  • SLR Drive Vision and Future

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.

                    4 days later

                    PeeTee I still have the one video I uploaded just sitting there waiting on AI scripts.

                      How do we get more credits? I don't see a subscribe or payment option. I'm a lifetime member if that helps.

                      DirrtyJuan I've been a loyal SLR customer for a few years so I'll add some good faith constructive criticism here:
                      It's better to under promise and over deliver. They're tackling a huge project, likely with a small team and also likely that not everyone on said team is pulling their weight. I'd rather they give us a more realistic estimate than to miss deadlines time after time. Am I optimistic that SLR drive will be fully functional? Hell yes. Will it be within the given time-frame? Doubt it. But I'd love to be proved wrong!

                          notontest For sure. Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to it and have alot of patience (I alpha/beta test alot of games so well aware development isn't a linear path) but I'm not gonna pretend like the original ETA wasn't september last year.

                          I'd rather they give us a more realistic estimate than to miss deadlines time after time.

                          Thats why I'm just pointing out that saying definitively 'next week' can lead to disappointment when something comes up and blocks/delays release. From september, to october, to christmas, to early january, early february, should be next week, next week, early march, late march, early april... lol you get the idea 🙂
