Re: HB Changes DolbyVision Profile and Duplicates SMPTE info

It would be a good thing to report that issue to the Dune device maker so they can fix their software. To be honest, I'm just glad to have found a resolution that allows me to save space using Handbrake and still properly see Dolby Vision content. If I understand you correctly, you're saying the du...

Re: Some DV files not correctly flagging DV on playback

FWIW - My Dune media players exhibited the exact same issue - not recognizing Dolby Vision content when there were duplicate SMPTE tags. A simple and quick fix is to run the HB output through MakeMKV - all it's doing is copying the content but it seems to build new header metadata without the duplic...

Re: HB Changes DolbyVision Profile and Duplicates SMPTE info

Right, but you were talking about the "duplicated" HDR10 mastering metadata, not the Dolby Vision data. True, however, I was just noting differences between files that played correctly as Dolby Vision on my players and the files with duplicate SMPTE info that are not recognized as Dolby V...

It is, open the mkvtoolnix gui, select the "header editor" tab, and check the Video track "Color information" and "Color mastering meta information". I have downloaded the latest MKVToolNix version (v83.0) Open the file in Header editor --> Video Track 1 (only one pres...

Re: HB Changes DolbyVision Profile and Duplicates SMPTE info

Thanks for your reply!

Unfortunately, it seems mkvtoolnix does not display nor allow editing of the HDR tag.

I've spent a couple of hours searching and not finding any way of editing the HDR information.

Re: Some DV files not correctly flagging DV on playback

I'm having a similar problem - I wasn't sure if it was related to the Dolby Vision profile conversion in Handbrake (from 7.6 to 8.1) or the duplicate SMPTE data... I found that the profile conversion is expected but upon reading your issue, suspect it might be the duplicate HDR info. Here is what my...

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: 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 ...
