Was re-encoding some videos from my current phone and noticed that NVenc wasn't giving me much faster encoding speeds compared to x265. Was getting around 20-30 fps when i usually get more than 100fps at the same settings with other 4K videos.
I tried other 4K videos from my old phone and those ones encode pretty fast. They have a lower bit rate so i matched the bit rate on my "new" phone but the slow speeds persisted. Only thing i see that it's different is the color profile.
Both CPU and GPU video encoding graphs don't even reach 50% in task manager, with the videos from the "new" phone where they both reach 100% with videos from the old one.
Also noticed that i have to change the deinterlace method to off from decomb or the speed tanks even more (this affects both phones). The videos are progressive. Is it supposed to be like that?
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
Encode input video with NVenc h265, medium preset, 5000 ABR, no audio, peak frame rate, output resolution same as input
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.7.3
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Win 10 22H2 x64
HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)
Encode from a video from the old phone where i get 100+ FPS
