First result using ffastrans on WINE in a Container on AWS (Fargate, ECS).
Input File: 5 Minutes XDCAMHD, Encode config: XDCAMHD 1920x1080, 8 Audios

First Column is the cores i gave the Container.

Getting ffastrans running in WINE was something we tried in the past but failed and not investigated further because none of the team members really needed it.
Fortunately, Agents have a much easier time to engineer around such stuff and mine got it running in a few minutes finally.
I'll probably ...

Ay Taner,

you could consider using git and just exclude the hosts because these constantly change their files, writing heartbeat date into the jsons. This provides a nice changelog and of course pairs best with Agents, e.g. you can tell them to capture the current state, the agent writes a nice ...

Ohhh yea sorry i forgot hevc exists, we rarely get one of these where i work so accellerating these is no topic at all. Yea i guess anything compressed higher than h264 will fall in this category where introducing a hardware decoder helps really a lot...

It increased speed from around 1.5x to about 8x.

Hm, was this only decode benchmark? Actually i tested a lot with this but usually the filters and encoders were such a huge bottleneck that the Decoding speed itself would not change much. Changing from 1.5 to 8 just by changing the decoder from ...

Hey Aris, great addition, thanks a lot for sharing and taking on the project :)

The idea of such a general ffmpeg node was always in the room but there is one big problem: the hard part of the ffmpeg integration done in ffastrans encoders is the automatic calculation of filters as needed to come ...

Great, thanks a lot for letting me know. I'll do my best to support the agentic workflow, the goal is you just tell your vision and the docs link to plugin proc and you get a good result on first try. The current documentation does not seem to be 100% accurate to support this...

Hey Aris,
welcome to the Forum and thank you for using FFAStrans!
Happy when someone uses the plugin mechanism... do you work with a Coding Assist like claude or completely manual? Just asking because i tried claude last time and the result was ok but only 95% worked out of the box.. i'd like to get ...

I know its not 100% FFAStrans related but this is a really big thing and i am sure a lot of FFAStrans users are interested to know that SMPTE Standards have been freed now:

With a little luck, this means that especially AI Coding assistents in ...

Some more infos on how to efficiently use this.

Up in front: the following is about Commandline AI tools that can access your local files, the most prominent mentioned below. In contrast: The Browser based assistant tools work differently but they are pretty useless because Browser cannot access ...
