C:\Users\ashlar42\Documents\StaxRip\Apps\Encoders\NVEnc\NVEncC64.exe --cqp 18:20:22 --preset quality --vpp-resize cubic_catmull --output-res 720x392 -i "E:\Movie\Movie.avs" -o "E:\Movie_temp\Movie_out.h264"

resize: --vpp-resize cubic_catmull requires "nppi64_80.dll", not available on your system.
resize: switching to spline36.

This after copying nppi64_80.dll from the NVENC directory under StaxRip to SysWOW64.

Maybe the nvencc author knows what's wrong.

Ok, I discovered one thing. I updated from a previous version of StaxRip and, before, the path was StaxRip/Apps/NVENC. Now it's StaxRip/Apps/Encoders/NVENC, which is why the file was not found. I copied all the files in the correct directory but now I suspect the problem is different, since I'm getting a different error...
resize: failed to resize: -22, NPP_INTERPOLATION_ERROR.

I suspect there's a problem with the CUDA SDK files version. In StaxRip there are functions exposed that are not supported out of the box, as the needed CUDA DLLs are not in the installation file. So now I'm using old files or wrong files, I don't know.

@ashlar42

I cannot test it because my graphics card don't support nvenc.

[stax76]

Currently, it's 200 MB download size and 600 MB disk space.

Would it make sense to offer three downloads, one with VapourSynth, one with AviSynth and one with both?

What would you download? I'd take both I guess.

The most complete.

Same for me.

I'm sorry NVENC cannot be tested. Maybe in the future.

Maybe I'll buy a better card in the future. I had a GTX 1060 but lost my PC in an unfortunate incident and didn't want to bother spending much time and money to build a new one, so I just bought a basic HP PC with i5-8400 CPU that can fit a GT 1030 card, I don't know if I can fit a better card in this PC due to possible heat and power restrictions.

I'm not sure GT 1030 is good enough for UHD content, I had a file recently (see below) which I can't get to play fluently, other UHD files are better.

i will take avisynth full pack. for vapoursynth encoding I would need atleast 32 GB ram. I can do same thing (not as efficient as vapoursynth) in avisynth in ~2 GB

You could add another gtx 1060 in there fine. Pascal cards are super effecient. Might need to buy an adapted for PSU. A gtx 1650 or gtx 1050 would even suffice.

Does vapoursynth really use that much RAM? Is it faster or something?

yes it does. in my test it took 10 GB ram in just 4 filters. but encoding was faster. supports 16bit natively. multi threaded. etc. its great for heavy pcs.

I was thinking about learning it here soon, but my home server rig is only outfitted with 16gb ram. I won't add more until I upgrade to a wider home server. Hopefully a 16+ core threadripper or ryzen 3xxx.

The PC is called HP Pavilion 590-p0599ng and the PSU has 180 W, the CPU 65 W, if it fits well I consider buying a GTX 1650.

You could easily slap a 25 dollar evga 450 watt psu in there and put what ever card you desire in there. You can buy mini cards of almost every one of those.

However the gtx 1650 is fully powered by the motherboard, no need for any pci e wires from PSU. (You buy the base clocked model)

Sounds good.

I hear that Nvidia GTX 1650 doesn't have Turing-encoding, it uses old Volta Nvidia Encoder (NVENC) for GPU-encoding.

That's an easy to play 4K50 fps HEVC 10bit file, due to the very low bitrate (frame rate is high though)

Especially for GPUs, any chip with a fixed-function unit (AMD from Polaris onward, nVidia from Maxwell 2nd gen onward, Intel Kabylake onward) could handle it easily.
