NotEnoughAV1Encodes-Qt VS FastFlix

I like using NotEnoughAV1Encodes. There's also Av1an, and ab-av1.

I wish AV1 had more compatibility. Just playing around with NotEnoughAV1Encodes took a dumb 10-second clip with almost no movement from 24MB from my DSLR to 1.1MB after the AV1 encode. It's a bad example for a video, but I was just randomly trying AV1 with things and was impressed with the ratio.

If I'm not in a hurry for something to process then I set it to run on that. For instance, when I was looking at the AV1 codec I had it grinding NotEnoughAV1Encodes for days at a time.

If you want to mess with AV1, then there's AV1an that has a feature to target a VMAF. ab-av1 has their 'crf-search.' Although, most of the time I just use NotEnoughAV1Encodes with settings I like. Although, granted AV1 has less compatibility and it takes forever.

For some things, I've been going even slower using AV1 with NotEnoughAV1Encodes. Although, there's less compatibility for AV1, so keep that in mind.

NotEnoughAV1Encodes is great for AV1, I'm not savvy enough to get AV1 to grind all my CPU cores without it.

Do you do any videos? I've been playing with the AV1 codec using 'NotEnoughAV1Encodes'

Do you mess around with video at all? I just found out about the AV1 codec. Been using NotEnoughAV1Encodes to use all my computer cores to compress video. Then comparing the quality difference with ffmpeg-quality-metrics using VMAF. 33-second test video with my phone went down from 23MB to 1.6MB with nearly no quality difference. It takes forever to encode though. May not be compatible with all devices/browsers/etc. Then there's ab-av1 to help find the best settings.

this program is pretty boss, https://github.com/Alkl58/NotEnoughAV1Encodes-Qt

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).
