I'm gonna get some fresh encodings of some videos that I saw.I hope that you'll like them.I'll also try re-encoding some of my previous posts.

test
Also on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyjmcFDQDBs Messed up the filesize/bitrate constraints so it could be a bit better
>>6182822No problem!For Windows, wsl is very convenient.You can use it for yt-dlp, FFmpeg, and Bash scripts.For Android, YTDLnis is a very good yt-dlp app, with good customisation and a clean UI.You can run FFmpeg and Bash scripts on Android via Termux.I've been using a simple FFmpeg wrapper Bash script for these encodes, just for convenience:https://justpaste.app/p/ffencode2Maybe someone will find this useful.It gives me the input and output directory file listings, computes the target video bitrates for 4chan, and prompts me for the params that I use most (so I don't need to remember the exact FFmpeg option syntax).
>>6185715Regarding params, I've been making H.264 (MP4) encodings, usually with a 360p resolution (sometimes higher res or res copy for shorter clips), mostly 30 FPS (I will copy to match the frame count if the FPS is already close to 30, but I think that I broke that rule at least once), the 6 MB audio copy video bitrate (or 6 MB 128k audio video bitrate, if the video bitrate would be way too low otherwise), effort level "0" (max effort), and usually audio copy (re-encode for non-AAC codecs, 128k for large audio streams).So something like this in vanilla FFmpeg:-c:v libx264 -s 640x360 -r 30 -b:v 250k -preset veryslow -c:a copySomeone with more FFmpeg experience can probably give you better recommendations.
>>6181683I laughed my ass of the first time I watched this one. HSK love.

4chan strips some of the video metadata, right?So, if we would like to have a custom thumbnail, we would need to prepend a frame to the original video?Has anyone experimented with that?
>>6186802Thanks.Probably too jarring, even with a single frame, given that the use case would be for black frame 1s.Here are some FFmpeg commands, in case anyone wants to play around with them:ffmpeg -f lavfi -t 4 -i "color=c=red:s=1280x720:r=30" -f lavfi -t 1 -i "color=c=blue:s=1280x720:r=30" -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]concat=n=2:v=1:a=0[v]" -map "[v]" -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p red4_blue1.mp4ffmpeg -ss 4.5 -t 0.05 -i red4_blue1.mp4 -i red4_blue1.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[thumbnail];[1:v]setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[video];[thumbnail][video]concat=n=2:v=1:a=0[video_with_thumbnail]" -map "[video_with_thumbnail]" -map 1:a? -c:v libx264 -s 640x360 -c:a copy red4_blue1_360p_with_blue_first_frame.mp4

Looks like the fumo and YTPMV threads got 404'd without even going into the archives? I can only assume that they were culled as a result of the board apparently dropping to a five page limit.
>>6187967Catalog still has 10 pages. Just 5 pages of threads got deleted.
>>6187971Sou nano ka- (bouyomi) I can see on the page view that pages 6-10 are just grayed out, compared with /gif/ not have those page numbers at all.
>>6187967It looks like targeted removal?This is the last reply in the bottom thread of /wsg/ right now:>>6187473There were threads bumped after that time that were removed.No clue how this thread survived, if that's the case.It literally ticks all the boxes for stuff that people seethe about.
>>6187967Hopefully, the board stays at 10 pages and those threads come back.The current setup gives time for threads to grow and get good.I see stuff on page 6 right now, so maybe this was a one-off by a rogue.
>>6187967Ah, even the Vocaloid thread got nuked...

>>6189712Holy blast from the pastHow old is this video?I still have the .sfw file somewhere around here
Tried doing only screenshot + source audio for this in order to capture the sound and the photo collage in their full glory, since the video is only a white line visualiser in a circle around RU/left drum. For some reason 4chan wouldn't take the output I got from FFmpeg, so I re-ran it through Handbrake at the cost of picture quality and filesize and called it there. Maybe I should have just tried encoding the video...>>6190183Not too sure either since I've only seen an RTA play of it, but closing both doors at the start before anyone's even left the stage looks like a poor use of electricity. >>6190886There's a MGRoid cover/MV by a different poster: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm46100647 The video in that Anon's post is a short, so it doesn't show up in douga searches except on the side.

>>6194085VP9 seems to be really good for this vocaloid song and derived MADs, specifically.I bumped it up to 720p, but let me know if you preferred the previous H.264 encoding.Source:https://youtu.be/QoRxkajIjPc
>>6194085>>6194194Obviously not a fair test due to the resolution difference, but comparing the segment from 1:38 to 1:48 in both encodings kinda shows what I've observed with VP9.It struggles with stuff that's too dynamic, which is part of the reason why most of my encodings have just been H.264 MP4s for these MADs filled with visual action.VP9 WebM seems to work well for this specific video, because it's kinda like a slideshow.
>>6194204Yes, generally speaking h264 is better in high noise environments. vp9 really struggles to compress film grain and high motion. It's a popular myth that vp9 is objectively the best format for this board but it's more of a case by case basis with vp9 being the good default to try first.However, opus is generally better at the same bitrate than aac, you get more bang for your buck on the audio side so that is something to keep in mind for music videos.
>>6194208Yep, I heard that about Opus.I try to avoid audio compression as much as possible, though.If I can do passthrough, I just do that and compress the video only.
>>6192839That's just fireworks. Gunshots do not sound like that.>mi rapistjfc..>>6193626>music and mangaAny of your favorite albums/artists or manga that you can recommend? I have no point of reference so it's all a good starting point for me.
>>6182257You actually managed to add even more SOUL to the original video with this encoding.Gives me 00s nostalgia.Fits very well.(Not encouraging people to intentionally avoid NVDL, though!)
>>6183086Thanks! These are great!TDN is one of the guys in blue, right?Which one is he?For the longest time, I just assumed that YJSNPI was Tadano.
>>6183035>>6183454Anyone know who these are, please?Both videos 10 secs in.
>>6192839>>6194513Important distinction, the rapist was the Marisa fan, not the raped.
>>6194513It's hard to recommend music since there's too much of it in all genres, from electronic to metal. Many circles also release music in different genres, often within the same album. I can list the most prominent circles/artists (in my opinion), but you're probably better off listening to one of these online touhou radio stations picking whatever your fancy. IOSYS, Silver Forest, Shibayan Records, Akatsuki Records (mostly electronic and vocals)Sound Holic, A-One (mainly eurobeat)Foreground Eclipse, Undead Corporation, Demetori, 5150, Unlucky Morpheus, Takamachi Walk (different flavors of metal and metalcore)As for manga, Wild and Horned Hermit and Forbidden Scrollery are good in their own ways. Art in WaHH is a bit off in the beginning, but it gets better early on. Silent Sinners in Blue is decent, but probably too confusing for beginners (lots of enigmatic dialogues and monologues and little action). I haven't read Lotus Eaters and Cheating Detective Satori yet but these are ongoing series you can jump on to quickly assimilate on /jp/ (may not be worth it since /jp/ is pretty much dead).

Hoping that the MAD and Vocaloid threads live long this time:>>6187935>>6188392
>>6194551TDN is the middle guy bowing to TNOK at 1:50, and on all-fours at 1:54. Not that you asked about the other guys in blue, but DB is the one in the driver's seat of the van and on the left side of TDN in the office. I think HTN is on the right in the office and in the background of the MAD from 1:47 to 1:54, making the "hee hee" sound. >For the longest time, I just assumed that YJSNPI was Tadano.To be fair there are some MADs which invoke his Tadano's name in the title but focus on Yajuu Senpai instead.>>6194552First one is pretty much all Geru Futota, not sure who specifically you're after in the second one.
>>6194913Thanks, boss.In the 2nd video, I only know Ichigo.I've seen the Inmu guy around (bee sting meme?), but I don't know his name.I'm asking about the rest - I've never seen them in any Cookie vid (except one of them in NYD BoroBoro).
>>6194155>>6195351
>>6182314Is the other Suika YMN, as well?I've seen her a bit, but I have no idea where she came from.
>>6194827Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was asking for YOUR favorites as recommendations so I could check them out as a means of dipping my pp in and then make up my own mind specifically because neither of us knows what the other one likes.You gave a great list though anon. Thank (You) for the effort-post!
>>6195341Those three Touhou-based characters 10 seconds in are from Jiko Mujun/Self-Contradiction, a fairly well known but controversial Cookie drama. The guy closing the car door is from an inmu video. Apparently he's nicknamed Kim Tae-kyun after a baseballer. >>6195384Not quite, she's from the PV for SOUND HOLIC's Shuwa Spa Daisakusen. It didn't have anything to do with Cookie but was more or less co-opted because of the drink drugging part and lack of SIK/YMN material at the time. I guess it's not too out of place in MADs since the artstyle in the original Cookie project changes from scene to scene.
>>6195745Materials from that PV are used to represent Yamin since long ago, she has also covered that song (https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm22421661) and Suika's actions in that video (attempted drugging of Reimu) have established her role as Yajuu's imouto.In short: it IS Yamin and this video has everything to do with Cookie.
>>6195816>Materials from that PV are used to represent Yamin since long ago, she has also covered that song (https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm22421661) and Suika's actions in that video (attempted drugging of Reimu) have established her role as Yajuu's imouto.That's why I said it was co-opted.>In short: it IS Yamin and this video has everything to do with Cookie.Sure, the animations are used to represent YMN all the time, no questions about that. I think I've only seen one video that treats her as separate from YMN, and even then I could be misremembering. I'm saying that it's not YMN in the sense that she wasn't the one doing the singing and being portrayed in the source PV. I was also saying that the PV "wasn't" Cookie, that the association came from the community and not from Nana Takahashi/SOUND HOLIC when they put out the song and PV, but the question of whether or not a given Touhou work is "Cookie" can get pretty nebulous.
>>6196154NYN is such a cutie pie.
>>6195745>>6195816>>6195951Nice! Thanks!The Cookie lore goes deep.Do you guys have encodings for the Splatoon and YMN tripping MADs?Plus, YMNs cover here?If not, I can try encoding later.They're pretty popular, so I'm guessing that someone has already encoded them.
>>6196291Seems like Splatoon was posted back in 2024, >>5509377 and >5672771, but it's not in the Mega folder (which was just recently updated for the above two videos?). Highly doubt YMN's cover has been posted before, and I can't find any signs of the original getting posted in /wsg/ either. If you encoded the original it would double as a Touhou PV for the other thread.
>>6196476I'm anon maintaining the mega folder. I'm not the original anon who uploaded the NYN webm collection, I simply reuploaded it, combining with my own encodes, this is also why only two videos from this thread are there (I've encoded these two myself). I can upload the rest of videos from this thread there too, it's just wiser to do so when the image limit is reached. If any of you have other packs with videos, I can upload these too, just give me the link. You can also feel free to re-host everything from the folder elsewhere yourself.
