Hairsational download all your favorite scenes while you can if you want the absolute best quality. Also they are encoding all content to the new format that will help reduce file size and supposedly not have an effect on quality, but unless they are having all the editors re-encode all the scenes from the source material then you can imagine its just going to be another render from a previous file, the more you render over previous renders the more you lose each time, regardless of how little impact anyone claims.
DeoVR v HereSphere
metichemsi I don't think SLR said anything about re-encoding the master (original) files with AV1?
Hairsational the new Originals masters will be coming in av1
- Edited
doublevr Thanks for clarifying.
I guess that means the masters for SLR Originals will become useless to those with older devices that can't play AV1 (e.g. Quest 2)?
Hairsational there will be h265 transcoded version as well
doublevr h265 will only be for the smaller streaming-oriented files, and the master (Original quality download) will only be in AV1, right?
Hairsational that's the plan
Hairsational I think AV1 will solve all the issues we talked about if it's done right hopefully, especially for the Original/ High Bitrate files. But I Wonder about the method they'll use for that and already asked about it. Let's hope for the best and everyone is satisfied with this new Codec.
Best Regards.
Do I need to download new codex for AV1 for a PC using steam? I don't know what the difference is other than what people are saying about smaller size files and better quality.
What do I need to do to see this?
rerun119 Yes, you'll need AV1 Codec. It's free and available on the Microsoft Store. DON'T get it from any other sources. Save yourself the troubles.
You'll also need to have at least Nvidia 30 series GPUs or AMD equivalents. As these are the first GPUs to introduce AV1 hardware decoders. Otherwise, you can't play AV1 Videos smoothly at all.
Best Regards.
VRXVR Terrible plan, not that they care for offline full resolution users clearly, but I wonder how many of their users are even on a 30 series card haha all in the name of further pushing streaming and cutting costs
Hairsational thats exactly what I meant, its no good, have fun upgrading your gpu to a 30 series or higher, if you already have one, you should be ok, but get used to having to conform to their standards, I say get as many of your favorite scenes in full quality while you can
Hairsational Maybe I don't understand. I click on the "install" button and it opens the Microsoft store window.
Then what do you do? It says "open" Then it just takes you to movies you can buy.
At the bottom of the Microsoft window there is a place you can buy the AV1 video extension for .99$
Maybe I already have it? I'm not sure
rerun119 Are you looking at HEVC or AV1? The HEVC extensions costs $0.99 because the HEVC codec has royalties. The AV1 extension should be free because the AV1 codec is royalty-free. Are you using Windows 10 or 11?
Vrsumo2017 yeah, I know what you mean, the idea is good. Not sure we will implement it any time soon, but it can be implemented in the new rebuilt app (Hyper) when it's ready
Vrsumo2017 flat videos are especially cool with it
- Edited
Hairsational Windows 11.
I am looking for AV1 and that is what the link says
Did you try clicking on the install button from the link you provided? Try it if you didn't, please.
Click on the big blue box that says "install" it takes me to a second popup box that now has a gray box with "open" on it.
Then what do I do?
Dont know if it was already mentioned here but passthrough videos arent working on PCVR DEOVR app?
It works on heresphere. In deovr the background is black. So another reason why heresphere is better than deovr.
