A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sometime it's better to let it happen and let the user find out the person who mis-transcode video maliciously and get that malicious person banned from the instance. Many instances are invite-only, so it works out in a way that the benefit outweigh the risk.
The average YouTube user is not going to understand any of that. If they're watching a video and something unexpected comes up in the video, they're going to blame the person who uploaded the video.
I suppose although the documentation does point it out that the offender can modify such content with ease.
For live transcoding, I would suggest the broadcaster to purchase a good GPU and have it transcode the broadcast. While they are trying to suggest CPU-based solution, i would argue that they should explore the GPU based solution which can be much better optimized for this scenario.
