FFmpeg 9.1 is entering its release phase with a new Vulkan encoder for the APV video codec, accelerating it via GPU shaders. The release also adds an NVIDIA Optical Flow accelerated interpolation filter called vf_fruc_vulkan for Frame Rate Up-Conversion (FRUC). Other additions include ASTC image encoding and decoding via libastcenc, an extensively improved AAC encoder, H.264 data partitioning support, a DVD-Audio LPCM decoder, and D3D12 DirectML zero-copy inference for the ONNX Runtime DNN backend. The code is available on the project's 9.1 release branch.
Why read it: FFmpeg 9.1 mang đến các cải tiến đáng kể về mã hóa Vulkan, tăng tốc FRUC và hỗ trợ nhiều định dạng mới giúp nâng cao hiệu suất xử lý video và chất lượng âm thanh.

Basis Universal v2.6 will expose its real-time analytical encoders through new APIs and tooling, with a new command line tool called basisu_pack shipping in January 2027. These encoders don't require SIMD, yet many are faster than other older search-based SIMD encoder designs. The update also plans official Python wheels for several platforms, transcoding performance increases, and large compression ratio improvements for XUASTC. CLI tools ship as both native binaries and secure WASM WASI executables.

Linus Torvalds released Linux 7.4-rc2, calling it a big rc2 following the largest ever rc1. The release includes a notable FAT32 performance improvement, especially for synchronous mounts, AMDGPU driver fixes for HDMI 2.2 FRL, and numerous fixes for long-standing core memory management bugs. Torvalds noted the diffstat looks benign and is largely driven by automated coccinelle script updates that add noise, and that AI-generated fixes and bug reports continue to pour in. He said Alexei claims fixes on the bpf side are now coming in faster than new reports. Linux 7.4 is aiming for a stable release around the end of December.
