  • SLR Drive Vision and Future

Hairsational No what Im saying is.... 50 or 100 gigs is fine for 1 day worth of videos. Do you not agree with that? Should give you pleanty of choice for a days worth. Even for me, one of those crackheads you meantion. I dont need 500gigs of storage cause tomorrow Im not going to watch anthing I uploaded today. Does that make sense? And if I dont watch all the 50 or 100 gigs I uploaded today... I will tomorrow. So still problem solved. It makes more sense to have a lower storage cap to keep the cost down, and just have a daily cap on credits vs monthly. You only have to worry about 1 day at a time anyway.

A side note is you are talking like everyone is going to 100% only use drive and its capabilities and just completely stop using SLR uloaded content. Not going to happen, even for you. The honeymoon high wears off quick. Drive is a just a feature of the website, its not taking over the website, and Im sure the developers and all the people involved with getting it up and going know this is a realistic way to look at it.

      not sure if this is also in the pipeline but imo would be good idea to besides just the subscription models, be able to buy individual credits as well. like $1 a credit or something would be cool

      sogman the use case you describe is the opposite of what I would think the average user utilizes a streaming service for. We don’t want hours of work to prepare to wank. I want to be able to log on, select a video, and go on about my day. I’d much prefer the larger storage because as I learned yesterday after finally getting credits to renew… recycling videos is a pain in the ass. It takes forever. I don’t want to be doing that every few days. 500gb is a nice balance for that- I can just go upload 10-15 videos one day and be good for a month. There’s plenty of other options in the SLR videos to not need 30 videos from other sites every week. Maybe you are thinking you would upload new shit you never saw before, but to me that sounds like a waste of time. I only intend to use drive for videos not hosted here that I have seen and would like to revisit in PT.

            shankpot12 NoI understand your perspective. I guess what Im getting at is you say for you 10 or 15 videos is good for a month. The user amount is kinda subjective, but lets say 15 videos for a month. Thats you. And every single one of those 15 videos is going to be a winner for you? Do you see what I mean? I personally dont want to have to force them to be good cause I ran out of credits.

            shankpot12 … recycling videos is a pain in the ass. It takes forever.

            It doesnt have to be. Just have a daily cap of 10 or 15 credits, or do unlimited as most people probably wont be using much anyway, if what you are saing is really the average person. And if you have 10 or 15 videos uploaded and you dont want to mess around for a month, have at it. I want the option to mess with it daily cause thats me. A daily cap makes more sense, I dare say even more than unlimited monthly

            The storage is only to render videos, thats all we care about drive for. If the bottleneck is cloud storage space, well we all have hard drives on our computers or laptops and expandable storage is dirt cheap. 500gig hdd refirbished just for backup videos like $15 on amazon. Id rather keep the cost down and put it towards credits. Rendering in passthrough and scripts with AI is legit all we are here for. Everybody and their brother is selling cloud storage for dirt cheap.

                doublevr does full functionality include flat-to-3D? Only asking because I just saw that being offered in the last few days.

                    As5m0deu5 that's right.
                    We plan adding all the special treatments to your uploads like voice synthesis translations, subtitles and everything that's coming out. There's a ton of it.

                        doublevr That sounds awesome! I for one am pumped, I think I'm probably your target audience lol 😆

                          doublevr what is a voice synthesis translation? Translating non-English dialog into English?

                              As5m0deu5 yes. Can’t wait for JAV videos in English

                                I might have missed it but are there any plans on allowing slr drive to accept 2160p, h264 videos and also do ai passthrough? If it's possible I would upload 2160p Av1 but a lot of the videos I would want to upload don't come in that format and I only have them in h264. Trust me I wouldn't want to waste my storage space still are not if I don't have to but most of what I have is in that other format

                                sogman Actually, the reality is that you don't need giant file sizes anymore. Get some sort of free Video codec converter like Handbrake and you can take a 9 gig file down to 2 or 3 gig file. That means if you have 500 gb of space in SLR Drive, theoretically you could have anywhere from 166 to 250 videos at any one time or perhaps more. Now, if your collection of files is greater than THAT then WOWIE you may have a problem lol. This is probably also true for even your 2D vids if you want to upload those. Given they tend to be a bit smaller, then converting them likely would create even smaller file sizes such that your 2D content would be an even smaller chunk than usual.

                                You can convert to H.265 or if you REALLY want to save space, AV1

                                    svanir That nukes the video quality and also takes a long time.

                                        The problem is supposedly SLR Drive doesn't do ai pass through if it's 4K h.265
                                        I think it has to be av1 files or a lower quality h.265
                                        That's at least my understanding because I uploaded a video and they said it can't be converted to AI passthrough for that reason
                                        So does SLR Drive plan on fixing that or it is what it is?
                                        I don't know if this is something we're allowed to ask on here but where do you guys find your videos to download in Av1? What is a good free site to get videos in that format?

                                        Hairsational Yeah it did actually nuke the quality lol. I just found that one out the hard way when I actually looked at the two vids I made into AV1

                                          ameteala That usually implies that the AI pt in it's current state is not compatible with/unable to be run on that video I think, I've had that happen a couple times. What video codec is it using?

                                              svanir figured it out, reuploaded the video and first time i tried it told me res was too high, after that i got that ai pt request already made for the video, that`s why i couldnt find out why it wouldnt work.
