Releases: kornelski/cavif-rs
Updated rav1e
Fixes xiph/rav1e#2757
Much faster
I've fine-tuned rav1e low-level settings, so now you get much better compression-to-speed ratio.
Full color range
Firefox doesn't have a problem with full color range any more, so the encoder uses it for slightly better quality.
Compatibility improvements
v1.1.1 Compat fixes
Minor bugfixes
v0.6.6 Update deps
Updated rav1e
Updated to the latest rav1e version, which brings speed and quality improvements.
Nicer command-line interface
New argument parser should have nicer error handling.
Faster encoding
It turns out you can just ask rav1e to run faster, and it will! (with no loss of compression quality)
The first zip link below contains exe for macOS, Windows and Debian.
Now with pipes!
Latest release adds support for stdin/stdout pipes, so you can combine it with other programs without a need for temporary files.
For example, to make AVIF from ImageMagick:
convert -resize 50% example.jpg PNG:- | cavif - | cat > example.avif
That -
at the end tells cavif
to read image from stdin. cat
here is only to demonstrate that both stdin and stdout are used.
RGB encoding mode
Now you can pass --color=rgb
to encode RGB channels exactly as-is, without conversion to a "TV" color space. It should give slightly more precise color, but also results in bigger files. It's not that exciting. I wanted to add support for more interesting color spaces, but it turned out nobody else supports them yet, so I won't either.
