Pls add the option in next release.

Is diesel faster than gas? One encoder can be faster than another - same goes for a decoder - video coding standards, on the other hand, are just specifications, and have no speed.SkOrPn wrote:Hmm, VP9 is supposedly 7% faster than H.265, or so I read somewhere.
They probably have a [Censored] of them though.SkOrPn wrote:YouTube is actively converting most of their HD to it as we speak, starting with 4k videos, then 1080p, and then 720p, and then finally SD content.

Surprised they would bother to convert video if it takes them weeks or months to do a single video.
Better standards are one thing… better encoders are another. We'll probably have to wait quite a while longer for HEVC and VP9 encoders to mature enough to beat x264 consistently.SkOrPn wrote:I'm just interested in the hard drive space savings myself. Would love to have BD movies down to 5-6gb and DVD's around 2gb with no less PQ loss. I hope I see that day very soon...
I'll go out on a limb and guess they're using servers with Xeons, rather than some crap i7 workstation (no ECC, lol).SkOrPn wrote:Hmm, VP9 is supposedly 7% faster than H.265, or so I read somewhere.

Lets talk specific encoders. I've tested both x265 and libvpx. x265 on a 6 core sandy bridge was getting about 5 frames per second. libvpx was getting about 1 frame per minute. A couple orders of magnitude difference in speed with x265 being faster.SkOrPn wrote:Hmm, VP9 is supposedly 7% faster than H.265, or so I read somewhere.

Not to mention Netflix is actively converting their content to HEVC which is supposedly slower than VP9. However, I have no clue if this is true or not, as Its just what I read from info that was gathered at CES.
Why not leave Theora as an option?K@mpfH@mster wrote:Hi, could you remove Theora in nightlys.
The codec is there for anyone to download and use (for free ($)).K@mpfH@mster wrote:it is an outdated and nearly unsupported video codec. VP8 is much better for web
Well they claimed that for VP8 in comparison with H264 already. Which obviously didn't end up right... H264 - as implemented in x264 - is way faster and is way more efficient than VP8 in any implemented form.SkOrPn wrote:Hmm, VP9 is supposedly 7% faster than H.265, or so I read somewhere.
We had a quick discussion on IRC about this. We will be leaving it in for the next release. But it will most likely be removed for the release after that. So nothing to worry about for at least another yearnexradix wrote:Please consider leaving Theora in. I use it exclusively with Handbrake, as it is supported out-of-the-box on any mainstream GNU/Linux distro.
VP8 is great, and hopefully will overtake Theora as the default video codec in most distros. But until it does, I'll be using Theora.
Handbrake is currently one of the few apps that will *properly* and consistently produce Theora/Vorbis in MKV without lip-sync or other issues. Please don't kill off that ability just yet.
But MPEG4 and MPEG2 that is quite old and obsolete will be kept forever. Can you understand this? I do not (but I have theories I do not want to share).JohnAStebbins wrote:So nothing to worry about for at least another year.
Pretty simple really. Both encoders are really fast, and used by developers for testing purposes because of that (i.e. when wanting to test something where the video track is not relevant). Same can't be said for Theora, by a large margin.VP9 wrote:But MPEG4 and MPEG2 that is quite old and obsolete will be kept forever.

Activity log?rrunner64 wrote:Using HandBrake svn6388 with graphical user interface (64bit Ubuntu) the encoder uses only a single thread for VP8. Is this intended behaviour? I think multiple threads would increase the speed of encoding very much.
ah... lol well count me in with the ones that don't really care about itRodeo: Nope, a bug. Should be fixed: https://trac.handbrake.fr/changeset/6389
JohnAStebbins:It was not intended. Just a bug nobody ever noticed because VP8 support is new in HandBrake and nobody really cares about it![]()
