According to this table by NVIDIA https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-a…port-matrix-new your GPU does not support NVENC and can't encode any videos (At least the MX 150 and MX 350 are listed there so I guess it applies to the MX 250 too). This matches the error message it can't find an nvEncodeAPI64.dll
So your only chance is to use a CPU based video encoder, or you can try Intel Quick Sync (QSV) if your laptop includes an Intel processor. Or AMF if it has an AMD processor.
It is supported in DaVinci Resolve Studio. I'll put it on my list to add this to Premiere Pro as well.
Depends on what the presets are aimed for. Best video quality? Smaller file size?
The file is smaller, so you could theoretically use a lower crf value and finally get a better image quality with the same file size.
If you install the FFmpeg GPL version you'll have also the x264 and x265 encoders available.
Edit: Just for comparison. This issue does not exist with Voukoder Pro. All 4 exports have a different file size and had a different export time as well as a different VMAF graph. All is good.
The .voukoderpro extension should be replaced on the export with the one from the muxer you have chosen (i.e. mp4, mov, mkv, ...). It's just VEGAS doesn't know the correct extension by the time when possibly no scene has been selected, or maybe 2 or more output files have been set.
You should be able to register a new trial license now.
No, just make sure you have "Voukoder Pro" selected.
Can you repeat your tests with Voukoder Pro? You can get a free Trial-License here.
What version number of Voukoder Pro did you test? What version of FFmpeg did you use?
It has been fixed in the Voukoder Pro 3 version.
Can you please test this if version 2.0.14 has the issue fixed?
Sure,will do.
This product requires the FFmpeg 7.1 dynamic link libraries to be installed and the installation directory to be added to the PATH environment variable. Installing a package from here performs all required steps. But you can install alternate versions, too. Just make sure these are 64 bit DLLs, the version is 7.1 and the installation directory has been added to the PATH environment variable.
If NVENC doesn't work please update to the latest GPU driver version.
You'd have to first select your h265 encoder, and then select the pixel format "yuv422p10le".
please try the low complexity (or LC) mode with the aac encoder.
No it does not have such limitations.
I have decided I'll publish the current changelog, so you can see what to expect in the next version. I'm constantly working on new features and my to-do list is still quite full, but the changelog shows what's currently finished. So everything might still change.
You'll find the changelog here: https://www.voukoder.org/changelog/
Ah, yes. Now I understand. Well, if you do it this way, audio is technically still exported and it's just muted.
Can you show me a screenshot on how you disconnected the the audio node from the muxer?
This really surprises me. NVENC is working, AMF is not working. This really seems to me like an issue with the AMD encoders (or with the FFmpeg implementation). Normally Limited Color Range doesn't cause an issue. It is actually the default setting.
Question: Can you reproduce this issue with the ffmpeg encoder on the command line?
First I disabled the audio track in Premiere, hoping that it would result in no audio output. Voukoder still encoded an audio track
When I tried to reproduce it and disabled it in Premiere 2025 like this:
I did indeed get no audio track:
