Great program, one quick Question and on issue I have with your tool.

1. Is there a 64Bit version of your avs viewer? It's a great little tool to use to see the changes. I can't use it with some of my filters due to the filters are 64Bit. It would really help specially when trying to de-noise some videos.

2. One thing I've noticed when using it, Maybe it's the filter not 100% sure. It's when you use Rec.2020 it dishes out errors and refuses to load any preview. When using Rec.601 and Rec.709 it's perfectly fine. I'm not trying to do some massive color changes like 601 to 2020.

[Selur]

about the errors: would need more details to reproduce the issue. (I usually don't use avsViewer as a standalone tool :))
about a 64bit version: Hybrid only uses 32bit filters and thus only comes with a 32bit avsViewer.
btw. source code of avsViewer is available over at https://github.com/Selur/avsViewer/
(compiled a 64bit version and added it to my Google Drive (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_WxUS1XGCPASUZibG5XZkRfeTg?usp=sharing).)

Hello there,

When setting both ConvertBits(16) and Crop "function" on a 8-bit source within the same script file before feeding it into x264-10bit encoder, which feature should be set as first?

Thanks for the help in advance.

[Selur]

Shouldn't matter since Crop isn't bit depth dependent.
Also: If you are using Hybrid, there should be no need to add anything lik a 'ConvertBits(16)' manually. Hybrid will adjust the Avisynth/Vapoursynth script depending to the output bit depth of the encoder.
-> ARGH, it doesn't do that anymore, must have lost that when I switched to Avisynth+ (will add again; bit depth conversion atm. is done through ffmpeg)

You can add for HEVC the ability to select a simplified %25,50,75,100 CPU load (in the base tab)? It is convenient for ordinary users.
For x264 do not see the setting of the threading?

[Selur]

I have no clue how to control either x264 or any hevc encoder that way ( + personally I see no usage for such a feature.)
-> if either x264 or x265 supports that I can add an option for it
If you want such a feature you can try to contact the x264 and x265 developers. (same for all other encoders where you want that option)

HI @Selur
thank you for this amazing program
is it possible to add MSU color_enhancement Filter
http://www.compression.ru/video/color_enhancement/index_en.html
it is "VirtualDub Plugin" that we can use as "HDRAGC" in avisynth, the key benefit on use it, that it can enhance shadows as hdragc+ compress highlights also.
it would be nice if you can add it to your great program
thank you

[Selur]

Hybrid already has 'HDRAGC' through: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=93571
That aside I'm not so keen on adding a VirtualDub filter, since:
a. I have no clue how the VirtualDub filter would need to be called through Avisynth. (main problem)
b. Looking at the license I would need get permission from MSU Video Group to redistribute the filter.
In case you can give me some info on how to access this filter through Avisynth I can look into the permission form MSU Video Group.

-> Judging by https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=162158 it doesn't look like it's possible to use 'MSU Color Enhancement'-filter in Avisynth, thus I can't add it to Hybrid.

I had a chance to use the app again and test rec 2020.

It seem the issue is due to the fact that 2020cl is used. If you change it from 2020cl to 2020ncl there is no issues. I think cl requires additional colorspace functions to proper work inside VS (I think Transfer has to be used as well). I don't see a option for transfer so it has to be entered manually.

It might be worth looking into, Could also be a bug within VS as well. I know others have ran into the issue as well when trying to use 2020cl.

------

One additional question, Is there reason why you never considered updating AVS filters to 64 Bit? I'm guessing it's due to the fact that many filters only have 32 Bit versions.

[Selur]

Is there reason why you never considered updating AVS filters to 64 Bit? I'm guessing it's due to the fact that many filters only have 32 Bit versions.
Multiple reasons:

yes, a bunch of filters in Hybrid are 32bit only
64bit used to be really buggy
I decided to go for 64bit Vapoursynth since it: a. performed better for me b. it's available on Mac and Linux too (I hate to use Wine (https://www.winehq.org) since it's always buggy for me and I always have to build the latest version and then even have to try to patch that version and still be stuck with bugs)

My main reasons nowadays not to look into Avisynth 64bit is that:
a. it's Windows only
b. I'm to lazy to change tons of lines of code to add switches depending on whether 64bit or 32bit Avisynth is used. (I recently changed in Hybrid from Avisynth MT to Avisynth+ MT which was annoying enough. ;))

Cu Selur

[Forteen88]

Selur, you wrote in Hybrid that:
"Use gpu for decoding":
When enabled Hybrid will add '-hwaccel auto' to ffmpeg decoding calls.

This option has no effect if the selected hwaccel is not available or not supported by the chosen decoder (only mpeg-2, H.264, VC-1 and WMV3 content are supported atm.).
Note that most acceleration methods are intended for playback and will not be faster than software decoding on modern CPUs. Additionally, ffmpeg will usually need to copy the decoded frames from the GPU memory into the system memory, resulting in further performance loss. So this option might not provide any additional speed and thus is mainly useful for testing.Does that mean that the program DGDecNV (which uses Nvidia's CUDA to decode video-frames) is also pointless and is only mainly useful for testing? I haven't done benchmarks on any of those GPU-decoders yet.

EDIT: OK, thanks for the answer Selur.

[Selur]

Does that mean that the program DGDecNV (which uses Nvidia's CUDA to decode video-frames) is also pointless and is only mainly useful for testing?
No. The 'use gpu for decoding' option only does anything when the decoding is done through ffmpeg on it's own. It has nothing to do with any Avisynth or Vapoursynth filters.
-> So if you use Avisynth or Vapoursynth this option does nothing. :)

The second issue, I can't post any logs since it's tied to start-up. Everytime I try to start Hybrid the splash screens loads but then the program just crashes. The second time always loads flawlessly. I think it's something to do with looking for GPU's or with QT. This PC has a very old GPU and is AMD, not sure if that has any affect on the start-up.

[Selur]

About the Vapoursynth script:
What error does the Cropview show when you load that script?
Does the normal Vapoursynth preview work? If not what error does the Vapoursynth Preview show?
(Also loading can take a while since Waifu2x is really slow, too slow to use in my option,...)

Without knowing anything about the source other than that that it is YUV 4:2:0 8bit I got no clue.
-> Not enough data to reproduce.
Everytime I try to start Hybrid the splash screens loads but then the program just crashes. The second time always loads flawlessly.
If you set a default output folder and enable the debug output at level 9, save those settings and restart you should get a debug output of the startup.
Wild guess would be that QSVEncC, VCEEncC or NVEncC causes the crash. Adding those to the ignorelist could workaround this, but need to know more details to know for sure.

Without Waifu2x it loads fine.

It's unlikely worth the effort to deal with Waifu2x. With separate tests outside of Hybrid, It loads but it's ungodly slow. Not worth using without being used by a High End GPU.

I'll try use the ignorelist to see what happens.

Please either post proper sentences stating what you want or refrain from posting.
Having to wildly guess what you might want isn't something I'm inclined to do.
So not sure what you want, but since the specification for av1 inside mkv isn't finalized it's not supported by mkvmerge atm. so Hybrid doesn't allow AV1 in mkv. Afaik there is no specification for muxing av1 inside an mp4 container, which is why Hybrid doesn't support muxing AV1 into an mkv container.

I updated to the newest version last night. Drag-and-dropped a file, used my usual settings, (checked them multiple times), but the encoding speed was 3x faster than usual, and the estimated file size output was 4x bigger than expected.

I was curious what the output video would look like, but the encoding crashed towards the end. I closed Hybrid, re-opened Hybrid, drag-and-dropped the file again, and the speed returned to normal (slower) and the output has turned out as expected, on multiple files.

This is on Windows 10 and AMD 1700, and after a reboot right before updating. I didn't think anything of it until reading tola5's post and seeing he's also using AMD Ryzen. Though his speed went slower, not faster. I don't use any presets.

I don't know why closing and re-opening Hybrid fixed it, but it did.

Windows 10.
Hybrid 2018.8.05.1 had been working great. :thanks:

Updated to 2018.10.21 and got the problem mentioned on your forum about drag and dropping multiple files and then output or something renames them in a way which overwrites previous output files. You made a dev fix version and then released 2018.11.01.

Updated to 2018.11.01 today. Hybrid crashes and closes while loading a drag and dropped file. Reading the top Hybrid header as it loads the file, it looks like it goes through "extracting" fine but then hangs on something about "MP4audio." The input files are mkv.

I spent a couple hours messing with it. Different versions, updating, uninstalling completely, rebooting, installing. I've had previous troubles with 2018.10.21, such as it crashes, Windows gives a popup window of "x265.exe" still being open, and Hybrid wouldn't open again until after rebooting the computer. Something like that. Sorry for lacking more specifics. I figured it was a one-time thing with my computer or with that particular Hybrid version.

After a full install of 2018.10.21, then update to 2018.11.01, 2018.11.01 wouldn't open and gave errors that it can't find a few avs something .dll files. Something about AVCSEE and GotTools.

Reinstalling 2018.8.05.1 worked again, and then updating it to 2018.11.01 allowed 2018.11.01 to open again. Though it did the same "MP4audio" (?) crash and close when drag and dropping a file again. So, the error was repeatable, and with different files. Some have AC3, others have AAC. I also downloaded 11.01 a second time in case the first setup file was corrupted somehow during download.

Completely uninstalled Hybrid again, tried 2018.10.07.1, and that one is working completely fine so far as I type this.

I don't know what's going on with 2018.11.01, (and 2018.10.21.1 to a lesser extent). Maybe it's just me. But I saw a thread about someone having problems when loading a file, and the problem was being diagnosed as something with the audio. So, figured I'd mention this and the "MP4audio" crash to help diagnose it in case it's not just me.

I would like to know how to choose NVENCC as encoder?
I bought a 2070 recently, but I cannot find it in the drop down list of video and "Config->Tools".

How can I activate it?

:thanks:

You can't since Hybrid doesn't support those atm. :)
What is the exact naming Hybrid reports your card? (see Log)
(I don't own one and https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus doesn't list those currently., same goes for all 20XX cards.)

Detected the following cards which seem to lack NVIDIA PureVideo support: Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 GeForce RTX 2070

Is this correct?
Since I found some of the changelog starting with "Video: NVEncC",
I think I can use NVEncC in hybrid:(
