FastFlix VS NVEnc

Oh, I've used QSVEnc by Rigaya for fastflix. That's good that Rigaya had done that then.

Yeah I’ll for sure check out fastflix I think they have Nvidia AV1 although you need to add this to the settings so it can be used. Though I don’t know enough about the dual Nvenc encoders unfortunately. Though it’s worth a try to use.

I've been ripping my 4K movies again (to transcode them again using FastFlix, which I heard actually supports 10-bit HDR, unlike HandBrake), and I've noticed MakeMKV failed to rip a few of my 4K discs at some point, even though I had tried to clean the bottom of the disc several times. "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Back to the Future Part 3", and "Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director's Edition" started to rip but then failed. With Back to the Future 3, I remember MakeMKV saying it was a hash check failure or something similar (it was enough to make MakeMKV stop ripping it and fail).

If you have something reproducible and know it's an issues with FastFlix would love an issue on github https://github.com/cdgriffith/FastFlix/issues !

For GUI (shameless self plug) FastFlix wraps around it to make life easier https://github.com/cdgriffith/FastFlix

Well i have to recommend FastFlix as I literally coded it lol. It wraps around ffmpeg as well as Rigaya's hardware encoders (have to download and link them in settings panel).

hi, is there any GPU benchmark to compare GPU power in AV1 format encoding trough NVEncC? https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc

You need to download NVEnc and extract it from the 7z file to a directory that you want to keep it at. (I use 7zip personally)

Rigaya’s NVENC project was just updated with support for AV1. I’m pretty sure the AV1 implementation is still beta, but worth a shot. https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc

However, if you just want to test nvenc's AV1, you can use rigaya's NVEncC. He also has a QSV encoder for Intel, and one for AMD, although I've never tried the AMD one.

On my side I did some research and found another solution that was much faster and it cut the encode time by half! Is called NVEnc and it can be found here: https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/releases same file taking 15 to 12 minutes with all other solutions was encoded in only 6 minutes while my laptop temp never went above 55 degrees! Only thing is that this encoder dose not have GUI and you need to use command line for it to work. A kind reddit user (smushkan) helped me with the command line and I got it up and running in no time. Has anyone else here tried it? @Signum: Premiere may hate some H264 files but not the lowrez low bit-rate proxy files we are talking about and they run very smooth in premiere.

This is correct to an extent, NVENC's default settings are designed for speed over quality/file size because most people will be streaming or recording gameplay in real-time. There are still ways however to tune the settings for higher quality and smaller files, although I'm not sure if Handbrake supports those fancy parameters. I've been using NVEnc/NVEncC, and it's been working like a breeze.
