HandBrake

GTX1660 is based on a very old card design, first generation NVEnc IIRC, that's just not supported in HandBrake. 2070, on the other hand, should work (as far as I know), not sure what's going on. No, GTX1660 has the exact same Turing NVEnc hardware as the RTX2070 (Turing), they both use the 7th gen...

Yeah, like I mentioned in OP, H.265, H.264, and MPEG-4 all crash. MPEG-4 actually gets into pass 2 (the others crash immediately after 1st pass). So, I figure if I can’t even get the tried-and-true MPEG-4 going... Crashing the entire machine is almost ALWAYS hardware issues, the rest of your descri...

Hmm, I tried with my GTX1080 PC and got almost an identical filesize. The filesize the CPU encoder gives me is different (and in the case of the file I'm testing just because it's small, is actually larger). Fair point that the GTX960 is an old card, but the 1080 should support everything should it...

can I not nvenc encode H265 on a Kepler gpu? No, as the Nvidia encoder support matrix shows you need at least Maxwell 2nd gen for even the most basic h.265 encoding support (2 generations newer than Kepler) and even then it's not very useful. Pascal/Volta NVEnc adds more variants but is still not v...

Ok I'll give it a try. But in the past I'd never to disable anything special for full CPU usage. I'm just a little confused about what "Woodstock" wrote. ..."this configuration is not going to involves all available cores." Why not?? And how can I manage to "convince"^^ Handbrake to use every avail...

(I don't have Turing or Navi data yet. Note the 1660 doesn't have Turings new ASIC as far as I'm aware. It's still the older NVenc version. ) No, 1650 has the older Volta encoder, 1660 and up have the new much improved Turing encoder. For the Turing series Nvidia uses the exact same (and same amoun...

latest Nvidia driver 436.02 Been trying to use NVenc with 1080P-fast-profile, but when running like five minutes max, first the picture of my two monitors freezes, one goes to "no signal" and the computer resets and coldboots. 436.02 is known to be rather buggy and was quickly replaced 436.15 on th...

Seems to be very confusing if the RF settings aren't compareable to each other. Not only isn't RF scales comparable between different encoders (x264 vs x265 vs QSV), it's not always comparable between different settings on the same encoder! If you use the same encoder and don't change settings too ...

... and the encode causes PC to crash to a black screen. This is *always* either a hardware problem, OS problem, or driver problem. It is the responsibility of an OS to ensure that an application can not crash the system. So by definition, this can't be an application problem. Yep, it should also b...

Their answer is kind of hard to decode (to me) but my best guess is that they're saying that the file they got had 3 GOP but that their code incorrectly didn't pick up that x265/Handbrake is using "Open GOP" and as a result their code decides that it's really ONE large closed GOP, presumably it does...

Hello, I recently tested with which x264 Preset I will get the smallest Files. So I set RF to 20 and encoded the same input file with all different x264 Preset settings. So in the end I get the smallest file at x264 Preset settung "veryfast". This is strange so I changed the RF setting but it was a...

Looks like Certum offers very cheap code-signing certificates to Open Source developers. Probably second cheapest option is KSoftware which offers a Comodo code signing certificates much cheaper than Comodo. In both cases there is a yearly fee, not free. Doing the code signing in itself isn't that b...

Also an extra question regarding BIOS settings... Should I test all the different power configs, or is there a generally agreed upon best setting for CPU Power Management, ie: best with Turbo Boost and C-States and stuff, or better to set for Max performance (ie: 100% clock all the time). I'm not c...

We run 4 simultaneous encodings per submitted video, and sometimes users submit multiple videos simultaneuosly, so we may be running 4,8,12,16,20... HandBrakeCLI's at once. CentOS 6 was chosen simply because all of our other hundreds of servers are on it, and I feel 99% comfortable with it, whereas...

Hi all! I'm building a 'massive' transcoder box and I'm looking for help optimizing and improving transcode performance. This is for the media sharing website RushTera.com. Users upload large raw videos often times greater than 10GB in size. When sharing a video we run it through transcoding to pre...

Some good info: http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2016/01/h-dot-265-slash-hevc-vs-h-dot-264-slash-avc-50-percent-bit-rate-savings-verified No, it's complete nonsense! BBC R&D should be ashamed of posting that, but then the byline is by two of the report authors so there was no independent check. They're...

True. But (ever since Maxym added more return codes, IIRC), any known errors will result in a non-zero exit code. HandBrake can't report errors that went by undetected I'm afraid… I guess if one wanted to catch even more failures one way for full encodes might be to compare the run-time for input a...

Skylake is likely to support hardware based encoding and decoding of HEVC so the driver update will probably be released before/on the IDF August 2015 Yeah, I don't think they've officially confirmed it but most of the tech press thinks it will and based on timing it does seems fairly likely even i...

I don't know the name of CPU cooler I am using. I can't find the order on NewEgg or Amazon where I would have purchased it. I believe it is a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. Like this: http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212-plus/ That's a classic tower cooler that provide very g...

It's definitely worth trying underclocking. I see a number of people that have power issues with the FX-8350, several people thinks 6+2 phase power and bulky VRM cooling is absolute minimum for reliable function with FX-8350 and your motherboard looks like 4+1 phase and not much VRM cooling. Ah, I s...

I would normally agree with you that spontaneous shut-downs of computers are commonly caused by one or more hardware issues. However, in this case, the computer only exhibits this shutdown behavior with HandBrake. I have MakeMKV also on the same host and have allowed it to run for hours with no iss...

Various benchmarks suggests your new processor "should" be on the order of 10-15% slower than the old one, though I expect the massive difference in TDP (35W vs 15W) means the difference will be much larger in anything that runs for extended periods like video encoding, half the speed is by no means...

I'm not looking to restrict my hardware completely, just limit Handbrake's resource consumption. I'm not sure why this should be rejected; if x264 has this option then giving Handbrake control over it would be an improvement; do x265 and ffmpeg have similar options? Even if it only works for certai...

It should also be mentioned that X5365 is well, a dinosaur by now. It was launched in 2007. The 5160 (no X) you also mention is even older, it was part of the initial launch of Core2 processors in June 2006. The X5365 is a rare enough model that there's no single or dual benchmarks for it on cpubenc...
