HandBrake

yes, next build is in active preparation

yes, MVP/Virtu solutions are interesting but we can provide quite limited support for it

are you using some sort of remote access to the PC?
can you share the sample?

correct about driver or HW set up , try to re-install driver

thanks for the details . looks to be some installation issue with 3165 on 8

ah, mediainfo details from the input file, not the output -> this should help

good,

do you have a log for 3165 driver?

first log shows that you are using driver below recommended 3071
where the second log: no proper,3071+ driver installed

can you check on this?

berdo, it would be great to see your logs,

can you share your sample or just mediainfo details ?

please try 3071 driver or share your sample, if you can.

if we would like to go in more details, we can start to use Intel® Media Software Development Kit Tracer, this application allows to do a snapshot of application and MediaSDK activity. Practically, it created a log file with many useful details written inside. This will help to see difference(s) in ...

please note recommended driver: 3071

I hope that Christmas is around the corner.

SkyDrive should be fine, yes

it looks that you are using different samples: leona lewis - better in time(2).avi and patrick swayze - she´s like the wind.mpg am I correct in saying that Baseline Profile doesnt work for both? (not only second one) SandyBridge, because of its age on the market - uses workaround for audio-video syn...

thanks for the update! JFYI currently, if your input if not h.264 encoded, QSV will be used for encode only, therefore not full QSV performance can be shown, you can such details inside Encode log. Support for more inputs is considered for next updates of HandBrake. in order to decrease filesize you...

crop issue should be fixed already in the next release

if you can share your sample - we can check it in advance.

rest of the questions - more generic,
I hope answers above are addressing it already

SpareBot, I would recommend to re-check your installed driver,
(did you restart your computer ?)

you log still shows previous version used: it should be at least 1.6 , if a proper driver installed.

SpareBot, please consider to use recommended driver , Release Notes

which player do you use?

it looks to be container/demux issue first of all, therefore many messages like: [h264_qsv @ 0000000004B100A0] non-existing SPS 0 referenced in buffering period [h264_qsv @ 0000000004B100A0] non-existing PPS referenced h264-decoder done: 761 frames, 1248 decoder errors, 0 drops where original clips ...

good that .mkv helps,

if you will update driver to recommended 3071 - it should be fine for mp4 as well

will see about fix for lower than recommended driver.
It is noticed already, thanks!

thank you for the report, about: >The outputted video is not fluid, it has a slight stutter in it. >It's easily noticed when playing (vlc) the h264 out file side-by-side with the qsv_h264 file. it looks to be quite hard to see this issue so explicitly, as original clip is good but not much fluid as ...

thanks for trying out and feedback provided! Currently, implementation in HandBrake uses VBR as default method, CQP method used if quality option of HandBrake is used, CBR will be used if bitrate and vbv-maxrate are the same (you can always see the full logic behind like from http://repo.or.cz/w/Han...

if there will be a ready patch over the existing sources , what exactly should be considered to have it officially accepted? HandBrake does not write encoders, it includes them. HandBrake already has an H.264 encoder, x264. There is no need for another one. HandBrake will get GPU or Quick Sync Vide...

just to do not have the point lost - QSV can be used via free SDK , Intel MediaSDK, available from http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/media/

if there will be a ready patch over the existing sources , what exactly should be considered to have it officially accepted?

arent there a new MSU report with QSV and latest x264 compared? Obviously, there is always the own understanding of the quality and speed over again "the own" material, How about to measure such things on the own? I would be happy to help and participate here! I think it is nice to say tha...
