    Release Notes

    Make sure you are using the latest connector for your application(s). For using NVENC (SDK 12) encoders driver version 520.00 or later is required. This has not been released yet!

    Fixes / Changes

    • Upgraded from FFmpeg 5.0 to FFmpeg 5.1
    • Adapted SVT-AV1 to new parameter interface and added CRF to rate control options
    • Video side data: Adjusted MDCV luminance limits (Min: 0-5, Max: 5 - 10000)
    • Switched to NVENC SDK 12
    • Added NVIDIA AV1 encoder for RTX 40 series GPUs

    I just installed v12 beta 1 and the hevc_nvenc encoder I usually use is no longer available. All the hardware encoders, including QSV, have disappeared from the list.

    I see all NVENC encoders failing to initialize and the QSV encoders load, then unload.

    To confirm my system or drivers didn't somehow get messed up, I tested encoding with NVENC and QuickSync with OBS. Both hardware encoders worked properly.

    I also tested an encode using hevc_nvenc with FFMPEG itself through command line, which also worked.

    Integrated graphics drivers were updated from 100.9955 to 101.2111. No QSV encoders are available in Voukoder

    I don't know when it was last working. I haven't used QuickSync in Voukoder in a very long time, probably years.

    I went back to 11.3.2 and while hevc_nvenc works again, the QSV encoders aren't available either.

    Out of curiosity I went back to 10.0. This time QSV encoders throw an error.

    Like I said, I usually use hevc_nvenc, so I didn't notice QSV hasn't been available - possibly for a long time. I'm glad you've already solved QSV and I'll try V12 again after NVIDIA releases new drivers. Thanks for the help.

    Another question: is there a way to use hevc_nvenc in lossless mode with Voukoder? When I use FFMPEG in command line, I use -c:v hevc_nvenc -preset p4 -tune lossless but I don't see a way to set the tune option. The FFMPEG options string is at the bottom of the window, but can't be edited.

    A new NVIDIA driver was released today that I haven't installed, yet. But it's 517.48 and not 520 so probably won't make a difference here.

    Repeating the question from my previous post:

    Zitat von Slipduwee

    Another question: is there a way to use hevc_nvenc in lossless mode with Voukoder? When I use FFMPEG in command line, I use -c:v hevc_nvenc -preset p4 -tune lossless but I don't see a way to set the tune option. The FFMPEG options string is at the bottom of the window, but can't be edited.

    I explained how to do it on the Vegas forum here. Works the same way with Resolve 18 Studio. Win11 22h2 adds Specific Gpu to the Windows settings without reference to power saving.

    Btw, ffmpeg.exe v5 also works like that but only for decoding with Intel or Amd. Ffmpeg,exe ignores the Win setting for encoders which I detect from the command line like this:

    Code
    ffmpeg -encoders | findstr "qsv"

    Any chance for -svtav1-params 'tune' ,'film-grain-denoise', or the weird 'superres-mode'?

    Off topic

    Are you meant to use a Voukoder filter to get full color range? The option in premiere directly, the one under video, does nothing when set to (0-255)

    Game Ready Driver 522.25 has been released. I installed it and tried 12 beta 4. The NVENC encoders supported by my GPU are available and working.

    QuickSync encoder initialization errors:

    One final thing: My question about the hevc_nvenc option "tune" that enables lossless encoding has been deliberately ignored and I acknowledge that.
