With 4k material I usually end up somewhere between 1-4FPS (custom "slower" preset) for HEVC encoding, depending on source material and filter settings. I have two rigs running 24/7 with an AMD Ryand a Ryzen 9 3950. HEVC encoding takes time, especially with 4k content IF you want to have a decent quality. I can't tell you much about StaxRip, as I don't use it.īut I can tell you if you want the best ratio between speed, filesize and visual quality, there are not many alternatives to x.264/x.265 encoders.Īnd don't get your hopes up too high with the upcoming Ryzen 4000 series. I'm a big noob when it comes to x265, hdr, and staxrip, so sorry if I've been a bit rambly. even if I have to adjust certain settings on a case by case basis, that would be miles easier than adjusting the whole thing. I don't know anything when it comes to all these setting like look ahead or cu size or whatever, so if someone can tell what to change/tick or untick in all the menus, and then save it as default, something that will work with everything, that would be great. What's the hdr ingest thing? what settings do I need to change and how do I save that custom preset to be loaded by default? so I don't have to keep setting up every time I want to do something. I also plan on getting a new CPU when ryzen 4000 is released, which could help with speed, but if nvenc can be used for my goals, that would be even faster. I did a little testing with nvenc hevc with my very limited knowledge and it seems to be faar too soft, at a qp of 18, but its miles faster.Īny help? I have the same goals with 4k hdr as 1080p sdr, a transparent encode. ![]() I heard staxrip is the best GUI encoder for HDR content, but I have no idea how to use it, and it also takes an absurd amount of time with x265. ![]() Other settings I may adjust on a case by case basis but that's the jist of it. ![]() With handbrake, all the videos are 1080p SDR h.264, so I use x264 CRF 18 veryslow high profile level 4.1 with the film tune. Those needs are to compress my movies to save space, but remain high quality as to be indistinguishable from the source. When I encode 1080p SDR blurays, I use handbrake, as its perfectly adequate for my needs. This is my first time posting in these forums, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. ![]()

It should also offer import, export, and recovery processes. Robust password storage and generation: Your password manager should have enough storage capacity for all your credentials.Here are some key things to look for when choosing your next password manager: While every password manager is different, most leading providers back convenience with robust password security, encryption, and other features that make using strong passwords easy and secure. There’s more to a password manager than simply storing passwords. While that might sound risky, most password managers offer multi-factor authentication options to back up any “weakness” in your master password. ![]() Instead, you’ll be able to generate, store, and access a wide range of solid passwords using a single master password. With a password manager, you can forget about memorization. Why Strong Passwords Need Password ManagersĪs you can imagine, strong, unique passwords are hard to remember- and that’s the point. While they may be hard to memorize, a password manager can help you generate, store, and use strong passwords for every account. Using strong passwords is the most fundamental security tip for working from home to keep your data safe.Īs hackers improve brute-force attacks, passwords containing dictionary words are becoming easier to crack - even with the addition of numbers, symbols, and different character cases.īy contrast, strong passwords can take years (if not longer) to crack using even the most advanced brute-force attacks. While that may seem overkill, using strong passwords has become more critical than ever, especially as more people start working remotely. Here’s an example of a strong password generated using the LastPass browser extension: n6lC4BIMY0%!sP&IfKlWVH5tftRJ.

Table of passwords of varying strength. We’ll talk more about strong passwords and how password managers can help you use them in the next couple of sections. Unlike a weak password like “petname12345,” that’s easy to guess, a strong password uses a long string of random characters, numbers, and symbols that are near-impossible to crack. Generate strong, unique passwords: One of the most popular reasons for using a password manager is to generate a secure password.This feature isn’t only convenient, but it also prevents keyloggers and other malicious programs. Autofill login forms: Using your password manager’s browser extensions allows you to fill in login fields automatically.By using a password manager, you can easily manage, access, and change passwords for all your accounts without memorizing anything. Manage passwords from one location: If you’re like most Internet users, you probably have more accounts (and more passwords) than you know what to do.While you could memorize all your passwords, a password manager removes the need by encrypting and storing all of your passwords and account credentials in a single, secure location. Similarly, keeping your passwords in an unsecured file isn’t a great idea either. Securely store passwords: Everyone (hopefully) knows that writing your password on a post-it note attached to your computer screen isn’t very secure.Here are a few standard password manager features: Whether storing, generating, auto-filling, or managing passwords, tools like Dashlane and LastPass pack plenty of extra features into everything they do.

The sports juggernaut also announced EA Sports PGA Tour would feature women's golf and the inclusion of several elements of the LPGA, including professional women's golfers and the Amundi Evian Championship.Ģ022 is shaping up to be a year of significant change for several of EA Sports' major franchises. EA Sports confirmed it would be the only one of this year's annual golf titles to feature the PGA tour's majors, including well-known tournaments like the Masters and PGA Championship among others. When EA announced the return of its own PGA Tour franchise, the company made sure to emphasize the exclusivity and appeal of its licensing deal and partnership with the PGA Tour. A Spring release date would likely have put the game's release date alongside the expected dates for the 2022 Masters Tournament in April or PGA Championship in May. The company gave little explanation as to the reasoning behind the delay, keeping the statement brief and teasing at more information on the game's launch plans to come in the future. RELATED: EA Sports PGA Tour Reveals Cover and Confirms Masters ExclusivityĪ statement released on Wednesday by the EA Sports PGA Tour announced the delay stating that the company would be "shifting the launch date" of the upcoming return to the series formerly headlined by pro golfer Rory McIlroy. While the company had previously given an optimistic release date of Spring 2022 for the franchise's upcoming return, a recent statement from EA Sports informed fans that the wait for a new EA PGA Tour game may be a bit further off than expected. For 25 years following the release of PGA Tour Golf for MS-DOS in 1990, PGA Tour was a mainstay among EA's annual sports titles, partnering with professional golfer Tiger Woods for most of the franchise's history. While the company hasn't released a new PGA game since 2015, EA Sports has plenty of history on the golf course. But, EA announced earlier this year that its own PGA Tour franchise would be returning in 2022. Following EA's last title, HB Studios and later 2K Sports moved into the golf gaming market. Earlier this year, the sports gaming juggernaut officially announced the upcoming release of EA Sports PGA Tour as EA Sports' official return to golf.

As denizens of the Inner Sphere, Clan politics and practices tended to change, reflecting both an increase in affluence (the Clan Homeworlds are considered marginally hospitable compared with worlds of the Inner Sphere) and the need to interact with their new neighbors.The cover image shows its "first light", DESI's 5000 eyes' first observation in October 2019, when the instrument was calibrated Though the Clan invasion was halted after the Battle of Tukayyid, the Invading Clans were in the Inner Sphere to stay. The Clan Invasion ( 3049- 3052) nearly destroyed the Free Rasalhague Republic, while the Lyran half of the Federated Commonwealth and the Draconis Combine lost many systems. The political balance of the Inner Sphere changed fundamentally when the vanished scions of the Star League Defense Force, the Clans, returned to conquer the Inner Sphere and restore the " Star League". The Free Rasalhague Republic, 3034- 3103.A number of minor nations appeared in the Inner Sphere during or shortly after the Fourth Succession War, at the expense of the Draconis Combine, the Free Worlds League and the Capellan Confederation: The brief Fourth Succession War brought a dramatic change when the Lyran Commonwealth and Federated Suns, on opposite sides of the Sphere, united and conquered much of the other Successor States' territories. The cause for this warfare was a matter of feudal succession to the throne of the fallen Star League, hence the four wars of this period were called Succession Wars, while the five Great Houses were said to rule Successor States.ĭespite hundreds of billions of deaths, the first three Succession Wars resulted in little change to the map after the First Succession War divided the Terran Hegemony between the five Successor States. Only Terra remained independent under the aegis of neutral interstellar communications agency, ComStar.ĭuring the next 250 years, civilization was hammered from its twenty-eighth century peak down to twenty-first-century technology on many worlds and to more primitive states on others - and hundreds of worlds had their populations exterminated altogether. With the collapse of the Star League in 2781 and exodus of the Star League Defense Force from the Inner Sphere, the Great Houses consumed the moribund Hegemony and turned on each other. During the Star League era, mankind achieved technological marvels, and the relative stability of the age is still viewed as a utopian period by the people of the Inner Sphere, though this view is colored by nostalgic myth. The end of the Age of War accompanied the formation of the Star League, a multinational administrative and peacekeeping treaty, which lasted for ~250 years.

PS VR2 launches Februalongside Fantavision 202X.Known mostly its over the top horror atmosphere, location-specific enemy damage and absolutely ludicrous voice acting, HotD is one of the elder statesmen of the light-gun genre. It also seems likely that Fantavision 202X will meet a similar fate as its predecessor, as when compared to the rest of PS VR2's launch line-up, it doesn't seem like it has the most compelling gameplay loop - though its graphics are sure to earn some praise from critics. Fantavision 202X is also running on Unreal Engine, so its physics systems and lighting are sure to be top-notch, especially for a VR title. ![]() The two Sense controllers, for instance, will apparently play a large role in Fantavision 202X, using haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to elevate the experience. Launching 23 years after the first game, Fantavision 202X is fulfilling the same role its predecessor, with Sony using it to show off the graphical power of the new PS VR2 headset along with some of its unique features. Releasing alongside PlayStation VR2 in February 2023, Fantavision 202X is a fully-fledged sequel to the original PS2 launch classic. In the end, Fantavision did exactly what Sony wanted it to do, and now Fantavision 202X seeks to do the same with a new set of Sony hardware: PlayStation VR2. Fantavision's bright and colorful displays of fireworks showcased what the PS2 was capable of, as did the game's consistently high framerate. Though critics weren't too keen on Fantavision's actual gameplay, calling it too repetitive and lackluster, the one point of unanimous praise was the game's visuals and performance. Japan Studio's Fantavision quickly became Sony's number-one marketing tool for this, with its particle effect technology being some of the best in the industry at the time. One of the biggest technological features the PS2 was pushing was graphical fidelity, and in particular, particle effects. The technological leap between the original PlayStation and the PlayStation 2 was vast, and Sony needed to show its audience just how far the PS2 was taking the medium in order to get them on board. Fantavision is a pretty simple game at its core, and though it didn't review too well, it ended up being one of the PS2's most memorable launch titles. The bigger the chain reaction, the more points they get. Fantavision is a puzzle game similar to the likes of Tetris, where players link together fireworks to cause chain reactions that earn the player points. ![]() RELATED: Horizon Call of the Mountain: Can Protagonist Ryas Really Be Redeemed? Fantavision 202X Is a Sequel to an Iconic PS2 Gameįantavision 202X is actually the long-awaited sequel to an iconic PlayStation 2 launch title, simply titled Fantavision. Along with heavy-hitters like Horizon: Call of the Mountain and The Dark Pictures: Switchback, PS VR2 is also launching with a game called Fantavision 202X, which has a rather interesting backstory. With better hardware all around, and some exciting new features like Sense controllers and eye-tracking, PS VR2 looks almost worth its eye-watering asking price, and its launch line-up helps to make the headset more worth the initial investment. Releasing on February 22 2023, PlayStation VR2 looks to be an improvement over its predecessor in every conceivable way. Flash forward six years, and it seems as though PSVR at least did well enough for Sony to give it another go, and PS VR2 launches early next year. While some gamers jumped straight on this offer, and loved the headset, VR enthusiasts weren't so quick to praise Sony's first attempt at VR, criticizing its poor controls and lacking hardware. With VR being such a niche product at the time, Sony designed PSVR to be a solid entry-level headset that offered lower fidelity for a much lower price point. When PlayStation VR released all the way back in October 2016, gamers were a little divided. ![]() |
