My Journey Into Modern Video Compression

And Why I Ended Up Using Shutter Encoder,  AV1 and opus After testing many tools to compress my album/personal videos from the last years, I use AV1 + Opus + MKV with Shutter Encoder as my daily workflow. It keeps things practical while giving modern compression, metadata preservation, filter preview, and predictable results. AV1, Constant Quality, VBR, and Variable Framerate (VFR) AV1 is already supported by most modern devices and will remain standard for a long time. Its main advantage: AV1 lets you decide how much quality to preserve while greatly reducing file size, so the loss becomes dependent on your preference of videos. AV1 also supports variable bitrate (VBR) , where the encoder automatically uses fewer bits on simple scenes and more on complex ones. Combined with constant-quality (CQ) mode , this lets you target a consistent visual quality across the file without worrying about a fixed bitrate. It works very well with variable framerate (VFR) , where f...

Firefox 4 smaller tabs (concerning height)

I've searched long enough for this to put it here for other searchers (especially concerning spacing or margins). If you want the height of your tabs to be a bit smaller (including text of course), you can do that by editing your "C:\Users\[YourUSername]\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[Your profile]\chrome\userChrome.css" .  Create one from "userChrome-example.css" if it doesn't exist. Here is the code you should add after "@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul")" : .tabbrowser-tabs {     height: 18px !important; } .tabbrowser-tabs .tab-text {     font-size: 80%; } .tabbrowser-tab {     margin-top:0 !important; } .tabbrowser-tabs tab label {     margin-top:-2px !important;     height: 16px !important; }

Cannot (drag and) drop files on other files of filetype js

I started with Windows 7 and I realized that I couldn't drop files on .js javascript files anymore.  I couldn't even see a highlight when hovering over the target files, like I could it behaved with other files (vbs, jse and bat). "What the hell?", I thought I have been googling for so long without answers to my problem that I just have to write it here.  Hope it saves someone some time. A lot of things that I found did clear my path to the solution below, but, for the record, none of these were thé solution: filetype settings or their association settings " open with " settings registry keys and values in ".js" as "JSFile" in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT , especially " shell " keys DropHandler Open Commands etc.. As a matter of fact, everything worked with jse files, so I made sure the registry looked exactly the same for ".jse" and "JSEFile" in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.  No luck. Until I found the following " UserChoi...
