3x Handbrake performance boost

[yellowshark]

Hello all,

I have been doing some encodings of my DV recordings with Handbrake 0.9.4.
I am on 2x QuadCore Xeon 2.66GHz / 8GB RAM / Windows 7 64bit.
I am cropping and resizing the image, using deinterlace (setting: slower) and denoising (setting: weak).
I was always getting around 20fps encoding speed. All 8 cores were used, but all only at about 30-40% utilization.
I was assuimng that this is because of the deinterlacing which, I heard, doesn't use multi-core so effectively.
So I have upgraded to the latest Snapshot release of Handbrake (svn3036) and was surpriced to see 3x performance boost with it!!!
Now all my cores are at 100% all the time and encoding speed is around 60fps!!!

Strange thing is, that after uninstalling Snapshot release and reinstalling 0.9.4 my performance didn't do down to what it used to be, but stayed on that high level. I wonder why. Perhaps x264 got upgraded and it wasn't downgraded with Snapshot release uninstall?

[mduell]

Did you switch from deinterlace to decomb?

[yellowshark]

No, no, no. All settings remained exactly the same. I have double-checked - Interlace is on Slower, Denoise is on Weak, just as it was before. All the other setting are the same as well. I am using the same custom preset I had. But I have also created a new one from sratch, just to see if that would make any difference but it was the same speed as my old preset.

I would really like to know what might have caused this speed increase. I also didn't touch my system between both Handbrake releases. I was actually encoding my videos and was wondering if there might be some developments in the area of batch encoding support. So I have stopped my encoding. Downloaded the latest snapshot release. Unfortunately nothing has changed as far as the batch encoding support, but I was very surpriced to see this enormous performance boost!

[mduell]

Are you copying the DV files to your hard drive now instead of having HB read them straight off the device? Was your hard drive very close to full or fragmented before?

x264 is baked into HandBrake, not installed seperately, so the version from the snapshot wouldn't "stick around."

[ascianti]

Activity log and someone might be able to tell you why your speed boost remained after you went back to 0.9.4

[yellowshark]

My DV files are on a hard drive. And as I said - nothing changed between HB 0.9.4 and the latest snapshot release. I literally stopped the encoding queue, downloaded the snapshot, installed it and went on to encoding again - and from that moment it was 3x faster. I didn't even reboot in between, let alone any defragmenting or other fancy stuff.

What I will do, I will bring back by system drive ghost image on the weekend from before any Handbrake, install clean 0.9.4 and check the encoding speed. I will also save the logs. Then I will install the snapshot release and do the tests again. I am really curious what the results will be. I will post it here of course. But I cannot do it before the weekend - no time for playing around so much during the week

Cheers!
YS

Activity logs are all saved on your computer. Can you post an old one and a recent one?

[yellowshark]

OK, so here is the log from the slow encoding before upgrading to snapshot release:

I have noticed, that after the upgrade AC3 passthrough was not selected. Also, it was a different file that I have encoded. However the speed increase was permanent and for all files after that upgrade. But just to be sure, just few minues ago I have encoded the same file as the one from before the upgrade and I have selected AC3 passtrough (although there isn't any AC3 in that video, but just to have the same conditions). Encoding is still fast. Here is the log:

x264 [info]: profile High, level 3.0

I don't see any significant differences in those logs.
Perhaps I should put verbosity level to 2, but it won't help too much as I won't be able to do that for the slow encoding. But anyway, I hope that after restoring system drive image and installing clean HB 0.9.4 encoding will be slow again so I can take a verbose log and perhaps check the encoding speed with and without deinterlacing. Then upgrade to the snapshot release and do the same. I just hope that I get my current speed back after those tests!!!

All your logs are incomplete.

Sorry for that!
I am just starting with HB and was not aware that these logs are not complete.
I have looked in the log folder for the one from HB 0.9.4 that is complete (ends with "Rip done. HandBrake has exited") and then have encoded the same file again with my current HB release (svn3036).

As you can see HB 0.9.4 encodes at average 22fps, and HB svn3036 at 56fps.

The CLI parameters are exactly the same in both cases, except that the second one outputs to a different HDD, but believe me - that's not affecting the encoding speed. I've checked.

That's really strange that HB was using only 30-40% of all of the 8-cores, and after going to svn3036 it is using 100% of all 8-cores. And also when I downgrade to 0.9.4.

Really strange: I'm encoding Harry Potter and the Chamber od Secrets (DVD PAL to MP4) with SVN3036 and is really really faster but the datas over the progress bar shows a 31/32 fps while was around 61/62 fps in HB 0.9.4 stable. I'll check the log at end.
