VideoReDo TVSuite & Professional - General Discussion Thread

I'm not getting the pop-up, either when I open VRD directly or dragging and dropping a video onto a VRD link in explorer. I'm running the latest VRD6 non pro on W11.

In settings I have the following under "Automatic version checks"
* Check for new versions - set to 'disable'
* check daily for new builds etc - unticked
* Request permission to access internet - ticked

Note that there are three settings you need to adjust to block internet access.

On a different note ... as we all know VRD fully supports H264 and provides some support for H265. Time marches on and H266 is now on the market and H267 is now under development.

H265 has a lot more support in VRD than some might think, and the only problem that i now have with H265 (HEVC) in VRD is when i need to add titles to my 4k/60p files, it just doesn't work properly, and this is what Dan Rosen was working on at the time of his passing, but i have developed my own method of creating titles so that problem is now fixed.

I thought the lag that i was getting in the timeline and the video preview screen with my 4k/60p HEVC files was also due to issues with 4k HEVC, but it turned out to be my Metabox laptop just not having the grunt to handle it, my new Dell Pro Max SFF PC with the Ultra 7 265 CPU has sped that process up quite a lot now.

Video formats can be very confusing, H266 is supposed to be competing with AV1 but AV1 is already well advanced so i personally think AV1 is really competing with H265 (HEVC) and not H266 as expected, but AV1 is still not that well implemented into consumer hardware/cameras yet.

The so called H266 will most likely be competing with AV2 and not H267 as it was meant to be doing, but anything beyond AV1 and H265 i think are simply too far away, and i doubt we will ever see H266, H267, and AV2 in any consumer grade cameras, least not for a very long time, and i think that AV1 and AV2 might prevail over H266 or H267 because of the free royalty thing, which is one of it's main features.

Personally i don't see any point in moving from 4k and HEVC in phones and consumer video cameras, and i certainly won't be moving from it any time soon, so VRD will always be ok for me for the next 5 years at least.
