SVT-AV1 Crash at 8K - Nevril - 01.08.2025
I want to upscale a few videos I have to 8K resolution starting from 4K.
Input Height 1600 to 2160 -> Output 2X.
I have no issues encoding using x265, and I have no issues encoding with SVT-AV1 up to Speed Preset 5.
If I choose Speed Preset 4 or lower the encoding crashes.
I also tried with a 1080 source and had no issues bringing it to 3240 but then crashed again when trying 3600 or 4096.
Seems resolution related.
Side question: is there a way to see which version of SVT-AV1 encoder Hybrid is using? I'm assuming 3.0+, but just for curiosity.

Quote: is there a way to see which version of SVT-AV1 encoder Hybrid is using?No, it's not visivile inside Hybrid atm.
Hybrid\64bit>SvtAv1EncApp.exe --version
SVT-AV1 v3.1.0-rc1-3-gcc569c1 (release)I can reproduce the crash with speed < 5, I will look into it.

Svt[info]: -------------------------------------------
Svt[error]: Instance 1: 8k+ resolution support is limited to M5 and faster presets.
Svt[warn]: Instance 1: 8K and higher resolution support is currently a work-in-progress project, and is only available for demos, experimentation, and further development uses and should not be used for benchmarking until fully implemented.=> I'll add a check for it to Hybrid to warn the user, but atm. there is nothing I can do to really fix it, since it's not a bug in Hybrid.

Thanks!
I didn't know about the limitation. Interesting.
I guess I'll keep x265 for the time being.

Uploaded a new dev version which:
a. throws '8K and higher resolution support is a work-in-progress project in SVT-AV1 and currently not available.' when width*height > 21012480. (see: svt-av1 source code)
b. includes SVT-AV1 version info under "Config->Tools->Tool Versions"
