Examples of well encoded 1080p

[Chengbin]

Are there any well encoded samples of 1080p (around 20-30mbps) encoded by x264 that shows real 1080p quality that is not low passed?

Are there any >1080p sources that we can use to test encode to 1080p? Or is Blu-ray the best source we'll get for a while?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

The "Crowdrun" sample comes to my mind. Also the OpenMovies "Elephants Dream" and "Big Buck Bunny" ;)

The Crowdrun sample is STUNNING, but I have no way to play it! How do I play this! I have a Q6600, is that enough? (I'm guessing no)

I can't believe this is only crf 22, and the video is like 280mbps.

[Chengbin]

We definitely need a more advanced codec for 2160p! (No offense to x264). CRF 22 = 334MB for a 10 second clip is, umm, downright outrageous.

How do I check the x264 settings on this video? Mediainfo doesn't show.

[Dark Shikari]

It's 50 frames per second raw camera footage, what do you expect?

Almost all the "detail" is noise; you could almost surely encode it at 50-70 megabits without significant loss.

[Chengbin]

50-70mbps for 2160p or 1080p?

[Dark Shikari]

50-70mbps for 2160p or 1080p?2160p, of course.

Bah, x264 is just fine. And it will be just fine for a long long time. The next evolution will probably be wavelet based, but those won't be in a "working" state for a long while. Too many hurdles to cross first.

First of all we need a screen to show 2160p in it's native resolution. And that screen either needs to be LARGE or you need to sit really close to see all the detail/noise :p

AVInaptic is your friend here:

[XhmikosR]

Latest MediaInfo should work also, or at least it works with my 2160p encoded test videos:

Is there an automated way to download all the png files from "Elephants Dream" and "Big Buck Bunny". Also, what avisynth script will combine the png files?

Any decent download tool will be able to do so (e.g. DownThemAll!). And Avisynth' ImageSource() is your friend ;)

[XhmikosR]

You can use Orbit Downloader or a similar program to batch download all the png images.

I used ImageReader in my avisynth script.

ImageReader("../3_DucksTakeOff_2160p50_CgrLevels_MASTER_SVTdec05_\%d.png", use_DevIL=false, start=12987, end=13486, fps=50)

EDIT:
Lord_Mulder beat me to it.:)

That's my problem. Also, I can't get it to play smoothly anyway. Hardware acceleration doesn't work. ffdshow would only use like 1.5 core.

CoreAVC doesn't support that resolution. You may try DivX 7 H.264 Decoder or the multi-threaded MPlayer with "gl:yuv=2" renderer:

But generally I would downscale that 2160p clip to 1080p and re-encode. That should give you a "high quality" 1080p source ;)

[Chengbin]

No wonder CoreAVC doesn't work.

[ajp_anton]

In timecodec, ffdshow-mt decodes it at 48fps (95% CPU) and DivX at 61fps (85% CPU) on a 3.3GHz i7 with HT. Can't get it to play smoothly in MPC though...

[Chengbin]

What should I use to play it. I used MPC when I tried to play it.

I guess my computer will not be able to play it at 50fps (I have a crappy Q6600 at 2.4Ghz)

Downscale it to your native screen resolution and re-encode. Then you should be able to play it smooth and you don't loose anything...

Try to encode those 2160p image but I got a problem. Using this scrip

ImageSource("D:\Project\2_ParkJoy_2160p50_CgrLevels_MASTER_SVTdec05\%d.sgi", use_DevIL=false, start=15523, end=16022, fps=50)
ConvertToYV12()

and when I open it with AvsP and press preview, I get a bunch of error messages

And can't encode it properly too(can' not open avs file). Any help?

Edit: use x264 x86 and it work, but stop at 16th frame. x264 report:

with such a high resolution i would take a gander that your problem is that you're over allocating memory past the 2GB limit for x86 programs....
