I went to a talk on YouTube. It was about how they have been
adapting to changing demands over the years. One of the major
issues was the decoding/encoding of videos (including
enhancement of quality). For this they break the videos up into
digestible chunks and encode/convert/edit the chunks
separately. At the end of the process they put all the chunks
back together again. A video can thus be processed in 5-10
minutes.
The second major point was, of course, streaming and buffering.
I was thinking that D with ranges and component programming
might be of interest for YouTube. The only thing I was worried
about was the memory bit. The demands are quite tough (low
footprint, speed). I know that GC can be deactivated in D but
the library still depends on it. In my projects GC does not
hurt, but for life streaming and the like it might be a
different story. Does anyone have any experience with D in this
respect? Any opinions?
Would you be interested in doing a live stream programming on
Twitch?
I started doing it recently when I can.
It would be great to get together a group of us and do it with
e.g. Mumble.
We can publish videos on to Youtube after the stream (Twitch
helps with that).
