#and what the difference between reencoding something vs transencoding it is

I think I might finally be (kind of) starting to understand some of the finer details of A/V concepts that have been a solid wall between me and troubleshooting tech-related vidding problems historically.
#I'm a very monkey-pulling-levers type vidder
#and asking for help or trying to research things have not always aided my understanding At All
#so I've just had to sort of try various solutions I encounter by rote and hope for the best
#but I think I (kind of) get it better now??
#I know what the difference between containers and codecs is
#and what remuxing is and how it is not the same thing as converting
#I'm ngl I am still very lost in the weeds regarding the difference between encoding and reencoding
#and what the difference between reencoding something vs transencoding it is
#and lots of other things
#but like I think I know enough that it's easier to understand why things go wrong and how to fix them?
#I had a problem with pretty narsty artifacting in my timeline playback and the audio track not getting added at all
#and I tried a bunch of things before reencoding my source to a newer codec
#and along the way learned how to find what bit depth and chroma subsampling a file was
#which has always been pretty fucking mysterious to me and I've just winged it with default settings on my project properties
#like it took an embarrassingly long time for me to realise I could see what the resolution of a video was in the metadata
#and I think that only clicked because I was fucking around with the metadata of audio files for podfic
#so this is all very basic stuff to people my age who have been vidding since the early 00s
#but it's essentially dark magic to me
#one of the many reasons I wish there were more vidding tutorials and primers in the 'fanwork research & reference guides' tag on ao3 tbh
#because not everyone is on discord or brave enough to look a fool on discord
