Hybrid ignore settings

[Lemenus]

Version 2023.03.17.1 Windows 64
Insted of doing everything as usual, Hybrid ignore settings and encodes video with high bitrate, making it even larger than original, i didn't really derived from settings that i usually use. I Just upload video, set preset and run it

Preset that i use (NVENC) and debug are in attached archive

Looking at the encoding call:

"C:\Program Files\Hybrid\64bit\ffmpeg.exe" -y -loglevel fatal -noautorotate -nostdin -threads 8 -ignore_editlist true -i "G:\3D\Tuts\Blender\Sculpting\HUMAN\HUMAN_course-videos\HUMAN_chapter_02\C02L00_intro-to-modeling-and-detailing.mp4" -map 0:0 -an -sn -vf scale=in_range=tv:out_range=tv -pix_fmt yuv420p10le -strict -1 -vsync 0 -f yuv4mpegpipe - | "C:\Program Files\Hybrid\64bit\NVEncC.exe" --y4m -i - --fps 60.000 --codec h265 --profile main10 --level auto --tier high --sar 1:1 --lookahead 32 --output-depth 10 --multipass "2pass-quarter" --vbr 100 --max-bitrate 800000 --gop-len 600 --strict-gop --ref 3 --weightp --bframes 3 --bref-mode middle --no-b-adapt --mv-precision Q-pel --cu-max 32 --cu-min 8 --preset default --colorrange limited --colormatrix bt2020nc --cuda-schedule auto --psnr --ssim --output "C:\Users\Lem\AppData\Local\Temp\C02L00_intro-to-modeling-and-detailing_1_2023-05-08@08_26_25_9710_02.265"

Is "--vbr 100" what you wanted? 100kbit/s seems way too low for 1920x1080.

That said, NVEncC starts with those settings:

but uses really high bit rates.
You can try whether it helps you update the NVEncC.exe with the latest from https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/releases (use NVCEncC64.exe and rename it)
The calls itself seem to be okay.

Yeah, i set higher bitrate and now it works fine, weird! 
Those are tutorials, and some of them take lots of space, I don't need quality from them, it should be enough to see what's going on, but no more, so this is why i'm trying to compress them as hard as possible, it's strange that such problem exist.
And why Hybrid uses 32 bit version of nvenc? Wouldn't it be more efficient to use 64?

[Selur]

Hybrid uses the 64bit version, it just expects it to be named NVEncC.exe not NVEncC64.exe.

I see. Thank you for help
