I also noted that one could switch to a "studio" driver from within the Geforce experience.. anyone have tried that driver?

I assume you mean when you are outputting to ALTERNATE format? It has to be on for a 4k disc.

I'll take a look at it.

It's actually measurably faster? That surprises me.

A new NVEncC version 5.20 is out - if this should matter.

NO, movie-only backup. Yes, add --uhd-bd slow down the encode a bit. I have externally encoded movies with x265 and I don't add --uhd-bd to command.
I create the structure with tsmuxer and record to disk. I reproduce them perfectly on xbox series x.
if you could add the option to disable it in hidden options it would be perfect.


thanks for answering

AVS 2.6 can't handle the higher bit depth, and it has no internal filters equivalent to ConvertBits()
Quick test, but it seems that BD_RB can work with avs+ 32 bit
At least the encode started.

Sorry. But just because it happens to work on your system doesn't mean it is ok. That setting needs to be there or you are creating a non-compliant disc. I'd rather not make a change that could create bad discs.

I tested it before. If I remember correctly, the issue wasn't that it wouldn't work -- it was that some of the filters that BD-RB uses wouldn't work in AVISYNTH+. It's been a long time since I tried it, though.

@LowDead: What's your graphics driver version?
I've just downgraded to driver 451
no change with regards to pixelation

I did the other way around and updated the driver to 457.30 and still got no issues ...

Have someone else tried North American UHD release of Midway (2019) with 0.61.18? Itīs having DV and Iīm getting the tsmuxer error - Reading buffer overflow. Possible container streams are not syncronized...

Multiprocess

@ JD

Since 0.61.18 doesn't support MULTIPROCESS still... I noticed something very interesting.. I imported an MKV (1080p) that BD-RB (0.61.13) made for me a bit ago. I wanted to rerender it from 23GB to 10GB or so..check some Screen Sharing with my Android and my HDTV.

Using 0.61.13 because MULTIPROCESS functions with it, I had BD-RB import the MKV..went well.. It created:

Movie name (Root)
BDMV
CERTIFICATE
PSEUDO

If I leave PSEUDO there, the split won't happen for the rerendering process. It just goes into single rerendering process. If I delete it or rename it it will MP. I don't have to reload anything, just rename in some way then click Backup and click No on resume, Delete All Old Files.

Heh, I tried this with latest version and this doesn't work. Figured I'd give it a try.

I ran some tests on field based content on my Turing GPU. If you identify the source as interlaced (e.g. --interlace tff) the encoder will fail. If you add "--vpp-deinterlace" to or leave off the "--interlace" from the command line it reencodes it ok. The same holds true for H.264 and H.265. By default BD-RB deinterlaces field-based sources when using NVENCC.

It seems to be much the same with my Pascal GPU. I can't encode as interlaced, but deinterlacing of interlaced sources works.
It is possibly an NVEncC limitation or a bug, because I can produce interlaced encodes (TFF, BFF) with ffmpeg using NVEnc (h264_nvenc).

Edit:
Now it seems to work with NVEncC for my 'ancient' Pascal 1050ti GPU, after removing the '--multipass 2pass-full' and '--bref-mode middle' from my commandline.
Current commandline for interlaced encoding (probably still much overkill for the new presets):
Code:
NVEncC64.exe --avsw -i "%~1" --codec h264 --profile high --level 4.1 --lookahead 32 --vbr 0 --vbr-quality 22 --aq --aq-temporal --aq-strength 4 --gop-len 24 --ref 4 --nonrefp --bframes 3 --mv-precision Q-pel --preset quality --bluray --interlace tff --max-bitrate 40000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --output "%~1_NVEncC.m2ts"

If you want to do it faster, change the settings to "One Pass (ABR)" and "Good (Fast)". If you that isn't fast enough, you can edit the INI and set ENCODE_QUALITY=5. That will run X265 at it's highest speed. No UHD encode is going to go very fast compared to HD -- but it will be faster that HQ mode. Honestly, if you are outputting to BD-25 or BD-50, you are unlikely see a noticeable quality difference when compared to HQ.

Sorry about the version thing, I forgot to update the internal version number to v0.61.01... it won't hurt anything.
if i set 5 and not 1 ,i lost video picture quality ?

Here's an interesting aside that I found while doing a little testing.

As you might expect, CQM (NVENCC) and CRF (X264) are not exactly the same -- but they use similar concepts. What I've found, by performing SSIM tests, is that a CRF of 23 is not equivalent in quality to a CQM of 23. In fact, in order to get approximately the same SSIM (perceived quality) output of a CRF=23 encode you would use a CQM value of 25.5.

By adjusting this it also brings the sizing a little closer. So to get a similar quality output an NVENCC encode (CQM=25.5) the size of the output is only 1.338 times larger than that of X264 with CRF=23. That's really not bad considering the enormous speed advantage.

This testing was done on a Turing based NVIDIA card (GTX1660). Cards that don't support B frames would probably see different results.

Tomorrow I may set up some tests to find the equivalent CQM quality values for each of the whole number CRFs.

Blank one or more items, enter Setup and change one or more settings (a resizing one, for example). Blanked items are reset back to non-blanked.

Also, blanked items are not remembered when closing/opening BD-RB. It'd be nice to have this remembered even without saving the project.

Yeah. That was done purposefully. I can't remember why I did it that way, but I do remember it was a good reason. Blanking should be the last thing you do before encoding.

Yes. Using 5 is a lower quality setting than 1 (5 uses x264's "ultrafast" preset while 1 uses "faster") -- but, the question is whether you can even tell a difference on a 25GB disc. There's also a setting between the two (0) that will use "superfast".

@jdobbs
Is there any hidden option to demux all files then stop ?
(Instead of demux file 1 -> rebuild file 1 -> demux file 2 -> rebuild file 2->...)
I would like to have this option in order to replace some subtitles.
