Hi, 

I found a probably small bug preventing encoding with SVT-AV1. The encoding finishes immediately after start leaving 1kb file and this log:

Cheers,
David

Hmm, help still shows:
source: SvtAv1EncApp.exe --help
That said, I can reproduce the issue.
Will look into it.

Thank you!

Also, I realized that new version of the codec was out (1.4). But I was unable to find compiled binaries and I personally can´t compile the code. Any idea where to pick binaries from the web?

Cheers,

David

BTW: Hybrid is incredibly capable, complex and useful software! I deeply respect your work!

I build them using:
https://github.com/m-ab-s/media-autobuild_suite

-> I can add a 1.4 build to the dev version I'll sending you in a few minutes.

Cu Selur

Send you a pm, let me know whether the dev version works.

Thanks you, that was really fast

I am now able to encode with SVT-AV1 but minor problems remain:

1) when encoding to AV1 and muxing in mp4, the process crashed immediately

2) encoding to AV1 and muxing to mkv, I got this error. I disabled "create qp file for chapters" and the encoding runs fine!

I also need a debug output.

Managed to recreate the issue, looking into it.

Send you a link to a new dev version, which should fix that issue.
