Archival of Dark_Shikari's blog?
Anyone have a link to an archived copy of our old friend Dark_Shikari's blog "Diary of an x264 developer"? It was super insightful and I'd like to refer back to some older posts but the site is down and I can't find it on the wayback machine.

This was _SUCH_ a good post on encoder latency.

Indeed! Most of the stuff that Dark was talking about 11 years ago are still very relevant today and offer a very important insight on how things work and why they were implemented the way they have been.

Victory!
The thing that kills me is that we almost got interlaced kicked out of ATSC 1.0 and could have been rid of it a couple of decades earlier. Intel had convinced everyone that doing SW deinterlacing was too hard for PC clients. The broadcasters were about to give up when Intel said "no, we figured it out." If they'd just shut up for another month... |
