HandBrake

Oops - just realised that the options do show up when the job is active, but not when the job is queued.

Description of problem or question: Not sure if it has always been this way, but any advanced options I insert into the "Advanced Options" box under the "Video" tab do not show up when adding that job to the queue. There is a section heading in the queue GUI called "Advance...

StaxRip can handle HDR and 4k with 10bit. Never done it myself but I use StaxRip along with HB.

Checkout the StaxRip forum

WeightP is automatically added by the API(I guess?) under "Ext. Features" along with WeightB, tskip, ctu:64 and sao:all. Those are visible in the log. I have used "mbbrc" with StaxRip and it is available to use - does it make a lot of difference? QVBR is not yet available in Stax...

Also, when I encode in StaxRip using QSVEnc, mediainfo shows the video to be 10bit on the output file.

Yes - I get 10 bit in the activity log for QSV HEVC when I load a video in Handbrake.

Apologies but I don't quite know what is meant by a "feature check". Is that a command?

I do know that StaxRip QSV does use QSVEnc (built by rigaya).

EDIT: He uses ICQ 17, not 18 and says that file sizes are always smaller with QSV. Here is link to his post fyi:- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1879456#post1879456 (There are a couple of settings he uses that have no impact - "la-window-size" and "la-quality" - these o...

QSV is all about speed. If I want quality, x265 software is fast enough. I have been surprised with the quality of QSV HEVC 10bit on Ice Lake. As I said, there are still problem areas with darker, murky scenes where you have poor detail and edge definition in the source video, but most of the time ...

Good to know Icelake is supported in Handbrake. Btw are you able to use 10 bit HEVC in Staxrip with Icelake QSV? I've heard it doesn't work. Yes, all 10bit HEVC - works without any issues. Maybe there will be some improvements down the line with graphics driver changes and other optimizations. I do...

Just to clarify, the encode of Black Hawk Down in both QSV HEVC 10bit and x265 10bit were approx. the same bitrate.

I've been doing some testing using QSV HEVC 10bit on an Ice Lake i7-1065G7 laptop, and I would definitely say that video quality has improved from Kaby Lake (still have that laptop also). NB. This testing was done using StaxRip. For some reason I'm able to use more b-frames in their implementation o...

Thanks - at least there should be a performance upgrade if staying with CPU encoding, as the PC will have 4 cores and 8 threads compared to my previous PC which had 2 cores and 4 threads.

I have ordered a new laptop with an i7-1065G7 Intel CPU. Not yet received. Does anybody know if there are any improvements to QuickSync quality on Ice Lake? I still mainly use CPU encoding but some videos I encoded with QS HEVC were very good (using a Kaby Lake laptop), and am hoping this next versi...

Further info. The issue I had had nothing to do with display driver versions - it was my own fault. I had a new script (now modified) which would clean out the Windows driver file repository in order to reduce disk space. I doubt this will help any others but just in case I'll post the lines I had t...

Just FYI - I upgraded to latest graphics driver from Intel directly and everything is still OK.

Thanks - you were spot on.

I restored the previous Intel driver (non DCH) and everything is working now!

Sorry to bother you and thanks for your quick response!

Keep up the great work with HB - a great piece of software.

Thanks,

here's the log. I might try restoring from a recent system backup as a few strange things have happened in the last couple of days regarding display drivers and other issues.
