[Fixed][svn6169] HEVC : No chapter markers

Ayoross · Post by **Ayoross** » Sat Apr 26, 2014 11:45 am

Hi there,

I went back recently to handbrake nightly builds to try HEVC encoding, results are above all expectations. AVC file size is 2.66 GB, HEVC is 1.60 GB !
However, it seems that chapter markers are broken with HEVC, not AVC. I'm using MKV container.
Here is an encode log.

AVC file size is 2.66 GB, HEVC is 1.60 GB !

Your almost certainly not doing a good comparison. The HVEC encoder is pretty weak right now. Lots of missing features and optimisations, so as it stands, it's still better to use x264.

It's only enabled for testing purposes at the moment. Fun to play around with, but I'd expect if you used it as your main encoder, you'd be re-encoding everything in a years time when it starts getting really good.

Better for what ? Certainly not file size. Quality seems rather good too. Encode is slow, ok, but I don't care.
I hope VP9 will be added soon too.

Try doing a fair comparison. Most of the time, the gap is small, or in x264's favour. In terms of quality, the only place I've seen a real advantage is in the fades / regions that are typically quite blockly. The intro to big buck bunny is a good demonstration of this. Step through the first 2~3 seconds of frames.

If you don't care about speed, bare in mind you can get much better results out of x264 by using slower settings rather than faster x264 settings.

Basically, your using an experimental, incomplete h.265 encoder, so bare this in mind when using it. It's probably going to be another year before it starts maturing.

I hope VP9 will be added soon too.

Soon, no. Eventually yes. There are no usable open-source encoders right now for it. libvpx is too slow. (think several months for encodes on high end hardware) If they ever get it working at a reasonable speed or hardware catches up, it's mostly trivial for us to add. So just a case of watching, waiting and waiting some more. Given how slow improvements have come to VP8, I expect we'll be waiting a while

As for chapters, no idea. Will let someone else comment on that. Probably a bug or just not implemented yet.

Well, the few tests I've done are really impressive. I'm using q=21,5, AVC very slow presets (no gain in placebo) vs. HEVC slower preset. HEVC encode is always much smaller than AVC encode.
No quality issue seen so far, I'm still investigating. MPC-HC and VLC support hardware accelerated decoding (I have nvidia GPU). I'm still waiting for plex support.
HEVC is already a great and promising feature, even if it's experimental.

Thanks for reporting, should be fixed: https://trac.handbrake.fr/changeset/6176

Will land in a nightly when the build server works again.
