There is also artifact noise in new video. (Asuna and Karin's Jumping)
I'm worried that Ngon's PC is not working properly.

Yup, same. Initially thought it's a driver problem, because on PC the artifacts are present on AMD GPU-s / iGPU-s. But, if played on NVIDIA card - NVENC hides those artifacts, similarly there are no artifacts when video is played on Android. Didn't check on Intel, tho.
I ended up trying a bunch of stuff with re-encoding etc, in short - video indeed has some initial compression artifacts, which are most likely the reason for the "green explosion" on AMD cards. There are far fewer of them and they don't look as bad, but they are still noticeable. The worst part - any attempt to fidget around with fffmpeg or edit the video - just "bakes in" those initial artifacts and makes them permanently visible even on NVIDIA.
I also checked several previous videos and everything since late June is affected. He started to output videos in 4K at that point, maybe messed up some settings and didn't notice since NVIDIA conveniently hid it.
If anyone here is subbed on P or F, would be nice if you could reach him about this.

So yes, it does appear on AMD. I use MPV on Linux, and how I get around it is simple, though annoying. Usually I use vulkan-copy for hardware decoding for every video. However, his videos do not like that. Instead, how to get around it, I simply press c to change profiles from svp to soft. It changes hwdec from vulkan-copy to vdpau, and the problem is solved. Please see the mpv.conf file for more info. Ngon encodes his videos in a dumb way, apparently. Seems like in this newest video, it is even worse with artifacts that appear even after changing hwdec. This is pretty awful, what is he doing?

And no, do not ask me about other video players as I do not know how to do it with them, and do not care about them. mpv ❤️

Thanks for suggestion, didn't pay much attention to MPV, maybe the time has come. I tried to fix this in VLC, but best it can do is disabling hardware-accelerated decoding. This removes "big nasty green" artifacts, but instead initial smaller artifacts become visible.
And unfortunately, this solution is only for "masking" when viewed, editing is still a no go.
Maybe I'll try to hit him on twitter with this, we'll see what he has to say for himself😅

Probably changed some export setting, to achieve better compression. Interesting that software decoding has issues too while nvdec manages. I can transcode it without artifacts, if there's need. (After all there's nothing wrong with nvdec stream)

These past few days, the messages I've been getting kinda changed my mind, so I decided to share this video. But honestly, I still don't really get why people are so into it — maybe I just don't quite see the appeal.


Oh, and since we don't want to draw too much attention, I'm not gonna give away the author's name — but if you're smart, you probably know where to find it. Like, maybe in my last post?

If anyone remembers RMDB, I can upload a relatively complete collection of their iwara/Patreon works if anyone is interested.
Alright folks here is an archive of all RMDB works I could save/salvage from MMDFans, Iwara, and Patreon which should be most of them:

I am missing the Windcatcher R18 Gumroad exclusive so if anyone has that, I'd be grateful

To this day, I still don't know what happened to cause his abrupt departure, but I hope he's doing well wherever he is in life
