x265_10bit ignores encoder-level setting

Post by jasonsansone »

I wish to encode HEVC at 10bit, Main 10@5.1@High. I can achieve 10bit HEVC at Main10, but Handbrake ignores the --encoder-level "5.1" and I have no idea how to set to High tier instead of Main. I am using Windows 10 1903 with HandbrakeCLI 1.2.2. Log below.


How can I force 10bit h265 Main10 level 5.1 at High tier?

Command line use:

handbrakecli --format "av_mkv" --no-markers --previews 25:0 --encoder "x265_10bit" --width "3840" --maxHeight "2160" --auto-anamorphic --modulus "2" --no-hqdn3d --no-nlmeans --no-deblock --encoder-preset "medium" --encoder-profile "main10" --encoder-level "5.1" --quality "18" --rate "30" --pfr --start-at "duration:1800" --stop-at "duration:60" --first-audio --audio-lang-list eng --aencoder=copy -i "P:\To Sort\To Encode\4K Movie Monitor Folder - Local\test.mkv" -o "P:\To Sort\To Encode\4K Movie Monitor Folder - Local\test.mkv" 2> "P:\To Sort\To Encode\4K Movie Monitor Folder - Local\log.txt"

Re: x265_10bit ignores encoder-level setting

Post by s55 »

encoder level is not available for x265 in 1.2.2.
Even if you use a nightly and set a level, it's a limiter, not a set feature. So you may still get below this depending on the encoded content. This isn't an issue.


Also, there is no main10@high profile

for x265, these are your available profile choices:

8bit profiles:
main and mainstillpicture

and for 10bit:
main10 and main10-intra

Re: x265_10bit ignores encoder-level setting

Main 10 profile has a main tier and a high tier for levels at and above 4.0. At Level 5, the Main tier has a bitrate limit of 25Mbps while High tier is 100. For L5.1 those numbers increase to 40 and 160 respectively. All UHD discs are Main10@L5.1@High to enable a maximum bitrate of 160Mbps.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Effi ... and_levels

If I understand correctly, the ability to force a level is not available in x265, like it is in x264, but will be selected based upon the bitrate requirement. However, how can the software possibly know the greatest peak bitrate inside of a stream before the entire stream has been read and transcoded? By defaulting Main 10 at Level 5 at Main tier, the highest possible peak bitrate Is 25mbps which could easily be exceeded by a UHD video stream.

If you set your VBV settings correctly, x265 should select an appropriate level and tier for you.

@Rodeo, you are a sage genius. For anyone else curious, the solution is adding --encopts "vbv-maxrate=159000" (or whatever you want based on the above linked table). Thank you again!

160000 should work fine as well, no need for an offset or safety margin here, I don't think.

I hadn’t checked it at exactly 160000, my first test was with the safety margin. Haven’t yet tested at length.

Do you also need a vbv-bufsize for the vbv-maxrate to be effective?

Post by Deleted User 11865 »

x265 auto-sets a bufsize for you IIRC.

I didn’t use the bufsize parameter but was able to force my encode to Main10@5.1@High like I wanted.
