Nice simple CLI.
Code:
aomenc --best --end-usage=vbr --target-bitrate=1000 --kf-max-dist=96 --width=1920 --height=1080 -o monkeys_1080p_1000.webm monkeys.yv12
This triggers an automated 2 pass encode.
Wow this is slow
. The first pass ran at ~21fps on my 3.4 GHz quad core Skylake. The second pass is doing 18 fpm / .3 fps. No word on quality yet. I've got awhile to go
Threading seems to kind of work, it's getting 50% CPU usage on my box.
I'm willing to bet that the equator360 thing is related to equirectangular panoramas, which are used to deliver 360 video. It's an optical projection that lets you smash 360 degrees of video into a standard 2 dimensional frame.
If anyone knows how to optimize this sucker for perceptual quality, please share! I'm guessing turning variance AQ on will be a good idea for visual tests but not for metrics. Is this a useful feature?
