[Fixed] H.264 (Intel QSV) with Encoder preset Quality not working with 1080p in nightly

Post by Deleted User 39938 »

Please describe the problem in as much detail as possible:
Handbrake nightly doesn't encode 1080p material (720p works) if I try to use Video Codec H.264 (Intel QSV) with Encoder preset Quality. Handbrake 0.10.5 works and nightly also works if I set Encoder preset to Balanced or Speed.

What are the steps to reproduce this problem:
I tried it with the HD trailer of James Bond Skyfall from chip.de. Set Container to mkv, video codec to H.264 (Intel QSV) and Encoder Preset to Quality.

What version of HandBrake you are running:
HandBrake Nightly 20160926211306-f7ff05d-master (2016092701) - 64bit Version

What operating system and version and you running (e.g. OSX 10.11, Windows 7, Ubuntu 14):
Windows 7 64bit Version with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4600U, Graphic Driver Version 10.18.14.4432 (latest available from Dell)

Please include the scan or encode log:

Re: H.264 (Intel QSV) with Encoder preset Quality not working with 1080p in nightly

Post by Deleted User 11865 »

That's quite odd, as there's almost no changes between 0.10.5 and the nightly when it comes to QSV.

Does it work in the nightly if you select "disable QSV decoding" in Tools > Options?

With disabled QSV decoding it works.

OK, I'll investigate. It may not be worth fixing right away as the QSV decoding code will be partially rewritten very soon…

Hello Rodeo,

this problem still isn't fixed in the nightlies, right?
Because I also got this error in the latest nightly-builds.

I wonder if this issue is now correctly in the nightly that we've switched to the libav implementation?
