Are you annoyed at those random game crashes, Blue Screens and weird behavior from your applications? Do you create documents or media you don’t want to become corrupted? Then your next upgrade should include ECC Memory. What is ECC memory? Error correction code (ECC) memory detects...
Continue reading...Cartoon or Photo? – Image detection with Python
This all started with me just wanting a fast way to sort through image folders and remove cartoon images. That lead me down a spiraling rabbit hole of possibility. From using OpenCV to do different types of detection, or even training a Machine Learning model from...
Continue reading...Hardware Encoding 4K HDR10 Videos?
We are about to venture into a heated and abnormal world. Hardware encoders, designed for real-time encoding, may be reaching the point they can also be considered for video archival. The three common consumers options available that we will look at are: AMD’s VCN encoder (using...
Continue reading...Raspberry Pi Hardware Encoding Speed Test
The GPU hardware encoder in the Raspberry Pi can greatly speed up encoding for H.264 videos. It is perfect to use for transcoding live streams as well. It can be accessed in FFmpeg with the h264_omx encoder. But is it fast enough for live stream a...
