Can you provide a Voukoder Logfile where it crashes so I can reproduce it with your settings?

It worked for me with default settings on a new project.

Do you know if FFmpeg is able to create DCPs?

This feature is planned for the Voukoder successor on which I am currently working on.

Voukoder 11.3

Make sure you are using the latest connector for your application(s). For using NVENC (SDK 11.1.5) encoders driver version 471.41 or later is required.

Fixes / Changes

• Migrated to NVIDIA NVENC SDK version 11 - You might have to update any saved settings!
  • This drops support for older GPUs
  • You are required to use the presets p1-p7 now. See: https://docs.nvidia.com/video-technolo…igration-guide/
  • The NVENC options "CBR_HQ" and "VBR_HQ" got removed. Please use "CBR" and "VBR" instead.
  • The "2pass" option has been replaced with "multipass"
• Built everything from stable sources again -> 20220725
• Audio issues fixed

Mea culpa! Please try 11.3.

Mea culpa! Please try 11.3.

Already fixing it! Should be online in a couple of minutes.

Didn't know CRF is available for svt-av1. Adding it now ...

Edit: Need to migrate to FFmpeg 5.1 first.

Can you post a log file (with low leven debugging) enabled please?

Please try to upgrade to Voukoder 11.2

Does this help?

P.S.: This can also happen if you feed interlaced videos to RTX 20xx (or newer)

It works for me.

Are you sure you have the connector installed to:

It has to be Program Data, not Program Files!

I am working on that.

Strange, I was always building from master which should be most recent. But I have set it to 1.1.0 now.

Voukoders encoders are used from the FFmpeg project. So the FFmpeg documentation applies for Voukoder, too. i.e.

• https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html#ProRes
• https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VFX#Prores
• https://ottverse.com/ffmpeg-convert…es-422-4444-hq/

ProRes AW and KS are two different implementations. It is not the original Apple implementation:

• "prores_aw" by Anatoliy Wasserman
• "prores_ks" by Konstantin "Kostya" Shishkov

Do you have this set?

I will change this to be activated by default in the next version.

This version has a bug with external codecs. Please install the latest update of DVR.

See: "Unsupported Codec and Format"

What exact version of DVR are you using?

Both NVENC and x264 can produce lossless output. Or nearly lossless. It is just a question which one is creating the smaller file size.

Just play with the Constant Quantizer (NVENC) value and CFR (x264). The lesser each value the better the quality (and the larger the file size).

There is no big difference if you encode game videos for YouTube or short films with your DSLR (at least not from the encoding point of view). In fact there are no "best" settings, its depending on your use case. Also what does "best" mean? "best encoding speed", "best quality", smallest file size?

NVENC h264 can be very fast to encode, but that depends on your GPU and CPU. With the RTX generation the resulting quality should be on par with x264.

Only use bitrate based strategies when you aim for a specific file size (i.e. to fit a film on a DVD, USB stick, ...), Otherwise I'd recommend Constant Quantizer (NVENC) or CFR (x264).
