might be a bug in 'minimize command line', not totally sure, will look at it when the debug output is approved,...

hevc-aq documentaion:

--hevc-aq

Enable adaptive quantization It scales the quantization step size according to the spatial activity of one coding unit relative to frame average spatial activity. This AQ method utilizes the minimum variance of sub-unit in each coding unit to represent the spatial complexity of the coding unit.

-> 'hevc-aq'

so it's an issue with 'minimize command line'.

so looking at command line before setting psy-rd to zero:

x265 --input - --output-depth 10 --y4m --profile main10 --limit-modes --no-early-skip --no-open-gop --opt-ref-list-length-pps --crf 18.00 --opt-qp-pps --cbqpoffs -2 --crqpoffs -2 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --limit-refs 0 --ssim-rd --psy-rd 2.50 --rdoq-level 2 --psy-rdoq 10.00 --aq-mode 0 --hevc-aq --no-cutree --deblock=-1:-1 --limit-sao --no-repeat-headers --range limited --colormatrix unknown --output OUTPUTFILE

and with psy-rd to 0:

x265 --tune psnr --input - --output-depth 10 --y4m --profile main10 --limit-modes --no-early-skip --no-open-gop --opt-ref-list-length-pps --crf 18.00 --opt-qp-pps --cbqpoffs -2 --crqpoffs -2 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --limit-refs 0 --ssim-rd --rdoq-level 2 --psy-rdoq 10.00 --hevc-aq --no-cutree --deblock=-1:-1 --limit-sao --no-repeat-headers --range limited --colormatrix unknown --output OUTPUTFILE

before: --psy-rd 2.50 --aq-mode 0 --hevc-aq
after: --tune psnr -hevc-aq

checking tune psnr:

if (!strcmp(tune, "psnr"))
{
    param->rc.aqStrength = 0.0;
    param->psyRd = 0.0;
    param->psyRdoq = 0.0;
}

see: https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/...mmon/param.cpp (line 566-571)
so: "--aq-strength 0 --psy-rd 0 --psy-rdoq 0"
since "--aq-strength 0" should be the same as "--aq-mode 0".

now looking again at before and after:
before: --psy-rd 2.50 --aq-mode 0 --hevc-aq
after: --tune psnr --hevc-aq = --aq-mode 0 --psy-rd 0 --psy-rdoq 0 --hevc-aq
since after also has '--psy-rdoq 10.00'
after = --aq-mode 0 --psy-rd 0 --psy-rdoq 10.00 --hevc-aq

-> don't see where Hybrid is making a mistake. those command lines should be identical unless '--tune psnr' has other side effect that I don't know about.

removing command line minimization for 'tune', Hybrid would use:

-> so seems like '--tune psnr' does have additional side effects that were not documented (or where I do not know where it is documented).

AOM
Profile: high, 8bit&10bit, color sampling: 420 - crash encoding;
Profile: pro, 8bit&10bit, color sampling: 420 - crash encoding.

[Selur]

Yeah, seems like the 'high'-profile is now restricted to 4:4:4 as the error it gives is: "Profile 1 requires 4:4:4 color format" and for the 'pro'-profile I get 'Profile 2 bit-depth <= 10 requires 4:2:2 color format"

I assumed:

Main Profile (0) is 8/10-bit 4:2:0 or Monochrome (4:0:0)
High Profile (1) is 8/10-bit 4:2:0, 4:4:4, Monochrome
Professional Profile (2) is 8/10/12-bit, 4:2:0, 4:2:2, 4:4:4, Monochrome

but seems like they limited it to:

Main Profile (0) is 8/10-bit 4:2:0
High Profile (1) is 8/10-bit 4:4:4
Professional Profile (2) is 8/10/12-bit, 4:2:2, 4:4:4

[sneaker_ger]

AFAIK:

Main Profile (0) is 8/10-bit 4:2:0
High Profile (1) is 8/10-bit 4:4:4
Professional Profile (2) is 12-bit with any sub-sampling; plus 8, 10 bit with 4:2:2

So there is (and always has been) 0 choice about the profile when encoding with a given bitdepth and sub-sampling.

[Selur]

ah okay,...

AOM
Golden frame dist max: 1 - crash with any settings.

[Selur]

I can reproduce the crash, it even gives and error:

Failed to control codec: Invalid parameter
    max_gf_interval out of range [AOMMAX(2, extra_cfg->min_gf_interval)..(MAX_LAG_BUFFERS - 1)]

-> so it needs to be at least 2 and below 'max frames to lag' -1

Ps.: Note that Vapoursynth now allows to change the filter order of each filter individually, but this requires to reset the default filter order.

@Selur

Did you try Anime4KCPP under AviSynth? It gives an access violation here.

[Selur]

@stax76: tried it, didn't work for me either. Did not spend time on it since it works on Vapoursynth.

Cu Selur

[stax76]

OK, thanks.

any tutorial for installing on ubuntu 18.04?

[Selur]

not that i know of.
It's basically download Hybrids package, extract it and start and start the hybrid/Hybrid binary.
For adding Vapoursynth support see: https://github.com/Selur/hybrid-vapoursynth-addon

How to fix this error?

[Selur]

What error do you mean?
-> Ah, now I see a screeshot.
That happens when using vnc iirc. (see: https://forum.selur.net/Thread-Insta...untu-18-04-VNC + https://forum.selur.net/Thread-Hybri...n-x-server-1-0)
May be forcing a 'platform' like mentioned in the thread helps.
