Hello! Does anyone know whether nvidia Pascal supports NVENC with B Frames? Wikipedia does not help on that matter... Thanks!


Nobody know until nvidia release the next nvenc SDK.
But I can tell you.....the following features might/will be added for Pascal:

1) Frame look-ahead
2) Adaptive B-Frames
3) Temporal Adaptive Quantization
4) Adaptive GOP

Hi Stax,

It looks like either we have an elephant in the room (serious bug) or I'm doing something completely wrong - which I doubt.. Scenario:
1) As an input select ANY video file and choose Vapoursynth ffms2 or LWLibawSource.
2) In the codec selection choose "ffmpeg - VP9", for example. We are talking ONLY about ffmpeg section with its codecs (all of them do not work in the same manner).
3) Leave the codec settings at default and start the encoding.
4) There's an immediate error popping up:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error Encoding VP9 using ffmpeg 2016-04-25 x64

Encoding VP9 using ffmpeg 2016-04-25 x64 failed with exit code: 1 (0x1)

It looks like x265 hangs at beginning of 2nd pass. It's hard to tell why.

It could be that the stat files are corrupted. You can view your "D:\Downloads\The Dead Pool 1988_temp\The Dead Pool 1988_new.stats" file and check if it looks OK (especially at the end).

It could be related to stat file size -- you can try to cut source to about 500 frames and see if it hangs after new 1st pass of short encoding.

It could be related to mingw/msvcrt error(s) -- you can try to encode with x265 compiled by VS 2015 (for example).

Thanks for the log file and sorry about not replying to your mail, I saw the log, googled a bit for 'av_interleaved_write_frame(): Broken pipe'

and after nothing interesting was found I gave up. Whenever something happens I cannot solve or expect not being able to solve easily, I usually wait if more people report the same issue.

[Leo 69]

Stax, can you address my issue, please?

[Magik Mark]

Stax, how do I apply avisynth filter to a video? But there will be no transcoding. Same video format and same audio format.

Hello Frank.

I downloaded latest StaxRip test v1.3.7.7 and just a heads up for new versions of Rigaya's CLI HW encoders missing from your release.

He has updated all of them for Intel, Nvidia, AMD but I think for AMD he has added more features than the others, in order to be on par with them.

[stax76]

@Leo 69

It's because ffmpeg don't support vpy, you can make a feature request on the github tracker to add support using vspipe

@Magik Mark

I don't understand the question.

@Nikos

I'll update them, thanks.

[Magik Mark]

Stax is there a way to port smdegrain found in vaporsynth to avisynth+? Thanks

[luigizaninoni]

What's wrong with current Smdegrain for avisynth ?

[Magik Mark]

The only smdegrain I could find in staxrip is in vaporsynth. I'm using avisynth in conjunction with other filters. Or am I missing something

SMdegrain is a script not a plugin. So it works both in 32 and 64 bits provided you have all the dependencies.

Download smdegrain.avsi from here http://avisynth.nl/index.php/SMDegrain and put it in your avisynth+ 64bit plugin folder

Make sure you have all the (64bit) required or optional dependencies

Update you Staxrip profiles with something like
SMDegrain = SMDegrain(tr=2,thSAD=250,contrasharp=true,refinemotion=true)

and you are good to go

Thank you for clarifying. Where can I get all 64bit dependencies?

[luigizaninoni]

the dependencies are listed in the page previously linked

you can download the 64-bit plugins here:

Thanks a lot!

May I ask what your example do:

SMDegrain = SMDegrain(tr=2,thSAD=250,contrasharp=true,refinemotion=true)

Do you have settings something like light. moderate and heavy?

[Magik Mark]

I'm getting access violation. What can we do about it?

First you have to find out which module causes it. I recommend troubleshooting this with AVSMeter64. From the command line run "avsmeter64 -avsinfo -log". If there are errors, post the created log file (avsinfo.log). If there are no errors, run the script ("avsmeter64 script.avs -log). If there are errors, post the created log file.

There are so many versions of smdegrain.avsi, you have to post these lines 199 and 568. I assume you didn't get any error with the "-avsinfo" switch? Also, you have to use the latest version of AVSMeter (2.2.9).

[Magik Mark]

Thanks you for all the help Groucho. I may have to give up on this. There are so many lines to look for

No, just two.

OK. Two more things:
- Post your script
- Run "avsmeter64 -avsinfo -log" and post the "avsinfo.log" file.

I tried to reproduce this and I got the same errors. It seems that RemoveGrainHD is the culprit. Try a different value for "Prefilter".

[Magik Mark]

I think this filter works with avisynth only. Not Avisynth+. RemovegrainHD is not being used by this filter. I think it uses Removegrain. The one included in rgtools

OK, you're the expert. ;)

[JohnLai]

PSA, for those who use NVencC or Nvidia H265, do not use the CU Min and Max switches. There is strange bug where 4x4 Intra PU sizes is not being used if those switches are specified with value.

EDIT: Confirmed with GTX 960 and 970 on two different pcs and different drivers......nvidia issue....-.-...hmmm.......<s>no idea how to report to nvidia</s>?
EDIT: Done reporting to nvidia.

[Vulpix]

@stax76 , are you planning to update the VCEencC ? There's v2 available @ rigaya's site

[dandyclubs]

The target drive has not enough free disk space.

how do space check disable?

Just before any release of StaxRip take a look at rigaya's blog.

He has already released QSVEncC v2.54 :)

[brumsky]

Hey Stax76,

Is there a way for staxrip to select the main feature only? Currently, I am getting commentary audio as well. I then manually remux the extra audio track out.

It would be awesome if staxrip could do that automagically.

Thanks!

[stax76]

@NikosD

I've updated it locally.

You can remove the audio source before processing via the context menu of the audio text box, there is a menu item called 'Clear' which removes the source, or you can use the 'No Audio' audio profile.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm looking to do this from CLI. I have a PS script that monitors a folder and compresses the files automatically. Currently it uses HB but since staxrip > HB, I'd like to convert it over to use staxrip.

HB has a few options, one called main-feature and a audio mask. Basically, it'll determine the correct audio(s) and only copy based on the mask I supply. I can specify DTS,AC3 et cetera.

Is this something you could implement?

I'd be more than happy to share the PS script as it works great for processing in bulk! It does a few other things as well. ;)

All in all I really don't want to go back to HB, staxrip is by far nicer! Please save me from going back to HB!! :scared:

[Magik Mark]

You are the best stax!

[Magik Mark]

Stax the latest test build still has x265 v1.9 build 217 right? There's v2.0 I think

[stax76]

@brumsky

I don't see a use case for many people and it's not easy to code because the current detection is already very complicated, the scripting API for C# and PowerShell was made for such special things, I can help with it.

@Magik Mark

I wait for somebody posting a multi lib build.

[Magik Mark]

Tried the new SMDegrain using this parameters as depicted in wiki for HD sources:

SMDegrain(tr=2,thSAD=180,prefilter=2,contrasharp=30,refinemotion=true,lsb=true,chroma=false,plane=0)

Got this Error:

[stax76]

Not all possible dependencies are included, I had googled 'AviSynth medianblur' but didn't find something helpful.

[Magik Mark]

In the smdegrain wiki all the required dependencies are indicated. Downloaded then at:

http://avisynth.nl/index.php/AviSynth%2B#AviSynth.2B_x64_plugins

I was able to successfully run it using avmeter. Im getting around 3 fps

[Leo 69]

@Mark

Did you manage to get this fixed with "medianblur"? I also get the same message when enabling the contrasharp function. I have no idea what to do.

[Mr Alpha]

I am in the process of transcoding my ripped DVD library from H.264 to H.265 using StaxRip and there is one thing I wonder if it would be possible to automate. The files have a variety of Color primaries, Transfer characteristics and Matrix coefficients set. Is it possible to have StaxRip automatically read this from the input stream and tell x265 to add it to the output stream?

[NikosD]

Hello Frank.

Latest QSVEncC v2.54 that you include in your latest 1.3.8.1 build has added an interesting option -avsw.

It can decode in SW video files using ffmpeg (so it's like every possible video file out there) instead of Avisynth or HW decoder.

Do you think you could add this option in the decoders section ?

[robl45]

Hi Guys, Incredible Newbie questions here so apologize in advance. I'd like to convert my bluray movies to 265. Is it best to do makemkv to make the mkv and then convert with staxrip? I'm trying that now as going straight into staxrip kept giving me errors. Then I have an I3 6100 processor and a GTX 950 card. Is it better to use Intel or Nvidia hardware encode? Last question and where I'm really stumped is I don't really understand the settings. Are there some basic settings to get a decent quality encode with a file size around 10GB or so? When I go to Intel or nvidia 265, I don't really understand what I'm looking at. Trying intel now and I changed it to best in the options. Should I be doing anything else?

Thanks

EDIT: another issue I am having is subtitles. I want hardcoded for non english parts so I checked hardcode the sub and got forced subs off of subscene, but it hardcoded the subs and put them below the actual movie while the soft subs are above. I want hard coded subs as many programs screw it up and I just want them to work for forced. I can't seem to find anyplace to adjust them higher, nor can I find a place to say just burn in the sub like dvdfab does.
