Hybrid: Input -> x264/x265/Xvid/VP8/VP9

[Selur]

Please, try to make whole sentences it's getting harder and harder to guess what you want to say.
No clue what cqr is.
Combining cq (= constantquantizer) with aq (adaptive quantizer) makes no sense.
Combining lossless with noise reduction doesn't make sense either.
Last I checked adpative quantization in aomenc requires 2pass encoding, so anything that isn't 2pass encoding can't use it.
Might be that some disabling of features is wrong in the gui, but without details I'm not looking into it.

2-pass mod - noise reduction box is unlocked > change the mode to: abr (or) q, cq, lossless > return back to 2-pass mod - noise reduction box is blocked (The reason is to switch --auto-alt-ref=1 to --auto-alt-ref=0).

[Gravitator]

Combining cq (= constantquantizer) with aq (adaptive quantizer) makes no sense.
I have observed improvement (the reflection of the water and the edge of the trees) > Example (https://files.videohelp.com/u/227452/AOM%20%28q_aq0_aq1%29.zip)

[Selur]

Okay, if they now support 1pass with adaptive quantizer I could add support for it in Hybrid. (Like I wrote, that didn't work last time I checked.)

Ps.: For Debian/Ubuntu Linux Users: I tried writing a build-vapoursynth and build-plugins script, see: https://github.com/Selur/hybrid-vapoursynth-addon Hope someone get's inspired and makes this more usable. :)

[ReinerSchweinlin]

Thanx a lot for the update :) Nice to see the Vulkan implementation of waifu2x together with the 1x upscale option - its very usefull to clean up anime stuff!!

One thing I noticed: Doing just this Waifu2x cleanup, I can´t output to fv1 anymore, which worked before. So I just Prores which is fine for the moment.

Hybrid really become my favorite tool for all kinds of filtering and conversion!

Thanx!

Hi there,

Thx Selur for this wonderful piece of software.

I'm reencoding an HEVC / HDR video with NVEnc (FFmpeg).
Encoding video stream works fine, but patching for HDR signaling fails.

My system: ubuntu 20.04, python 3.8.2

# ./nvhsp -full_range tv -colorprim bt2020 -colormatrix bt2020nc -transfer smpte-st-2084 -maxcll 1000 -maxfall 300 -chromaloc 2 -masterdisplay "G(13250,34500)B(7500,3000)R(34000,16000)WP(15635,16450)L(10000000,1)" "/tmp/sample_new.265" "/tmp/sample_new_hdr.265"

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Any idea?

UPDATE: BTW it works fine in Windows

[Selur]

No clue. Seems like nvshp aborts since it can't properly parse'-full_range tv', but according to the code (https://github.com/SK-Hardwired/nv_hevc_hdr_patcher/blob/master/nvhsp.py) it should work.
in line 29 range_list is defined as:
range_list = ['tv','full']
then in line 38 we have:
full_range = range_list.index(args.full_range)
so full_range should be zero.
My guess is that this is due to some change in Python.
You best contact the nvhsp author since I can't really say anything more,... (https://github.com/SK-Hardwired/nv_hevc_hdr_patcher)

Also tried with HEVC "encoder version 3.4+12-geff904199" same effect.

My guess is that:
analysis-save-reuse-level can be set only when analysis-save is enabled. Resetting analysis-save-reuse-level to 0.
is the problem, but atm. no clue how the x265 folks think that this feature should be used.

The default parameters for NVenc in Hybrid include:


-spatial-aq 0 -temporal_aq 0


But if I copy the command into the terminal and run it, ffmpeg outputs a warning that the temporal_aq option is unused -- unless I change it to:


-spatial-aq 0 -temporal-aq 0


Is this just a typo in the GUI or would it affect the output?

I was using the parameters set by Hybrid as the starting point for some tests with ffmpeg on Ubuntu 20.04 when I noticed the message.

[Sharc]

NVEnc(ffmpeg) has been abandoned in Hybrid. Only NVEncC is supported in newer releases.
Edit: .... abandoned for Windows only; sorry.

According to recent update of ffmpeg 4.3.1, ffmpeg -h encoder=h264_nvenc indicates that both syntax are accepted, i.e.

Since the https://github.com/Selur/hybrid-vapoursynth-addon is clearly broken (building Vapoursynth seems to work, building plugins seems to work, but vscript and vspipe fails) and I lack the time/knowledge/motivation to spend tons of time to look into fixing this I'm thinking about dropping Linux support as a whole and turn Hybrid into a Windows only tool.

Totally understandable. Let me take the opportunity to thank you for the wonderfull programm you are building here all this time.

Can't try it.
It starts to initialize then closes ....

[Selur]

Hmm,.. works fine here. :/
Can you try if it works if you move the content of your settings folder?

[Sharc]

Yes, this helped. I just lost my configurations, however.

Edit:
Copying the former settings back piece by piece and see where it crashes .........

[Selur]

If you figure out what it is let me know and I can probably fix it. :)

[Sharc]

I could so far recover most of it, but disableIcons=true in the misc.ini has no effect .... (I prefer the test buttons).

[Selur]

Yeah, that option is removed due to complains that it breaks the layout, not sure whether it will return.

Hybrid rev 2020.10.11.1:
*fixed*

Vapoursynth: TDeintMod in VIVTC and FixCombed
Muxing: always used ffmpeg for mkv muxing

*changed*

Vapoursynth: add 'Use RGB' for Limiter and Levels and use it as default.
Vapoursynth: extend compatible TimeCube color spaces by RGBS

*added*

Filtering: "fieldmatch + yadif + deint + decimate2" as IVTC through FFmpeg method.

*removed*

Vapoursynth: support for mClean due to missing TemporalMedian library. (MacOS only)

x265
Enabled hevc-aq and disabled psy-rd results no-hevc-aq (In the MInfo output file).

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

-> '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/x265_git/src/master/source/common/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.

-> 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.

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

*changed*

x265: using --scenecut-aware-qp <0..3> and --masking-strength <string> instead of --[no-]scenecut-aware-qp, --scenecut-window <0..1000>, --qp- delta-ref <0..10> and --qp-delta-nonref <0..10
x265: support for --vbv-live-multi-pass, --max-vbv-fullness, --min-vbv- fullness
x265: support for --min-vbv-fullness & --max-vbv-fullness
Synth: Avisynth, removed 'enableAvisynthForDVD' it's always assumed to be enabled now
Synth: Vapoursynth, added overwrite Smooth/Super/Vectors to Interframe
UI: removed simple view for Xvid and x264
Synth: Reset Avisynth and Vapoursynth filter order when filter count changed.
Synth: Avisynth´, force use of D2VSource instead of DGDecode when 64bit Avisynth is used (there does not seem to be any working 64bit DGDecode.dll)
UI: Rearranged the Vapoursynth filters into groups
Tools: FFMpeg, using '-video_size' instead of '-s'
Tools: FFMpeg use ignore_editlist for mov/mp4/3gb input
Synth: Avisynth, limit QTGMC imports
Synth: enforce Crop < Rotate < Resize < Letterbox order in custom filter orders
Synth: Vapoursynth, now also allows interlaced output of scripts
Video: FFvHuFF set output color space
Muxing: use '-of avi' instead of '-of lavf' when muxing to .avi using mencoder
Synth: Vapoursynth, support RGBS in Limiter and Levels
x265: disabled 'replace tune' in 'minimize command line', since atleast '--tune psnr' has some unknown side effects, see: https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265_git/issues/575/can-someone-clear-up-why-tune-psnr

*added*

Output: PNG output, use together with 'raw' as 'container' *experimental*
Synth: Avisynth: old SpotRemover script by Didée (http://forum.doom9.net/showthread.php?p=1402690#post1402690)
Synth: VsAutoWhite script

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