Trying to deinterlace with Bob NVEnc; job crashes

[antoniu200]

I have a GTX 980, so 10 bit doesn't work. 8 bit does at 170 FPS.

Okay, how does Bwdif fair for that clip?

Bwdif does fine. No signs of unwanted artifacts and the detail is as much as I'd like.
Problem is, if I remove the cropper, it drops to 96 FPS and the bitrate is extremely high (36 Mb/s, while the original had 8 Mb/s video). x264 keeps that bitrate at about 13 Mb/s. I also have to upload these videos to a Cloud, so final size does matter. 15 vs 13 is irelevant, but 36 vs 13 is.

The change in CRF (23->18) seems to affect results by 1-2 FPS.

If I replace NVEnc with x264, the FPS drops to 45-55 FPS.

For comparison, the command I made with cuvid adaptive deinterlacing and x264 encoding in FFmpeg was running at 80-150 FPS, resulting bitrate being 13 Mb/s for an hour long video.

If I replace x264 with NVEnc (high profile, crf 18), it runs at 220 FPS constantly, resulting bitrate again around 36 Mb/s.

Not the bob deinterlacing, the adaptive deinterlacing that doesn't exist in NVEnc, but is used by default in the GPU drivers.

Try adding '--interlace auto' under 'NVEnc->Misc->Addition', looks like that works.
'NVEnc->Hardware->Only use encoder' need to be enabled for it to work.

That doesn't work. It deinterlaces using the deinterlacer selected in the "Filtering" tab. Tested and confirmed.
All that option does is it specifies the field order for the input.

P.S.: You removed the ability to disable the deinterlacer in the filtering tab in the dev version where you changed the Deinterlacer list behavior. It would be useful if you could re-add it.
