceleration to work anywhere.

Or maybe it does work and it's still bottlenecked by the CPU somehow.

Haha, that's fair 😂

ok but why would anyone have a video like that

It's basically intended to test encoding and stuff like that.

Maybe some kind of super slow motion high resolution type thing?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Yeah I could definitely see this for slo-mo and data recording in an actual laboratory setting that requires it to be as accurate as humanly possible. Idk if this is a standard though I'm not a scientist.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

but if you're gonna watch it in slow motion anyways then why isn't it saved as a slow video that is much longer?

JPEG2000 supports both. That's why I specifically said that the video is lossless

Right! Sorry, I assumed this was regular JPEG

I downloaded "natural complexity" or something like that. Unfortunately FTP downloads are limited to 100 Mbit/s so downloads can take a while. Imo they should make a torrent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Certain programs can do multithreaded downloads on ftp servers. Winscp is one that can do it. Idk about other software
