@RL_Dane Nice article, well done! I'll re-post it a bit later, so as not to make this account too noisy.

@RL_Dane I'd love to put more PeerTube stuff out but there's some caveats that I have to work around, namely the storage limits and creative commons. I only have 2 gigs on TILvids (which barely is enough for more than 2 of my videos even after significantly compressing them) plus everything needs to be published under a CC license (including background music and stock pictures/footage). It's a bit complicated. Pondering setting up my own instance in some way but I don't have the technical means.

@janbetaAh. That *is* complex. :(Perhaps there's an instance that's a better fit?But yes, self-hosting is the ultimate solution when you have a lot of content already, although that can be complex.Fortunately, yunohost has a peertube module, so coupled with a raspberry pi at home and a dynamic DNS address, that might be a decent (and presumably easy to set-up) solution: https://yunohost.org/en/app_peertube

@RL_Dane Ah, thanks for that link. I’m going to look into it but I somehow doubt that my shoddy connection would be enough to handle my own instance at this point. Definitely looking for solutions for the CC issue (possibly just make my own music sometime) and eying diode zone as an alternative instance for future uploads. ;)

@janbetaIt's very time-consuming, but transcoding to 720p h265 could save a lot of storage, assuming that NewPipe itself will serve that file natively and not try to transcode it to h264.h265 does wonders with mostly static videos. It can perform a ton of compression without much visual quality loss. It just takes a lot of computational power to do it well....

@RL_Dane @janbeta I actually hope that we move toward the AV1/Opus codecs. They're completely open-source, supported by most browser environments, and have essentially all the advantages of h.265. It definitely would help save on storage space for decentralized networks!

@janbeta...I don't know where you're sourcing your music now, but you might find some good stuff from the likes of incompetech.com. I believe they are entirely CC.Bon chance! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing your videos, regardless of platform.Cheers! :)

@tilvids @janbetaGood to know! I haven't tried AV1 yet, although I'm already a big fan of Opus.I guess AV1 is replacing Ogg Theora, then?I *have* done multi-pass h265 transcoding on a Core 2 Duo before... highly recommended if you need to warm up a rather small space. For a couple days. lol

@RL_Dane @tilvids @janbeta Yes, AV1 is replacing Ogg Theora. Ogg Theora wasn’t a good codec in my experience and will be dead in the water.YouTube already uses AV1, and you might see it being used if you check Stats for Nerds under certain videos, and it’s a format you can download with youtube-dl and forks like yt-dlp. So it makes sense that sites like PeerTube should start using it too. The only downside is that Apple devices (especially older ones running Safari) won’t be able to play them, so they use H.264 for compatibility.

@tilvids @RL_Dane @janbeta Opus is *so* good
