Question: My old MacBook Pro 15" 2015 with Mojave playbacks very smooth 60fps 1080p video in REAPER (AVFoundation decoder). How to get the same smoothness 60fps playback on 12-core PC (Windows 10)? I tried different ffmpeg/vlc/dshow decoders and used recommended codecs, but I still jerky playback ~35fps in blank project (only video). Doubling the frame rate to 120 fps doesn't help. Video frame rate in the Project settings corresponds to the video item properties.

Question: REAPER's backwards compatibility is extreme, the technical engineering decisions mostly excellent or something very close to that. Detailed oriented at the maximum level, perfectionist? Very admirable, well done Justin!

Reply on September 2 2020, 9:35pm:
    Some things I do find myself obsessing over details on, other things not so much... so a scattered perfectionist, maybe?

Question: Is icc still the best option for REAPER? or fair for all users? agner.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6

    I'm sorry that I don't have a good answer for this. Changing toolsets is something that we can't do lightly. On Windows if we did ditch ICC we would also need to move to a more modern compiler, which raises other issues. Though I suppose most users on Windows are using 64-bit at this point, which might require less changes.

    If I had to give a simple answer, it would be: maybe not, but it's too big of an undertaking to change at the moment.

Question: Hello Justin, I've read your other answsers about releasing REAPER as FOSS and I have some thoughts. Why not release it without the 3rd party proprietary bits like elastique and VST2? Also, if you don't want to deal with patches you can always make a "community edition" without your direct involvement and use a trademark to prevent forks from using the REAPER name. If you ever organized a crowdfund campaign for it, I think the FOSS community could match a few years' revenue, not sure though...

Question: What's your favourite programming book? Do you follow clean code rules? Do you use functionoids?

Reply on August 25 2020, 2:08pm:
    I haven't read a programming book in ages. Not sure what "clean code rules" are but I'm sure I have plenty of my own rules! Functionoids, yes, sometimes. LICE uses something close to that with templates for blend modes...

Question: Are you worried that some more left leaning liberals will not vote for JB, similar to what happened to HC?

    Yeah that is a worry, hopefully people can suck it up and do the least-bad thing though. :/ I do know people who voted for GJ/JS in 2016 and will vote for Biden this time, though, so that's maybe encouraging?
