  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    It would be better to just transcode once at the exporting process.

    Lossy encoding only happens once in both cases.

    How direct import-export works: input file -> lossy format decompressor of editor -> filters -> lossy format compressor of editor -> output

    How external codecs work: input -> external lossy format decompressor -> intermediate representation(lossless codec, can be just storing raw frames) -> IR decoder of editor -> filters -> IR encoder of editor -> external lossy format compressor -> output

    Both options have only one lossy step - lossy encoder. Or technically two - also filters, but this is editor's intention.

    Oh, I get it now, you mean using a lossless format as intermediate. Well, it would work but still it would be better if they didn't require this extra work on linux.
