    Version 12beta6

    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.

    Fixes / Changes

    • Upgraded from FFmpeg 5.0 to FFmpeg 5.1
    • Enabled FFmpeg log during initialization
    • 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
    • Added back MFX integration (Media SDK 2021 R1)
    • Added asm parameter to x264 and x265 encoders
    • Added "tune" option to nvenc encoders
    • Added more options to svtav1 encoder (Thanks to Kleinrotti)

  • I briefly tested Voukoder 12 b6. NVENC is still loading and working with 522.25 drivers installed. 👍

    QuickSync encoders are available, too. The b6 log has more information about attempts to load them.

    Even though it says the device is GTX 1080, I've confirmed that it's actually using Intel HD Graphics 530: Task Manager screenshot

    In the screenshot, the first section of activity was an encode with hevc_nvenc and the second was the same video encoded with hevc_qsv.

    (With h264_qsv & hevc_qsv, there's no option in Voukoder to set the lookahead value when using LA_ICQ rate control method, and the value is hardcoded to just 1 frame. "look_ahead" should probably have a field in the user config.)

    And last, but not least, the "tune" option for NVENC is now configurable in Voukoder 12b6! 🥳

    It's now possible to use the encoders in true lossless mode. I did a test and it works properly. Thank you very much for adding "tune" to the config.

    The lookahead parameter is actually a boolean parameter. So it can only be 0 or 1.

    Code
      -look_ahead        <boolean>    E..V....... Use VBR algorithm with look ahead (default false)
      -look_ahead_depth  <int>        E..V....... Depth of look ahead in number frames (from 0 to 100) (default 0)
      -look_ahead_downsampling <int>        E..V....... Downscaling factor for the frames saved for the lookahead analysis (from 0 to 3) (default unknown)
         unknown         0            E..V.......
         auto            0            E..V.......
         off             1            E..V.......
         2x              2            E..V.......
         4x              3            E..V.......

    After sorting out the last NVIDIA AV1 issues this will hopefully be the last beta version before releasing the final version 12.

  • I hope you hear back from Vegas on this matter very soon, So this can be implemented....

    Oh, by the way Vouk, the rendering time has improved using "version 12 beta 7". Tested it thoroughly, and it actually completes my renders one minute less than the previous 11.3.2 version.

    Thanks again for your hard work!
