Handbrake Nvidia Nvenc Quality

Then you can benefit from 5x faster 150 fps quicksync nvidia encodes.

Handbrake nvidia nvenc quality. I always go full nvenc with. Darker spots looked twice as good on x265. However on my gtx1650 super which has the turing 116 encoder there are really only 3 settings producing 3 encode times and 3. Also to use nvenc encoding you ll need the nvidia graphics driver 418 81 or later and an nvidia geforce gtx 1050 series gpu or better per handbrake s documentation.

It s just a difference how nvencc and handbrake name an option and if they offer it to the user. Video decoding all video filters audio encoding handbrake s engine a v sync etc subtitles muxing. Most of handbrake s official presets use the x264 or x265 video encoders with a constant rate factor sometimes abbreviated crf or simply rf. The slider goes 6 settings.

A lower rf number produces higher quality video and a higher rf number produces lower quality video. Under video tab open the drop down list of video codec. About handbrake intel qsv and nvidia nvenc reply to thread. I tried nvenc h265 slowest 2mbit vs x265 normal 2mbit and x265 was a bit better in quality.

Encoding with all presets seems to be very fast with not so good output and large files. Handbrake supports the nvidia nvenc nvenc encoder but does not support the nvdec decoder. Dropping it to 22 produces about the same file sizes as x264 18 rf and the encode performance improves. The cpu will still be used for.

In the save as option give output file a name and specify a directory to save output file. I m using a gtx 1060 and have driver version 440 100 installed. And as it s movies for my phone then i rather have a good quality. In handbrake i am more curious about encoder preset scale when using h 265 nvenc which goes from left called high quality to the right called slow with fast presets in between.

For encoder preset i m using very slow with x264 and high quality with nvenc. And it was awith my 2080 i tried with. So far the quality with nvenc 22 looks about equivalent to x264 18. Handbrake ffmpeg and nvencc usually all use the same libraries from the current nvidia sdk to access the vpu on your graphic card so unless someone messes up the quality should not differ.

So i went with x265 on all the movies. In case of the presets handbrake offers presets named fast medium slow while nvencc names them. Using the quality control. Quality wise any encode of a bluray will degrade the quality more you re trying to stuff a 50gb discs into.

High quality high performance fast medium slow default. Here takes handbrake nvenc as an example. For streaming or youtube videos. First make sure you have the latest version of handbrake installed as of 6 26 2020 that is version 1 3 3.

Intel qsv option allows you to encode h 264 while nvidia nvenc helps encode hevc h 264. These operations all happen in parallel as the job progresses.
