x265: a good compromise between "slow" and "slower" presets?
Hi.
I wanted to do some encoding using x265 (ver 3.0), but i can't quite decide on the settings. Preset "slow" has pretty good encoding speed, enough that i wouldn't mind sacrificing some to get a bit higher quality encodes, but the next available preset is like 3-4x slower, which is way too slow for me. I want to tune "slow" preset to be a bit closer to "slower", and i've looked up the parameters they use, but i'm not sure which of them would offer a good tradeoff between speed and quality. I tried reading docs, but they're too technical for me to understand and don't really offer any advice. So i was wondering if anyone could give me a rough outline of which parameters would have what effect on quality/encoding speed? Thanks. Here's the list of parameters that are different between the two presets: Code:
slow slower bframes 4 8 rc-lookahead 25 40 lookahead-slices 4 1 ref 4 5 limit-refs 3 1 subme 3 4 amp 0 1 max-merge 3 4 recursion-skip 1 0 b-intra 0 1 weightb 0 1 rdLevel 4 6 tu-intra 1 3 tu-inter 1 3 limit-tu 0 4 Last edited by iz-Moff; 12th October 2019 at 18:45. |
