NVEnc VS vmaf

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.

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.

https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/blob/master/NVEncC_Options.en.md Here is a list of all the commands that you can play around with.

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.

Netflix did VMAF for this: https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf

It checks a reference video against an encoded video and returns a score representing how close the encoded video appears to the original from a human perspective.

Not sure this is the right sub but I'm going to encode my entire BluRay collection in AV1 / NVEC. I'd like to optimize settings with VMAF but would like an ubuntu/debian based GUI to work with.

VMAF for anybody that doesn't know quantifies the quality difference between a source and modified video.

Netflix even has a method to measure perceivable quality difference. A little while ago I used this tool to calculate this.

Well you can use something like https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo to look at the files and https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf to see if there is no loss.

Vmaf exists

You can try some tests https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf

You can try VMAF as well (which ffmpeg supports). It's normally recommended to make a lossless copy first as a baseline too
