hybrid error message on 2024 update

[Selur]

Can you please add Huffyuv and Lagrith codecs to Hybrid?

Short: No, I can not.

Long:
Regarding Lagarith:
Afaik, there is no command line encoder that support Lagarith which Hybrid could use.
Command line encoder would need to:
a. be free (ideally open source and supported by some developer) and no spyware or similar
b. support pipe input (ideally via y4m pipes)
c. report progress during encoding
(optional) d. the encoder is available for Windows and Linux.

Regarding Huffyuv:
FFmpeg does support Huffyuv:

ffmpeg -h encoder=huffyuv

reports:

Encoder huffyuv [Huffyuv / HuffYUV]:
    General capabilities: dr1 threads
    Threading capabilities: frame
    Supported pixel formats: yuv422p rgb24 bgra
huffyuv AVOptions:
  -non_deterministic <boolean>    E..V....... Allow multithreading for e.g. context=1 at the expense of determinism (default false)
  -pred              <int>        E..V....... Prediction method (from 0 to 2) (default left)
     left            0            E..V.......
     plane           1            E..V.......
     median          2            E..V.......

Problem is, afaik. that version was inferior to the Huffyuv vfw encoder in regard to compatibility and speed, but that is the only command line encoder I know that Hybrid could use for Huffyuv.


=> So unless you can name command line encoders, Hybrid could use to support those formats, I can not add support for those.

Ps.: Personally, I would use FFV1 (or H.264 lossless through GPU encoding) or FFvHuff.
