How is average fps calculated?

[bilaloslo2]

Please detail your question or problem in as much detail as possible:
I am wondring how the avg frames is calculated with the handbrakeCLI? Is it calculated for the last minute, second ? That would be really interesting to know.

Tell us about your environment. What version of HandBrake? What operating system are you running. etc.
I have the latest version:
root@user:/home/user# HandBrakeCLI -u
[15:56:37] hb_init: checking for updates
[15:56:37] Using http://handbrake.fr/appcast_unstable.xml
[15:56:38] Error: We did not get a 200 OK from the server.
[15:56:38] hb_init: starting libhb thread
HandBrake svn6039 (2014021801) - Linux x86_64 - http://handbrake.fr
Your version of HandBrake is up to date.


Please include the scan or encode log:
Encoding: task 1 of 1, 73.64 % (26.23 fps, avg 26.26 fps, ETA 00h08m56s)
Encoding: task 1 of 1, 73.65 % (26.23 fps, avg 26.26 fps, ETA 00h08m56s)

Code: Select all

 Paste a log of the scan or encode between these code brackets, or use a pastebin website and provide us with the URL it gives you. 
 Logs are required for all support requests.

But could you please answar my quesiton regarding how the avg fps is calculated? I cant find any information about it in the documentation. I really feedback.

[rollin_eng]

I haven't seen the code but you have a % done and a time taken, it also knows how many frames to expect therefor:

Total frames x % done/time taken

Maybe a dev can confirm.

[JohnAStebbins]

The average fps is over the entire encode. The fps number is more of an instantaneous number indicating fps over a small sample at the current encoding position.

Thanks! Is it possible to see the progress in run-time of the encoding in terms of calculated fps and remaining fps?

Wat

[bilaloslo2]

I am trying to figure out if it's possible to measure the progress of the encoding in how many frames that has been encoded ? Since I am running some experiments where I will try to set desired frames per for instance 5 minutes and dynacially allocate resources to make it reach that goal.

TL:DR; Is it possible to see the progress of the encoding in real-time, now I only see this:

Encoding: task 1 of 1, 73.64 % (26.23 fps, avg 26.26 fps, ETA 00h08m56s)

I want to see how many frames are encoded and if possible how many frames is remains?

The latest windows version shows an 'Elapsed' time as well, you could use to calculate frames processed, and you know the remaining time and so you could get a rough estimate of frames remaining, or look at the log for total frames then minus the frames processed.

If you want this displayed you could do a feature request and see what the devs say.
