Re^2: figuring out Parallel::ForkManager slots

The wine part is just a frame server. Things like mencoder and ffmpeg leave much to be desired. The x265 binary is compiled on the machine for the machine. Such architectural things like AVX-512 is why I use such a binary, instead of libraries through stuff like mencoder or ffmpeg. There is really no other way to get frames to such a program other than a pipe. x264 could be built to read video files directly, but processing options were garbage. x265 I don't believe will do anything. I couldn't even get that example to run. It just dies and says slots full without doing anything.

The example has not been tested, since I write out `pipe`/`fork`/`select`/`waitpid` longhand when I need them (usually with child processes feeding reports into the `Tk` event loop through pipes) and do not have `Parallel::ForkManager` installed. It had a silly mistake that is now fixed, although it does not actually do anything because it does not define contents for the `@data` array nor is there any actual code to run in the child processes. A frame server? Some program that buffers video piecemeal while x265 works on it? Is there a native alternative you could use? Pulling in Wine here just seems ... unnecessary.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Are you familiar with avisynth and what it can do? I'm dealing with 10-bit HDR video here. It's not as simple as throwing it in mencoder or ffmpeg. Regardless, wine and an install of avisynth IS the easiest route to serve frames to an encoder. There are other avisynth-like things for Linux, but it's not worth my time, and I doubt they deal with higher bit depths well.	[reply]

Are you familiar with avisynth and what it can do? Sadly not, although the AVISynth wiki looks very interesting. Anyway, I have fixed the stupid mistake in the example earlier, so it should at least run now, if I read the `Parallel::ForkManager` documentation correctly.	[reply] [d/l]
