Henc video copy 1-1 (pass through)

[Nexin]

Encode with no process (copy pass through as is 1-1).

Is this possible with henc have project that needs this. Appreciate not the way we normaly use henc. Sometimes though i have tasks that i need to henc this way.

Have anyone a settings hc.ini that they like to share or make that does this.

HCEnc is a MPEG-2 encoder. MPEG-2 is not lossless. If you need an intermediate, lossless format use hufyuv, Lagarith, etc.

MPEG-2 is not lossless i know this but still need as near lossless pass through if exists. Consider one project could be to reduce bitrate to actual video bitrate +1000

Video bitrate set at 14000 kb/s actual bitrate is 4000 kb/s could use the above when known to change video to have 5000 kb/s. Much as dvd patcher able to do, though for when that has problems. Actual have a few projects one i just mentioned is very simple the others aren't so simple.

I don't really understand what you are trying to achieve and why.

I would call this as increase bitrate...

Video bitrate set at 14000 kb/s actual bitrate is 4000 kb/s could use the above when known to change video to have 5000 kb/s. Much as dvd patcher able to do, though for when that has problems.
Well, I understand this.
You have a source material encoded @ 14000 kpbs (14 Mbps) and your first encoding was at 4000 kbps (4 Mbps). Is this right? And now you want to re-encode your source @ 5000 kbps, isn't it? Your encoder now can extrapolate informations to re-encode your first 4Mbps clip into a new 5Mbps clip but I strongly recommend this against. Instead do a shiny new encode using your source material (it's 14 Mbps, so I assume it's encoded with quite high quality).

Actual have a few projects one i just mentioned is very simple the others aren't so simple.
Maybe the project is simple but, believe, understand it is not so simple :)

A more simplified example:

Bitrate:
Source 14000 kbps
Output 5000 kbps

Reduce the bitrate alone, with all other hcenc settings are set to make no other change to the video.

[AMED]

HCenc will have to make changes to all of the video for it to be able to encode it as 5000kbps.

Never mind i forgot about restream and easily changed to correct bitrate without encoding. Also noticed some other tools that can easily do this. I think is possible with hcenc but no one has realized that yet except the hcenc developer.

I think hcenc has lots of possibilities that very few have written about. That many more (me included) know about.

Restream cannot actually change the bitrate without re-encoding. It might have changed the header info, but it did not actually change the bitrate of your video.
