So it seems like Firefox is finally getting close to adding HDR support for videos on Windows. Right now they're going to review it for issues, but it should come to FF Nightly after that.

It'll probably take a few months after that to reach stable builds.

Grand Theft Auto 4 with Path Tracing - what a time to be alive! How did one of the most notoriously "bad" PC ports get to this point in 2025? How did modder xoxor4d get RTX Remix to work with GTA 4? Does GTA 4 on PC deserve its frankly terrible reputation? Find out in this vid!

It's crazy that YouTube allows you to live stream in 4K HDR instantly, but an uploaded HDR video will take days to process before actually showing up as HDR for viewers.

Swords can get lodged inside tiny holes and prevent you from swinging them in #Exanima 🤯. This game never ceases to impress me. I fucking love it.

I wonder if the Switch 2 using a Mini-LED panel. HDR in portable mode isn't going to be that great otherwise.

The Exanima Hellmode video is finally out on YouTube, and in glorious 4K 60fps HDR to boot. Just a chill playthrough, no challenges or anything like that.

It has officially been 3 whole days since upload and the Exanima vid's HDR version hasn't processed yet 💀

Well, the Exanima vid is uploaded and the SDR version is processed, but who knows how long YouTube will take to process the HDR version of a 1 hour 21 minute video that's 241 GB large.

Currently uploading ~240 GB of Exanima footage to YouTube 😯. This game eats bitrate like it's nothing.

According to my testing, YouTube really likes these crazy high bitrates for Exanima footage in particular, probably because of all the fast fullscreen motion + a lot of fine detail.

I learned that DaVinci Resolve can also induce interval stutter just like OBS, so even with fractional framerate recording, importing that video to DaVinci Resolve will cause the stutter randomly.

I could fix this by using mkvmerge on the video and passing the argument "--default-duration 0:60p".

Decided to record some Exanima Hellmode gameplay, in 4K HDR as usual.

It's a long video, so YouTube will take its sweet time processing the HDR version.

It's still crazy to me that I can record and play this game at 4K with *supersampling* on my RTX 4060, without breaking a sweat.

Glad I didn't wait for GTA 5 Enhanced to come out to play the game again.

Performance is a dumpster fire, with horrendous frametimes, massive and frequent stutters and a ridiculous performance bug that tanks framerate when underwater.

GTA 5 'Legacy' runs like butter compared to that.

The GTA IV video is up. It's sort of a tribute to one of my favorite games of all time. #GTA #gaming youtu.be/SHfOsqh0Ang

Gonna try to make a GTA IV video in glorious 4K HDR, now that I got OBS to finally stop stuttering for good.
February 26, 2025 at 1:14 PM
Did some more digging and found this video which explains a way to get rid of interval stutter in OBS, and I think the fractional fps recording did the trick for me.

It's way too much work for most people though. I really wish OBS (or ffmpeg) would fix this bug.

Just realized after tearing much of my hair out that the severe stutter in my game recordings was caused by OBS, and it's an unavoidable bug no matter what you do.

Mirillis Action! and Nvidia Shadowplay both seem to be unaffected by this bug somehow. #OBS #gamerecording

After spending the day playing GTA3, I spent a couple hours in the evening with GTA5 again after not really playing through it for, like, 10 years? It really is an impressive game. The leap in quality between 3 and 5 is gigantic.

Any plans on covering Exanima on DF? I remember seeing clips of it in the RTX HDR video. I think it would make for a fascinating video, and frankly the game deserves so much more attention. Apologies if this has been asked many times before. @dachsjaeger.bsky.social @digitalfoundry.bsky.social
