    Homebrew WiiMC-SS - GameCube controller support and more

    USB is likely to be faster, so higher bit rates are likely to work. That's interesting about MPlayer CE. The performance problem in WiiMC is likely to I/O file handling code. Based on tests I did there isn't a fundamental problem with the Wii CPU handling 576p video at low CRF. It can do it.

    Homebrew WiiMC-SS - GameCube controller support and more

    I found when experimenting with ffmpeg the single most important factor was the bit rate: c:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe -i input.mp4 -acodec libmp3lame -qscale:a 4 -vcodec libx264 -profile:v main -crf 14 -maxrate 1600k -bufsize 2M -vf scale=720:576 output.mp4 The bit rate here is 1600K. It seems...

    I've often thought the way Northern Ireland actually functions today is similar enough to how US actually functioned in the 1950s. I'm not referring to the hagiographic mythical 1950s of modern period movies, I mean the actual lived experience of US in 1950s. OK, a lot of that is coming from...

    Turdtowns: https://www.youtube.com/@Turdtowns/videos If you lived in England for at least a year, you'd at some point find yourself interacting with at least some of this. An aspect on actually living there a tourist will never, ever tune into is just how fucking awful local government is in...
