  • Firefox Hardware video acceleration

    If hardware video acceleration is blocked with error code FEATURE_HARDWARE_VIDEO_DECODING_DISABLE or FEATURE_FAILURE_VIDEO_DECODING_TEST_FAILED in about:support, you can override it with media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled=true. See [10] for more information. Alternatively, you can install firefox-vaapiAUR.

    Also make sure that in about:support Compositing in the Features table under Graphics is set to WebRender if it is not than set gfx.webrender.all in about:config to true.

    I had the same issue but I have a NVIDIA gpu. but I just had to install libva-nvidia-driver and edit Kernel parameters and Environment Variables . I got this to work with both Firefox and Librewolf but only some video codecs.

    Firefox V137.0 Linux

  • many of the discs produced by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (WBHE) between 2006 and 2008 are failing prematurely

    he (Damn Fool Idealistic Crusader) says the most reliable way to look for playback problems — DVDs that won’t load at all, freeze while you’re watching the film, or have unplayable special features.

    Crusader’s video description links to some Google Docs, one of which is a list he compiled showing what he believes are “known rotted DVD titles” he found reported online

    I skimmed over the article to see if whether or not if they’re just gonna send you another DVD or if they’re gonna do it through other means. I couldn’t find anything.
