This is very much a work in progress btw, I haven't even inputted any data from conspiracy sites yet, it's just instructions to believe in literally everything including conspiracies and some basic info about the character.
Fun Touhou/AVC Fact:
In the source code for x264 (the encoder for a video format used by ~70% of videos online) there's a secret 9th tuning option designed specifically to optimize the compression process SOLELY for Touhou.
(🧵cos i got carried away & this is 5 tweets now lmao)
Genuinely the only thing that's been stopping me from clearing Flandre's BRUTAL extra stage is getting thprac working with Touhou 6 on linux (took me several hours)
@SKULLHORNETS@jendorei My experience is with re-encoding not recording but yeah I assume hardware encoding is better there (i still hate it tho). I found the option only saved ~6mb & the VMAF almost the same. I only really shared it bc it's funny, not bc it was useful lol.
(also what game is that btw?)
@SKULLHORNETS@jendorei I don't use OBS much so I can't say for sure, it seems like it uses the latter from what I've read online. This might be useful information https://t.co/dtMrleWsor
@RONJIX Videos would be re-compressed by X so I attached screenshots from the videos instead. I've put them on a file hosting site now which should avoid that, but it's hard to tell the difference anyways.

Here's pics without and with Touhou tuning respectively. Prolly looks identical but videos wouldn't work so it's the best I can do. Nerd stats are in the image alts.
I wouldn't use this setting tho, I like VP9 & especially AV1 ❤️ for these. I just found this setting interesting.

@ozeniken I searched online and 70% was the only estimation I saw that wasn't from like 2010. I'm not sure how reliable the source is but yeah I expected it to be VP9 as well.
@infraflakes every coloured square in this image is a Touhou run i've completed without continues. there's 262 unique completions here. i just also like talking about video compression lmao.
