SVT-AV1 2-pass encoding - davsed - 30.06.2023

Hi there,

I noticed that 2-pass encoding doesn´t wotk for SVT-AV1. The encoding stops immediately after starting the encoding.

I would be grateful if you could look into the problem

Cheers,

David


RE: SVT-AV1 2-pass encoding - Selur - 30.06.2023

2pass encoding works fine in my dev version and since according to git, I haven't changed the command line generator for SVT-AV1 since the 3rd of March, I'm not totally sure where the issue is.

What happens if you call:

in a windows command prompt

Ps.: I'll also send you a link to my current dev version via pm to see whether this also crashes for you. (comes with a newer svt-av1 binary)


RE: SVT-AV1 2-pass encoding - davsed - 30.06.2023

Thanks for a fast reply.

Using a cmd, I got a message overlays were not supported. So I disabled overlays and 2-pass worked fine.

The problem I can see now with 2-pass encode is that both passes run very fast. Very probably, settings for the second pass are ignored (speed preset and others)

I have downloaded your developer version and the problem is the same

Attached is a log...

Best,

David


RE: SVT-AV1 2-pass encoding - Selur - 30.06.2023

Okay, the error message is:
The overlay frames feature is currently not supported with multi-pass encoding
-> will adjust Hybrid to take this into consideration.

Quote:The problem I can see now with 2-pass encode is that both passes run very fast. Very probably, settings for the second pass are ignored (speed preset and others)
Can't reproduce. For me the second pass is way slower, assuming the preset a slower preset is used.
(tested with preset 3)
Will do some further testing.

RE: SVT-AV1 2-pass encoding - davsed - 30.06.2023

Strange. I am using speed preset 3 as well. 2nd pass is even faster than the first one. 

Switching to preset 1, the speed remains the same. Very fast. 

I am looking into settings if I discover anything...

Yes, it's still fast, but 2nd pass takes two times more time than 1st pass.

Funny thing is 'preset' does not really seem to impact the speed at all:

Ps.: but I can't find a fault in Hybrid regarding the speed,...


RE: SVT-AV1 2-pass encoding - davsed - 30.06.2023

I agree,

Preset is ignored but --tbr is respected, so file size changes. Strange, a bug in the encoder? I am using already version 1.6, but it has the same problem

RE: SVT-AV1 2-pass encoding - Selur - 30.06.2023

Yeah, seems like something is wrong with the encoder itself, but I'm usually not using svtav1, but the hardware encoder of my NVIDIA or Intel card. Smile
