It might be true indeed for Windows not for anything else and also only if those test have been done properly.

Though it might be even only true for a specific ntoskrnl and scheduling also when we talk about milliseconds so their could be even a difference between Windows Vista/7/8 to 10.

But it is even with the Posix Layer pretty normal that Microsoft optimizes for Windows entirely and doesn't fight so much as GCC devs have to fight finding the right balance

It means that if you have CPU with AVX extension, you can use all binaries except AVX2 (which hangs at encoding on AVX-CPU). You can determine your CPU arch by executing x265 with option -V, for example:

So a Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge user cannot or rather should not use AVX2 built binaries? Is that correct?

Correct: If your CPU does not support AVX2, you should not use a build compiled with options where AVX2 support is already assumed for the C++ parts of the code. It may crash somewhere due to unsupported opcodes or wrong assumptions about register widths.

PS: Im really heavily interested to see a compare of x265 on Nano Server vs Server Core and Full Core

so fully headless without all the different reviewers overhead in place, those results can only be trusted very partially that we see here now being talked about especially on Windows Consumer OS.

The differences are subtle as the preset "increases" but yes, it's there. I guess at this point, everything "counts".

Maybe it was a one-time occurence but it appears --preset veryslow benefits the most from the improvements. Will require extended tests.

PS: Tests were done on an i7-6700 (non K/non overclocked) 4c/8t@3.7GHz running Windows 10.

This is a weird experiment but getting the same results again:

When using a VS compiled x265 against a GCC compiled x265, if running --preset veryslow, I'm getting a 0.14 fps to 0.15 fps speed delta compared to using a "lesser aggressive" preset such as --preset slower and an almost equal delta while using preset --slow.

If this is confirmed using other source materials, it implies --preset veryslow has similar benefits to using --preset slow but an increased yield quality.

That is, if you can stand and cope with the slow fps crunching overall.

Would be good if anyone can run the same tests.

I think it is better to cite percentage improvements rather than raw fps deltas, since the base fps can vary so widely.

Yes but still can anyone run the tests and run them with --preset placebo as well?

Jusr curious, is SAO improvements being looked in to? It's something which usually subjectively seems better turned off, which I realise shouldn't be the case. I have suspected in the past it may be because it is too strong?

Question on mastering_display_colour_volume SEI.

From several posts where mastering_display_colour_volume SEI explained (e.g https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hdr-1...carlos-carmona ) i can infer that the parameters max_display_mastering_luminance and min_display_mastering_luminance have to be calculated from input yuv-file or from 16/12 bit RGB TIFF. The algorithm is specified in a SMPTE document.
Here is my question. x265 encoding (unless it is lossless) makes original frames and reconstructed ones to different. Hence, max_display_mastering_luminance and min_display_mastering_luminance may be incorrect on decoder's side (and hence on display's side).
My question, should i re-compute max_display_mastering_luminance and min_display_mastering_luminance from reconstructed images or remain these parameters intact after encoding (i.e. remain them 'as-is' as computed from input raw data)?

min/max_display_mastering_luminance describe the display which was used to master this content, not the content itself.
What you probably meant is MaxFALL and MaxCLL?

In any case, the overall luminance of the image should not change from a lossy encoding (and even if it did, it would be miniscule changes at worst), so using the value you calculated on the original frames is fine.

Like this ?

https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php...&postcount=207

also some user here showed something similar with x265 output results where the entire lighting seem to have changed perceptually

both are 10->8 bit conversion results

Though i guess it's just that Intel is more efficient with it's chroma handling that lets it look like more pixels responsible for the indirect lighting where captured in the end and better preserved so overall a higher perceptual visible compression efficiency in the HDR space compared to Nvidia, or they just prefer to give chroma a higher per frame distribution priority to look closer to the source in HDR.

or just a better 10->8 bit conversion origin uknown

As you can clearly see the distribution differs and Nvidia seems to be psy wise investing into other parts then Intel does, quiete fascinating to see this without needing to measure the difference

AMD and Nvidia seem pretty identical in their output only Intel differs on this specific part

Thanks for a prompt reply. Frankly speaking i meant both min/max_display_mastering_luminance (signaled in MasteringDisplayColorVolume SEI) and MaxCLL/MaxFall (signaled in Content Light Level SEI).
What's about MaxCll? After encoding this value might be different from that obtained from source yuv or tiff.

In my opinion, lossy encoding may cause non-negligible changes in min/max_display_mastering_luminance and MaxFall/MaxCll.
Why? If a quantization rounding offset is less 0.5 in an encoder then reconstructed pixels tend to be smaller (leakage of energy). If the quantization rounding offset is above 0.5 then an opposite effect takes place. The quantization rounding offset is like a pump which either inhale or exhale "energy".
Consequently, after encoding MaxFall/MaxCll may differ from those in the original file.

x265 queries the CPU for what generation of SIMD it supports (AVX2, AVX, SSE4, MMX) at run-time and links the asm routines for the highest generation supported. So it shouldn't matter which generation you built on as long as it is x86.

I'm having problem with non English filename using StxRip on Windows 7 64, Codepage 1252/850.
Running avs2pipemod64.exe (version 1.1.1 - Aug 2016) it gives:

Code:
avs2pipemod[error]: Import: couldn't open "B:\Programas\StaxRipTemp\S� corro_temp\S� corro.x265 - MKV - Super Low 26 - AAC - 22050 Hz.avs"
Talking with its author, Stax76, he said that since it works with x264, probably x265 could be the cause of problem, once we need to implement an avifile/avisynth/vapoursynth reader. "All of Rigaya's hardware encoders have direct support for avs and vpy, x264, so it supports at least avs".

I suspected avs2pipemod was the cause of problem, but it seems not.

Greetings from me and Stax76.

Thanks for all the new efforts but one thing is not clear to me: is new table already fully implemented or just 8-bit? On all versions starting from?
Thanks

It's only available for 8bit encoding atm.

No, since v2.3+22 it's default.
