Hap Codec Support?
-
From the VDMX Forums;
"The file sizes for Hap movies are going to be a lot bigger than P-JPEG, the advantage is way lower CPU usage, if you've got a slow disk, it might not make sense to convert your movies right away.Also note, if you've got movies that contain subtle gradients or fine details that need to be preserved, try using the "Hap Q" codec instead, the quality is a lot better in these situations!"

this would be real nice. It's from the guy who co-wrote syphon with vade and they are both extremely talented coders

In Isadora I would guess that one would only really enjoy the benefits of HAP when working entirely with Core actors. Mark, is this correct?
-
For the moment that is true. But once I get the FreeFrameGL support out, then it will be more generally important.

This is terribly exciting! I've started playing around with VDMX lately, and this performance is simply breathtaking. 9 HD Videos full 1080p playing back at 30fps is something that only large scale media servers have dreamed of before.
As Isadora is my tool of choice for theatre work, I look forward to seeing HAP in Isadora as well! Keep up the good work Mark! -
This sounds great.
-
Yes indeed!
-
BTW I have been experiencing some nasty artifacts in light areas when encoding contrast footage.
-
Have you been using the higher quality codec or the standard hap?
-
Actually both Hap and HapQ. I have footage of passing treetops and cloudy sky. Sky looks like full of bugs flying. -
I wish that the codec allowed the compression to be set.
I did not like this about DXV either.
