What software in the world features linear regression like VirtualDub? OBS has a fixed video sync at 48,000MHz, what about Bandicam? What software in the world can synchronize a screen recording for over 1 hour without audio and video desync?

I believe this drift is related to the motherboard's crystal oscillator, and I use an ordinary laptop—I don't want to buy expensive hardware.


Thanks ]]> Off topic alphahelp https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/421118-OBS-vs-Bandicam-AV-Sync CrunchyGUI for MacOS (Front end for FFmpeg) https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/421117-CrunchyGUI-for-MacOS-%28Front-end-for-FFmpeg%29?goto=newpost Thu, 10 Sep 2026 16:03:09 GMT I've released v1 of CrunchyGUI. It's stable and fully fleshed out. This is a front end for FFMPEG that started as a tool for me to avoid having to do manual HDR to SDR conversions, and kind of expanded for there. Supports VideoToolBox hardware acceleration.

You'll need an FFmepg binary to do the encoding. The nightly builds generally work very well.

Download a pre-compiled FFmpeg here: https://ffmpeg.martin-riedl.de
They have links for both FFmpeg and FFprobe. FFprobe is optional but suggested.

CrunchyGUI is a native macOS app for video conversion, remuxing, audio processing, subtitles, metadata editing, and batch encoding, powered by FFmpeg. Based on the current source and README, its features include:
Video encoding and formats
- MP4 and MKV output.
- Software encoding with SVT-AV1, H.264/x264, and H.265/x265.
- Apple VideoToolbox hardware encoding for H.264 and HEVC.
- Video stream copying for remuxing without re-encoding.
- Quality, speed presets, frame-rate adjustment, keyframe intervals, and hardware-specific controls.
- Codec-specific advanced arguments and a live effective-settings preview.
Color and picture adjustments
- Automatic detection of source color metadata, bit depth, and HDR/SDR.
- Preserve source color, convert HDR to SDR, or manually configure color handling.
- Six tone-mapping algorithms, including Hable, Reinhard, and Mobius.
- Interactive color analysis with frame previews and hue, saturation, brightness, contrast, and gamma adjustments.
- Compare source interpretations, step through nearby frames, and confirm or discard adjustments.
Cropping and resizing
- Automatic letterbox detection using fast distributed samples or thorough every-frame analysis.
- Manual crop overrides with visible edge measurements.
- Keep cropped source size, fix width or height, specify exact dimensions, or fit within bounds.
- Common resolution presets, aspect-ratio locking, optional upscaling, and sample-aspect-ratio correction.
- Bicubic, Lanczos, and Spline36 scaling.
Noise reduction and sharpening
- Up to four noise-reduction passes and four sharpening passes.
- HQDN3D, Wavelet, NLMeans, and BM3D denoising.
- CAS, LapSharp, and Unsharp sharpening.
- Individual filter presets and detailed customization for supported filters.
- Performance warnings for expensive filter combinations.
Audio
- Up to four independently configured output tracks, using embedded or external audio.
- Stream copy or conversion to AAC, AC-3, E-AC3, or Opus.
- Channel layouts from mono through 7.1, including Dolby Pro Logic II downmixing.
- Bitrate, sample-rate, track-title, and default-track controls.
- Streaming, film, and custom loudness normalization, including two-pass analysis and optional pre-scanning.
Subtitles and chapters
- Embedded and external subtitle selection, language tags, default tracks, conversion, and burn-in.
- Automatic selection based on the Mac’s language.
- Selectable bitmap/PGS subtitles in MKV; burn-in for MP4.
- Import, edit, add, remove, restore, or generate chapters at regular intervals.
Metadata and artwork
- Source metadata import and online lookup through TMDB and TheTVDB.
- Editable titles, sorting, media kind, descriptions, genre, release date, ratings, studio, composer, and artwork.
- Poster importing, removal, and aspect-ratio cropping.
- Metadata-only saving to a new file or replacement of the original without re-encoding media.
- Validated native metadata updates for supported MP4-family files; stream-copy remuxing for MKV.
Batch processing and queues
- Reusable JSON templates and per-tab template settings.
- Batch import from selected files or folders, optionally including subfolders.
- Per-file source inspection and language/channel-based track matching.
- Queue reordering, saving, editing, pause/resume, cancellation, and cleanup.
- Historical jobs can be loaded as new jobs; import warnings remain accessible.
Workflow and monitoring
- Short sample encodes with configurable start time and duration.
- Progress, rolling FPS, elapsed time, and ETA.
- Saved PLIST projects and preferences.
- Automatic filename cleanup and collision numbering.
- Optional custom Finder thumbnails.
- FFmpeg selection, build inspection, thread overrides, contextual help, and optional debug logging.
- Metadata-service credentials stored in macOS Keychain.
FFmpeg and FFprobe must be installed separately, with support for the selected encoders and filters. ]]> Video Conversion DJRumpy https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/421117-CrunchyGUI-for-MacOS-%28Front-end-for-FFmpeg%29 Downloading A Video That Is Hosted On inkryptvideos.com https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/421116-Downloading-A-Video-That-Is-Hosted-On-inkryptvideos-com?goto=newpost Thu, 10 Sep 2026 13:42:15 GMT I want to download a drm-protected video that uses https://inkryptvideos.com to host this video I inspected the website and entered the network tab, and there i saw Fetch/XHR name called 6aa286571c27d_video-720p3.mp4 and 6aa286571c27d_audio.mp4 , i entered the first and copied the request...

Can't seem to find my manual for the above (been in the closet for 20 yrs). I put in a commercial dvd that plays well in my usual player. First I got a "No Disc" message, then with further tries kept getting the "Disc Error" message. The VHS side plays tapes perfectly. Should this unit play pre-recorded DVDs ? Any kind input appreciated until I can find my old manual. If not, is there a source I can download a pdf without spending $20+ ?

https://pypi.org/project/unidl/

Latest release:
https://github.com/chis47747/unidl/releases/tag/v2.0.5

Documentation:
https://github.com/chis47747/unidl/tree/main/docs

What UniDL provides

- A keyboard- and mouse-friendly terminal interface for browsing media services.
- A consistent workflow for opening URLs, searching titles, selecting seasons and episodes, choosing tracks, and downloading or recording media.
- Support for DASH/MPD, HLS, ISM/Smooth Streaming, JSON manifests and direct media URLs.
- Independent video, audio and subtitle track selection.
- Subtitle and chapter handling, output naming, resumable transfers and native muxing.
- Live recording with replay/DVR windows, duration control and cancellation.
- Audio-only workflows with metadata, cover art and MP3 export.
- JSON command/export files for automation and reproducible downloads.
- Localized interfaces including English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, French and Portuguese.
- Project-relative configuration for credentials, cookies, tokens, helpers, CDM devices, vaults and output files.

The project is divided into three layers:

1. Service packages handle provider-specific login, catalogue/search, manifests, settings and licence transport.
2. Core/TUI handles navigation, settings, credentials, track selection, progress, logs and workflow control.
3. The native downloader handles manifest parsing, segment transfer, decryption, subtitles, chapters and muxing in-process.

Installation

Python 3.11 or newer is required. FFmpeg and ffprobe are recommended for muxing, media probing and audio conversion.

I have a situation where I'm trying to upload content from VHS tapes to social media, mostly interviews with many Old-timers I've met reliving their life stories.

My tapes are from the mid '90s era. Captured on a Panasonic camcorder capable of recording to S-VHS. My tapes are high quality, mostly S-VHS and were always stored indoors climate controlled. ALL my tapes look/sound VERY good for the format when played from my Panasonic Omnivision SVHS DynaAmorphous Metal Head 4 VCR, and routed to modern Flatscreen TVs with composite cables (No S-video). I clean the heads maybe too often.

My CPU is a 2026 Dell Pro Tower Plus Ultra 7 265 32GB DDR5 512 GB SSD Windows 11 Pro Integrated graphics card Intel Graphics. The Elgato 4K Pro card is installed in it. Currently using the ClearClick AV2 HD 2.0 converter connected from the VCR with "Quality" gold plated cables (this converter does NOT offer S-video input). Am using a UL certified power supply to it. The latest version of OBS Studio is downloaded (32.2.2).

This ClearClick conv provided the best (?) video image of the bunch I've tried, Sound Beast, Yitrox AV are 2 of 3-4 I remember. The CC 2.0 conv I'm using currently at least provides a video image the is Jitter-free, with good color resolution and saturation, although the image is somewhat DARK, also the Blacks are NOT a uniform dark black, but have a lot GREY swimming around in them. I've tried to look at the available tutorial videos regarding OBS set-up, though none seem to show the exact settings catagories that are represented with my 32.2.2 version. My biggest complaints are the somewhat dark image, and the blacks swimming with grey blotches.

Does anyone know if image the OBS screen shows is actually what will be recorded with the Elgato 4K Pro card? What OBS settings should I be looking at specifically looking at for my issues? Are my issues more related to the CC 2.0 converter I'm using? What set-up are you getting good results with to accomplish what I'm attempting?

Thanks in advance for any kind input !

Hi everyone,

I’m Simon, the developer of Smootter.

I created Smootter because I wanted an alternative to SVP with a different approach: a standalone Windows application that adds realtime frame interpolation to existing players like PotPlayer and MPC-HC, while providing a cleaner and more streamlined configuration experience.

The idea is to keep using the players people already know while adding a dedicated interpolation layer.

Smootter currently supports multiple interpolation modes:

- RIFE / TensorRT (RIFE 4.25 V2 real-time AI interpolation)
- NVIDIA Optical Flow (NvOFFRUC)
- Classic / Motion
- Blend
- Nearest / Duplicate
- Auto mode for selecting the best validated path

This allows choosing between maximum quality, lower GPU requirements and compatibility depending on the situation.

I’m sharing it here because VideoHelp has a long history with advanced playback setups, filters and video processing.

Thanks!
