CRF like constant quality mode for NVEnc?
I'm testing NVEnc HEVC on Turing with Staxrip and I'm trying to figure out what the optimal constant quality settings should be. I heard that CQP mode should be avoided because it's primitive compared to CRF. VBR mode apparently should be used instead with qp-min and qp-max set because it does a much better job. Is that correct?
Here's my NVEnc settings: Code:
--vbr 0 --codec h265 --preset quality --profile main10 --output-depth 10 --qp-init 22 --qp-max 22 --qp-min 22 --vbr-quality 0 --aq --aq-temporal Last edited by agentusa; 16th July 2020 at 05:18. |

Where did you get this from?
The constant quality mode is set with --vbr 0 --vbr-quality xx with xx for example 22.0 Leave the --qp settings at their defaults. See the doc https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/blob..._Options.en.md Quote:

CRF ist not an absolute quality measure. Hence the same CRF value for different encoders does not mean the same quality.
There seems to be a consensus though that HW encoding is inferior to SW encodes. So your observation is probably about valid. |
