Hybrid(Windows/Linux/Mac): Input -> x264/x265/Xvid/VP8/VP9

[Music Fan]

Ok, so its compression is between Lagarith and Huffyuv.
I read that Huffyuv was better than Lagarith for captures because it needs less CPU which could help to get less lost (dropped) frames during capture, despite its higher bitrate. And a compression in Lagarith can be done after to save space. The problem is that I can't make work Huffyuv correctly (the colorspace is always rgb even when I choose yuy2, while I unticked "always suggest rgb"), that's why I was interested by ffvHuff.

[Selur]

Like I wrote before if your software only support vfw codecs, using ffdshow should help.

[Music Fan]

Right, I forgot that (because I never used ffdshow to encode).
I edited my previous post to clarify the problem with Huffyuv.

[Music Fan]

But I guess that if I use ffdshow for ffvHuff encoding, the ffvHuff version used will be quiet old because ffdshow seems abandoned.
No in fact, I just see there is a new version ;

[Selur]

Yes, there is. I think that should be enough of the really off-topic stuff in this thread. Best open a new thread if you have further non-Hybrid related problems&questions.

• tools: tool arrangement under windows, to avoid problems which occurred on systems with missing run-times. Tools are now split over three locations:
  • program folder: here are all the static tools
  • 'dynamic'-sub-folder: here are all the tools which are only available as a. 32bit and b. dynamically linked
  • 'dynamicX'-sub-folder: here are all the tools which are available as 32bit and 64bit versions and dynamically linked

*NOTICE*

yay major updates (ノ￣ω￣)ノ

[DJ-1]

Is there a huge difference in unis uninstalling & before new versions are installed..... I usually installed & check the 'reset defaults' during install..

[Selur]

a. normally 'reset defaults' is not needed (at least I try to keep everything compatible)
b. this time uninstallation is recommend since the file locations changed (see changelog) to avoid problems when Visual C++ 2010 or 2013 runtime aren't installed
So resetting defaults doesn't hurt, not cleaning the Hybrid folder might.

[DJ-1]

Ahh ok... Cheers.

Does not launch with QSVEncC.exe. Says that was an appcrash QSVEncC.exe (64). Fresh Windows 7 install. It was workinf fine on the previous OS. Launches without QSVEncC.exe

[Selur]

Hmm,... might be that it requires DirectX to be installed.
What happens if you call QSVEncC from a windows prompt (terminal)? Any error message?

Everything is fine. It tells that there is an error due to no command given but the same is on the other OS and it works... kinda. read further. DirectX Web setup says I was fine already and I believe te problem might be in missing some files in Windows folder maybe? As I said read further.


Man, this program looks great but...

Another try installing on Windows 8.1:
1. Installed fine and working. YEY! Immediately updated Intel HD 4000 driver to the latest OEM (15.33.22.64.3621) and... Can't launch Hybryd anymore LOL! It can't find msvcP120.dll.
I copied 2 files from Dynamic and DynamicX to SysWOW64 and System32 flders and it worked.
2. Decided to doublecheck again and uninstalled Hybrid (fully with Uninstall manager). Installed again (as admin) and... this time it couldn't launch because couldn't find msvcR120.dll! Funny
As I found out this time it was missing just in a folder SysWOW64.

Update: Reinstalled driver Intel HD 15.33.22.64.3621 on Windows 7 and it worked now.

Could somebody tell me if it is possible to encode video in LOSSLESS with Hybrid?

[Selur]

a. Like the changelog mentioned a de- and reinstall was recommend.

*NOTICE*

• Windows: it's recommend to uninstall old Hybrid versions (settings do not have to be removed) before installing this or a newer version

b. Unless you tell me which program is complaining about a dll, I can't fix it.

Could somebody tell me if it is possible to encode video in LOSSLESS with Hybrid?

Yes it is.

• x264 in lossless mode
• FFV1
• UT Video
• FFvHuff

are all lossless (you will still suffer losses if you do color conversions or filtering, but the output of the decoder will be compressed lossless)

[Ajvar]

Thank you. I will use one of those encoders for lossless.

I did not have any older version of Hybrid. As I told I installed it on 2 freshly installed OS: Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.

And as for a program which is complaining about dll... it is Hybrid_2014.7.3.1 It ass complaining about dlls. Some error message like qaas is empty or smth like that.
Now it seems launch fine even if I move those files from Windows folder so I just happy that it works.

[Selur]

It is complaining about dlls

Hybrid itself should not be able to complain about a missing dll, only the tools used by Hybrid should be able to.
-> Look at the window again, normally you should get something like:

---------------------------
mp4fpsmod.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

(the content of such popups normally can be copied using ctrl+c )

So if we uninstall with Windows ("add or remove programs"), that's enough and the settings and profiles are not lost ?

[Selur]

"add or remove programs" simply calls Hybrids uninstaller, which at the end of the installation asks whether or not you want to delete the settings&co.
