FFmpeg developers aren't satisfied with the new Rust-based rav1d decoder, say that "Rust is so good you can get paid $20k to make it as fast as C":

(This beef sounds like the ones Linus Torvalds says. Maybe he's also an FFmpeg dev? lol)

Canonical, Zerodha, Posit, Sanity, Tideways and other companies join the Open Source Pledge to fund FOSS projects:

(Canonical and a random Indian financial company funding FOSS projects? Is it just me who has some bad feelings about this? ️)
(Why would a bunch of for profit corporations support FOSS projects, if not because they want something out of them?)

Reference mix is on top; our mix is on bottom. These are normalized to -1 dB peak, because I am specifically evaluating the mix. (If I just wanted to compare how they sounded and which I preferred, then it would make sense to normalize to perceived loudness, the default for #ffmpeg-normalize.)

Our mix has more dynamic range, prob too much. That fits _my_ tastes, but it's not what the market prefers. You can see some limiting in the ref mix, but not excessive.

@Edent
If I got the video in binary form, I could read enough of the #ffmpeg man page to adjust the brightness and contrast myself. The results wouldn't be as good as a specialist could produce, certainly, but they'd be enough to tell me whether the enhanced video could plausibly have been derived from the original.

For non-geeks, my answer is quite different: we can't be sure of any evidence presented in court, because witnesses, police officers and experts could be lying. That's why we have perjury laws with such stiff penalties. If you can't get your hands on the evidence yourself, you ultimately have to trust the system.
