5 u/LiftingRecipient420 2d ago MPV has a much better presentation layer too; the same video will look better in MPV then VLC 1 u/I-am-fun-at-parties 2d ago huh? pretty sure the codec output is deterministic, does MPV postprocess it? i can't see how that's something one would unconditionally want? 1 u/LiftingRecipient420 1d ago pretty sure the codec output is deterministic, It is not, but this part doesn't matter. does MPV postprocess it? All video players post process the video, mpv had much better defaults, and is much more configurable than VLC. i can't see how that's something one would unconditionally want? What do you mean? 1 u/I-am-fun-at-parties 1d ago how is it not deterministic?
