MPEG2 video decoding stops working


Question

Sometimes my mpeg2 video decoding stops working and it will either not render anything correctly at all (weird colors and ****) or just render through software. What could be causing this weird problem?

EDIT: For example - right just now, it stopped working. Everything was software-rendered and it was horribly slow. But then I restarted the program, it's back to normal! WTF?

    • If you don't want AI on your devices, sorry, but don't use Windows, macOS or Android/iOS phones, because those have AI and will have more of it as time goes on. Linux seems to be your only safe heaven (for now, since Red Hat already included AI functionality on version 10).
    • That sort of thinking is outdated. The exact problem with human drivers is that they kill A LOT of people. Machine vision can see significantly better than humans (all light spectrums) and react much faster. It's already to the point of stopping the car when a deer or bicyclist runs out in front of you, and it'll keep getting better. Driving is by far the most dangerous thing people do every day, so it would be stupid to not solve that problem.
    • 2 years of delays for an AI that had the lead to begin with. How sad. Good thing they came out with Apple Vision because people are lining up at the door for that one. /s
    • Steam finally has a native app for Apple Silicon Macs by Taras Buria About half a decade ago, Apple released the first Apple Silicon-based Macs with ARM processors, kicking off its chip revolution and severing ties with Intel. These chips were received to critical acclaim, and many developers optimized their apps for ARM relatively quickly—not Valve, though. Valve is only now getting ready to ship a native Steam client for macOS. The latest Steam Beta update is finally optimized for Apple Silicon, which means the app no longer relies on Rosetta 2, Apple's translation layer that emulates x86 applications on ARM-based chips. It is hardly surprising that it took Valve so long to optimize its client for Apple Silicon, considering Apple's low market share on Steam. Valve's monthly Hardware and Software Survey (check out the latest data here) shows that macOS has only 1.85% of all users, which is hardly what you call a priority. The survey's page itself makes it clear that the results help developers decide where to invest their time and effort. In recent years, Apple Silicon has made big strides in terms of graphical performance, which has made Mac a better gaming platform than before. Apple is also not giving up on its ongoing effort to make gaming on Mac more attractive. Every macOS release introduces new tools for developers and gamers (the recently announced iOS/iPadOS/macOS 26 received a new "Gaming" hub). Unfortunately for Apple, Macs still aren't popular for gaming, and the fact that it took Valve five years to optimize Steam for Apple Silicon just shows how difficult it is to convince everyone that Mac can game, too. In addition to native Apple Silicon support, the latest Steam Client Beta introduced improvements for Steam Chat, In-Game Overlay, and SteamOS. The complete changelog is available on the official Steam Community page.
