Re: Intel's P and E cores any good for encoding?
On Windows 11, if you do other things (ie open a browser window full screen) while Handbrake is encoding such that the Handbrake window is hidden, Windows thread director will move Handbrake to the E cores. This may leave the P cores doing nothing. Couple of easy fixes are: 1 - to set PC power setti...

Re: x265 low performance and suggested hardware
Software encoding with H265 at Slow, Slower or Very Slow will be SLOW. I use a 5950X (16 cores/32 threads) for Handbrake. I usually do 4K encodes at RF 19 and it uses > 90% CPU. Speed will vary with content, but I typically see < 2 fps on Slower and < 5 fps on Slow. I have never tried Very Slow. Mos...

Re: GPU Not Utilized Using NVENC
You mentioned system stability and overclocking - FWIW, Handbrake is my ultimate system stability test. I've overclocked multiple systems and successfully tested stability with extended P95, Aida64, Cinebench R20 & R23 runs only to have Handbrake fail during 4K runs of 24+ hours. Sometimes an ou...

Re: How long does it take you guys to compress this 5 minute video? (with the configuration of the images)
Ran this with parameters in your screenshots - 7.33 fps and output filesize of 75MB.
This was on AMD 5950X and ran at 33-35% CPU utilization.

Re: CPU Encode much larger than GPU Encode
A few days ago, I had run some encodes with thread count settings of 1) no parameter; 2) threads=8; 3) threads=12; and 4) threads=16. The encode times and processor utilization was essentially identical on all 4 runs (+/- 1%). These runs all involved the same 4K source, HB 1.5.1, H265 10-bit encodes...

Re: CPU Encode much larger than GPU Encode
Again, thanks for the explanations!! The RF28 encode completed - execution time was 9:19 (hours:mins) for 14972 MB output. Original RF18 encode took 17:40 with the 87463 MB output. For thread usage, my only concern was if too many might be detrimental - I think I had some H264 discussions regarding ...

Re: CPU Encode much larger than GPU Encode
FWIW - I played with the NVenc RF values increasing quality from 18 to 16, 14, 12, 10 and finally 4. I wondered if there was a setting that would pick up the grain that the CPU was encoding. There was virtually no change in output size - the original RF18 produced 30499 MB and the largest file with ...

I understand the RF scales are not comparable - I use RF 18 for my standard CPU setting because it provides quite acceptable results for me - SAVING PRIVATE RYAN is an extreme outlier which is why I brought it up.

CPU Encode much larger than GPU Encode
Description of problem or question: After getting a 3080 TI GPU in mid-2021, I have started experimenting with NVenc encodes versus straight CPU encodes for 4K content using H265. I have found the general expectation that NVenc encodes are much faster but also larger then the CPU encodes. Times are...

To be clear - you did a fresh Windows install AND a fresh install of Handbrake and recreated any presets you're using?? What memory speed - do you have XMP enabled?

Re: Handbrake crashing and I can't figure out why
Have you checked Event Viewer Application logs?? I have a PC built largely for encoding and it will pass many different stress tests without issue but a long Handbrake encode will fail.

Re: Faster Encodes with threads=32
Default threads for a 16c/32t chip would be 48 (1.5x), so constraining it here with medium-resolution content helps a little bit. I had seen a reference indicating that 'default', however, it was also stated that HB can't use more threads than the CPU has. I'm not sure I understand the 'constrainin...
