Where can these CQ settings be found?

Also, why are the HEVC profiles MKV only I wonder.

Because the marketing chosen by DivX was to create DivX Plus HD format where the container selected for this was Matroska. So, they keep it the same for HEVC contents I guess...

I see. Thanks.


I tried out the Divx10 encoder, using the 720p HEVC profile with an H264 file I'd encoded in handbrake. Impressive reduction of size with reasonable quality but I keep getting what seems to be a juddery stuttery framerate with the output.

A new version has been released :

Quote:
DivX265 version 1.3.74
What's new:

Faster encoding, up to 3 times faster (balanced mode)
64 bit and 32 bit version
New options wrt signalling colorspace properties: -709, --colour-primaries, --transfer-characteristics, --matrix-coefficients

Note that this requires the VC 2013 runtime .
It is recommended to use the 32 bit version with AviSynth.

Known issues:

XP is not supported

DivX265 version 1.5

What's new:

Supports DivX HEVC temporal scalability.
New options:
-ts, --temporal-scalability Enable two layer temporal scalability, where the frame rate of the baselayer is reduced by 2
Known issues:

Statistics Linux version incorrect.
32 bit version cannot encode main 10 at 4K resolutions, use 64 bit version.
Quote:
DivX HEVC temporal scalability

DivX265 version 1.5 can create dual frame rate streams. For example, it can create 4K60/30 dual layer streams which can be played back on DivX HEVC 4K Certified devices that support 60Hz or 30 Hz. This makes it possible to play 4K@60 content on DivX HEVC file-based certified devices that cannot meet the playback requirements for 4K@60. It requires a mux which puts the DivX Tag (unregistered userdata) in "Codec Private". For example the DivX MKV mux from github jaya will do this. The DivX Tag contains a random asset number and layer specific details.

Is every other frame just a non-ref B (or P even)? That would be the most sensible way to put something like that in a single file, then you could ignore every other frame with no change to the video.

The odd frames are indeed non-reference frames and are not required for decoding the base layer.

Code:
ffmpeg -i source.avi -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p pipe:1 | ./DivX265_1_5_8 -fps 15 -s 1024x768 -i - -aqo 5 -br 4000 -o dest.hevc
Value is outside DivX HEVC Profile: Frame rate. Must be a value listed in the profile
I'm confused. What does the encoder want?

Edit: fps 15 is not supported. Sigh. Since this encoder outputs raw video I wonder why any limitations exist at all.

Frame rates for DivX HEVC

DivX guarantees that all streams created with DivX tools in compliance with DivX profiles can be played back on DivX certified devices.

Valid frame rates for DivX HEVC:
60 Hz
60000/1001 Hz
50 Hz
48 Hz
30 Hz
30000/1001 Hz
25 Hz
24 Hz
24000/1001 Hz

15 fps is an odd frame rate for content distribution so it's not supported. Is there a particular reason you prefer that framerate?

Thanks, that makes it a snap for decoders to quietly catch up when they need to then.

In the future, will they be capable of being reference frames, but restricted to only their layer? Or is that pretty pointless?

Well, hierarchical frame dropping has been around for a long time. This feature ensures an easy 2x reduction, but almost any normally encoded video will have lots of non-reference B-frames, or even reference B-frames, that can be skipped in decoding if they're not on the reference list for whatever frame's presentation time is coming up next for decode.

It could sure be handy if there was a 30 Hz strobe or something . However allowing a reference B frames in the "droppable" layer would mean one less to use in the main layer, which might not be worth it quality-wise.

This feature is roughly equivalent to x265's --temporal-layers. The trick with fixed GOP 3 B is cool, as you automatically get 2x and 4x options. Probably a meaningful loss in efficiency, though. Perhaps if 120 fps catches on .

Tons of old point and shoot cameras record video at 15 frames per second. I really really doubt that the hardware which is capable of playing FullHD@30fps HEVC streams cannot properly decode 1024x768 videos encoded at a half frame rate.

Then again, your CLI encoder doesn't produce HEVC videos (so "certification" and such are not the things to really care about), it only produces raw HEVC video streams.

So leave the choice to the user please.

One last question: your CLI encoder doesn't have any notion of 2 passes encoding and CRF encoding which is kinda counterintuitive 'cause I really don't know what to expect from the encoding based on average bitrate.

Yes, definitely there is content from some devices at 15fps and devices should be able to play that frame rate, but it wouldn't be within the DivX HEVC profile specs. My point about content was more about content distribution, especially in the case of something like 4K where high quality on large screens is a key consideration.

FWIW, we have a backlog item to allow custom frame rates for HEVC output from DivX Converter later in the year (definitely for the GUI; I need to check on if this will be available in DivXEngine.exe also). I brought this up to our PMs and they're reviewing the possibility of adding non-profile-compliant encoding like lower frame rates to the DivX265 encoder as well.

StaxRip includes the encoder and a CLI profile.
