Best settings for h265 nvenc small files

Post by kata40 »

I have a 1080 Ti video card and I would like to use it at the expense of the processor
But I can not find the best settings for good video quality, but make the file as small as possible
That's what I'm looking for: good quality, a small file like h265 or h265 10 bits using the processor.
Can someone help me?

If Quality and Fileszie are important, use x265. NVEnc is not optimised for this. It's geared towards the speed part of the triangle.

I out of 8gb, for example, although the x265 would bring them to a better and lower quality, they use 2500kb plus other settings.
Maybe it can be done with smaller ones, from 8gb, to about 2gb, but I did not manage to do it.
Is the quality index the most important at nvenc, say, at a 27 QS?
Optimize, maybe in the future?

The hardware can't be altered, so not for current generation cards. Any updates requires new hardware.

I'm sorry to say that, but dvdfab, [Removed Dubious Product Reference] or other conversion programs do, with nvenc or cuda, you can give size and double passes?

Nope. No other software gets around Nvidia hardware limitations. If you use equivalent settings to dvdfab, [Removed Dubious Product Reference], you'll get the same poor quality output.

Nvidia provide the encoder implementation, so it is the same for all software that uses it.

Basically, if you use the slow preset, and a reasonably high bit-rate isn't good enough, then you really have to go software at that point.

I still write once: I used the same settings as dvdfab or [Removed Dubious Product Reference] and the result was much weaker than the ones mentioned, although you said nvidia uses the same all over, and that I could not select 2 passes

Then clearly you didn't use the same settings ...

We have no basis to believe you, without logs for the encodes. The majority of complaints posted on this forum involve some subtle changes in settings, which the poster does not remember making, and sometimes vehemently denies making.

Which is why we ask for logs.

I have put side by side handbrake and dvdfab and set the same
I do not know where to log you, as I would
Do not misunderstand, your software is one of the best, if not the best, that I love
But on the new side it's new and it has some steps to grow qualitatively

one more question and please answer me: how do I enable with h265nvenc to 2 passes?

Handbrake produces logs. The posting template your overwrote when you posted your first message explained how to get them, and the top of this page has a link to how to get them, posted in red lettering on a pink background.

Without logs, we have no idea what settings you used in handbrake, or how to improve them.

As for "two passes", I'm under the impression that is something the software encoders do, and the hardware encoders do NOT do. By design, the hardware encoders are single-pass, do the obvious compression methods as quickly as possible, then move on. Two-pass is not compatible with their design.

hello, thanks for the answer, was something about the new nvidia driver that did not activate nvenc and then did not see 2 passes
I'll study and give you log files to improve this new version of you, a great software

@kata40 -> We've removed the 2-pass checkbox because it was mis-leading. The 1st pass wasn't actually doing anything. It was all wasted CPU cycles.

NVEnc doesn't actually support 2-pass encoding.

They have something called VBR 2pass. This isn't actually what you'd expect it to be though. It's more of a frame level analysis that attempts to prevent bitrate spikes. What actually ends up happening is you get virtually the same, or worse results. So the general consensus seems to be not to use this mode.

I don't really think there is much point offering it as a UI option. People expect 2 actuall passes to occur and this won't happen.

Re: Best settings for h265 nvenc small files

Post by s55 »

Your expecting an awful lot if your only encoding at 1000kbit.
Also, Level 3.1 isn't valid for 1080p. File will be 4.0 or higher unless you drop to 720p.

Even with x265 which produces much better results at those low bitrates, the quality isn't amazing.

You can't have it both ways with Nvenc. It's optimised for speed, not quality or filesize. So if you choose a low bitrate to get a low filesize, you sacrifice quality

Your also using the Medium Preset. You might get marginally better results from Slow or High Quality presets.

Issue around your erroneous h.264 level settings is now fixed. So it should fail the encode if you use less than level 4 on a 1080p encode.

I do not use h264, even if it is better optimized it's old and it will get rid of it

# Encode Completed ...
it seems very bad
with dvdfab 2 passes coming out much better
what are these presets, medium, low, high?
refers to quality?
and at constant quality, if I set 24 what is it?

Then your not using equivalent settings. Since DVDFab doesn't expose the underlying settings, there is no way to know what they are using.

what are these presets, medium, low, high?
These are nvidia nvenc presets. They enable / disable underlying features that improve quality / filesize with the slower settings.
and at constant quality, if I set 24 what is it?
It's trying to target a set quality throughout the file. The scale is not quite the same as x264 but works in a similar way. Start in the mid point, and move to lower numbers until you hit the quality target you desire. Filesize will vary with each encode but should be more optional than setting constant bitrate.

Also, if you update to the latest nightly, the default rate control methods have changed. for bitrate, it's now using the higher quality cbr modes by default which should include the fake 2pass mode that it does. For quality, it's now using constqp rather than vbr.

And finally, You have a 7980XE, why in the heck would you use NVNEC when x265 is significantly better?

the video processor does not wear as big as a computer processor, or at least so I think
