Regarding encoding times

Post by bergerado1 »

Q: What else will affect encoding times, when no "video filters" are applied, audio is set to "pass through", and all advanced options on "default"?
(Activity Log of current encode - still in progress at the time of writing - pls see below)?
Problem: I encounter extreme differences in durations when encoding the same source formats (MPEG2, as commonly found in DVD/*.VOB files). Again, with all video/audio options on their most basic or default settings on both cases, some DVDs only take ca. 3 hours to encode, while the current one is taking 8 - 9 hours.

The only notable difference was image cropping (eg. top 20, right 2, bottom 14, left 0 as applied in the current encode). But can this parameter create such huge differences? Or perhaps, do the cropping values have any effect on encoding duration, eg. when the result does not cleanly divide by 16, 8, etc?

Many thanks in advance for any insights! Regards,

Re: Regarding encoding times

Post by Deleted User 11865 »

Grain affects output bitrate, which increases the time spent in CABAC, which would make encoding slower (though perhaps not by that much). That's my only guess for now.

Your log is incomplete, please update it when encoding is done. Also, please provide a log for one of the "fast" encodes, so that we can compare and see if there's any obvious difference.

Re: Regarding encoding times

Post by bergerado1 »

Thanks Rodeo,
but what do you mean by "grain", I know no such setting in HB...?

Anyway, the complete log for this encode is now available (after 9 hrs), please see below under "Longer" encode...
And for comparison, a log of a faster encode follows under "Faster" encode.

(I've already noticed one difference in the top section (system specs), the longer encode log says "Screen: 1280x800", the faster one said "Screen: 800x600". Yet probably irrelevant for encoding, caused by Windows Vista changing the resolution upon closing the laptop lid - although I had closed it in both cases...)

"Longer" encode (ca. 9+ hrs):

On an unrelated note, you should upgrade to 0.9.9 since 0.9.8 is no longer supported.

Your longer encode is a longer movie, nearly 33% longer, which will make it take 33% longer to encode.
Your normal encode is using faster x264 settings, which greatly impact the encoding speed. Your normal encode is not the default advanced options, as you claimed.

If you use the same preset, you'll get about the same encoding speed, so the encoding time will be proportional to the length of the movie.

Re: Regarding encoding times

Post by bergerado1 »

Thanks for the hint, will update right away... (actually have set notifications to "monthly" ;-).

About the "advanced" encoding options tab - not knowing what these do I never touch it at all, yet had noticed it occasionally changed values without my input, which I'd then "Reset all to default" -- Now I'm beginning to realize these values will change automatically to reflect changes made on other tabs (most likely the "quality" slider), but won't reset once a new source is being scanned?
So I'll try to always reset this tab in the future... (as a feature request, I think it would make sense if ALL settings fell back to default when loading a new source)!

Also, sorry for not mentioning this earlier, but I happen to use the "quality" slider a lot, determining final video qual. & size, usually at about "18" to obtain the maximum of a standard DVD (then ca. 3 GB file size)...

Kind regards,

Sorry to insist, but what is 'grain' and where in HB do I control it? Thanks again...

It's a property of the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_grain

But as mduell pointed out, the speed difference is due to using different encoder options.

The quality slider will not change any x264 advanced settings.

It looks like your "longer" encode was using the defaults, whereas for the "normal" encode you used the Normal Preset.

Maintaining settings when loading different sources is a feature, not a bug. It's desired so users can load multiple sources in a session and have the same settings.

Re: Regarding encoding times

Post by bergerado1 »

Indeed, I hadn't considered that source quality would affect encoding speed - while it's quite obvious that no two DVDs have the same quality (though I would expect old/new sources to differ more than eg. two DVDs roughly the same age)...

Have now installed the latest version, and it seems it addresses some of these issues, especially with respect to the advanced tab - nice one! Apart from this though, the new interface - apparently following the 'Vidcoder' sister project - seems not as comfortable at first, especially the picture size fields don't respond very well (no scrolling - the first thing I usually change to obtain full height/ width of the source!).

Anyway, great to see things move on - thanks again for all your help!

Not sure what's the difference, always using the same preset (my own, called "Source max") - does "Normal" not use default settings for "advanced"...?

I see, guess that makes sense for many users - mind you, I didn't think it was a bug ;-)

You're actually doing yourself a disservice here: your source is anamorphic, but your encode is not (it's upscaled to the presentation size). You'll get faster encoding and smaller files if you leave anamorphic strict on.

Thanks, but then what could have make these values change if I didn't?
Selecting a preset in the side bar can apply advanced settings. The settings shown in your "normal" encode are the same as found on the 0.9.8 Normal preset.

Not sure what's the difference, always using the same preset (my own, called "Source max") - does "Normal" not use default settings for "advanced"...?
Correct, the Normal preset doesn't use the default (blank) advanced options; it uses some faster to encode and easier to decode options. You're not always using the same settings, as your logs demonstrate.

Re: Regarding encoding times

Yes - if I were interested in smaller files, which I'm not! I still believe in this simple equation: larger fie = more video data = more to see. I always strive to preserve the maximum a source can provide. If my (DVD) source has 4 GB, compressing it to less than 2 GB loses data, especially when the dimensions of key frames be reduced.
This may not be evident from the viewpoint of compression maths, but I feel it can be seen. Smaller HD videos, while looking correct, sharp etc, to me often lack depth and gamut of the original's colors, almost becoming semi translucent...

Where in a log file can I find which preset was used? Regarding my long/fast encodes, maybe I accidentally hit the Normal preset (eg. when clicking to close the preview or queue window)... which would explain the diffrent parameters I wasn't aware of.
To say another good thing on the new version - the preview dialog remembers chapter & duration selections. Very handy!

You can always trade smaller files for faster encoding or higher quality. The source frame is only 720x576 with an anamorphic aspect ratio applied to make it display as 1024x576. Upscaling the video from 718x542 (720x576 minus cropping) to 1024x544 isn't creating or preserving any more quality, it's just wasting space. You're better off with the original source frame size (minus cropping) and anamorphic on.

Changing the frame size has nothing to do with depth or gamut or translucency. I'm not sure if you're talking about lowpassing or what, but it's not relevant to my suggestion.

The name of the preset isn't logged, but in the job configuration you can see all the settings used and compare them easily.

You would be well right. However, the reason why I'm not using anamorphic is my TV (LG 1920x1080), that just won't display "soft" coded aspect ratios, it only recognizes "hard" stored dimensions. A standard DVD transcoded and stored at 720x576 will display squeezed instead of full width of 1024 (or thereabouts).
Sad, as every software player can do it, but as I want to watch my videos on TV, anamorphic encoding has no use for me.
Thanks also for the info on log files!
