I will be reporting the problem to Donald Graft urgently because I am quite sure it is a CUVID bug.

First I wanted to support the mastering display parameters based on recent posts in the x265 thread but it was a little bit tricky. If you post your source media info and your resulting command line it will help me to code it.

If media info tells:

Color range : Limited
Color primaries : BT.2020
Transfer characteristics : PQ
Matrix coefficients : BT.2020 non-constant
Mastering display color primaries : R: x=0.680000 y=0.320000, G: x=0.265000 y=0.690000, B: x=0.150000 y=0.060000, White point: x=0.312700 y=0.329000
Mastering display luminance : min: 0.0050 cd/m2, max: 4000.0000 cd/m2
Maximum Content Light Level : 4000 cd/m2
Maximum Frame-Average Light Level : 290 cd/m2

a sample command line would be according to x265 specs (16bit input is assumed via DGDecNV and if I understand the specs correctly):

--crf 24 --preset slow --tune grain --profile main10 --output-depth 10 --master-display "G(13250,34500)B(7500,3000)R(34000,16000)WP(15635,16450)L(40000000,50)" --colorprim bt2020 --colormatrix bt2020nc --transfer smpte-st-2084 --range limited --max-cll "4000,290" --input-depth 16

@mparade

Thanks, it will definitively be supported in the next build (or one after).

Stax,
I upgraded to 1.6.0 and my batch script is broken again.
I opens a staxrip.exe but does not encode or create a temp folder. When I try to run the cli script manually it opens the select Avisynth source filter dialog box. How can I bypass this and set it to automatic for every run?

This dialog is only shown if the source filter is set to 'Manual', you can set it to 'Automatic'.

There is a project option on the misc tab that will hide any dialog, it's probably better to enable this only via CLI with following CLI switch: -SetHideDialogsOption:true

Thank you. I am waiting for the CUDA bug to repair because I prefer GPU assisted decoding:

The only other source filter that support hardware decoding is DSS2/DirectShowSource but it's probably 8-bit only.

Hi frank, thank you for your hard work in staxrip, i have a question please, can i import image sequence to staxrip.

[stax76]

Hi, what kind of image and filename pattern do you have? One filter I found is this:

http://avisynth.nl/index.php/ImageSource

[ABDO]

thanks for your quick reply, my image is png or Bmp, i use adobe premiere pro to export it, and want to use staxrip to encode it because it much better in this case,the filename pattern is depend on the number of frams exported , if less than 3 digits from 1:100 ( 01-02-03-99), if larg than 3 digts then (001-002-003) and so on.

[stax76]

You can try to customize staxrip or write a avs/vpy script and open the script file as source file. I'll try to add direct support for image sequences. Would exporting it in a video format with adobe premiere not work?

[ABDO]

Would exporting it in a video format with adobe premiere not work? i can use adobe premiere to exporting it in a video, but the Problem is the (hevc encoder) in premiere is Useless, and give very bad result compara it (x265) in staxrip, would be great if you can get some time and effort to add this Feature dirctly to staxrip,Unfortunately i do not understand or use scripts

Heyho,

Dunno if this was already reported, couldn't find anything in the search, but there is a mistake in the automatically created command line für AV1.

If you use the threads-flag, its automatically creating "t=x". This is not correct. There are two flags for it. If you use "--threads", you can use the "=". if you use the short "-t" it should be "-t x" without "=".

As this codec is still in progress, I wouldn't use the shortcodes, because it is not clear, if they remain in later versions.

For example you get a failure when using the "--best"-flag in your programm. In the latest repository of AV1 this flag is gone.

Updates

mClean v1.7c
* Slight adjustments and slightly better speed

NVEnc v3.20
Summary: Addition of automatic selection function of edge emphasis filter/device, correction of defects, etc.

Common
· If you do not specify otherwise, make device selection automatically when you execute.
In a multi-GPU environment, automatically determine the GPU to be used, especially when there is no designation of the device to be used.

The judgment standard is:
· Whether the specified encoding is possible (check codec, 8bit/10bit, YUV420/YUV444 etc)
· If --avhw is specified, it is possible to decode HW of the input file
· Low use rate of Video Engine
· Low GPU usage rate
· New generation of GPU
· People with a large number of GPU cores

The usage rate of the Video Engine and GPU usage rate are acquired by executing "nvidia -smi.exe -q" because the x64 version can not use the NVML library and the x86 version can not use NVML.
Nvidia-smi.exe is normally installed in "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\nvidia-smi.exe" together with the driver.

· Added Unsharp filter. (-vpp-unsharp)
Unsharp filter for ordinary contour and detail emphasis (I think that's it). At first I tried using it because it is in the NPP library ... I tried it a lot but I thought that usage was bad after all, but it did not work well, so I decided to implement it myself with CUDA as there was no choice.

Parameters
-radius = <int> (default = 3, 1-9)
Scope of contour / detail detection. By setting it to a larger value, it will emphasize in response to a wider range of detail.

-weight = <float> (default = 0.5, 0-10)
Strength of contour and detail emphasis. By setting it to a larger value, it becomes strongly emphasized.

-threshold = <float> (default = 10.0, 0-255)
Threshold for contour and detail detection. Outline emphasis is performed on pixels having a difference equal to or larger than the threshold value.

Example: Somewhat stronger
-vpp-unsharp weight = 1.0

· Added edge level adjustment filter. (-vpp-edgelevel)
Added by adding CUDA as an edge level adjustment filter after Unsharp. The default value of the parameter is slightly weaker than the Aviutl version.

Parameters
-strength = <float> (default = 5.0, - 31-31)
Strength of contour emphasis. By setting it to a larger value, it will emphasize in response to a wider range of detail.

-threshold = <float> (default = 20.0, 0-255)
Noise threshold to avoid outline emphasis. As the larger the value, the larger the luminance change is treated as noise.

-black = <float> (default = 0.0, 0-31)
For the black part of the outline, shoot black more and emphasize the outline.

-white = <float> (default = 0.0, 0-31)
For white portions of the outline, shoot more whitely and emphasize the outline.

Example: Somewhat stronger (Aviutl version default)
-vpp-edgelevel strength=10.0, threshold=16.0, black=0, white=0

Example: Strengthening the black part of the outline
- vpp-edgelevel strength=5.0, threshold=24.0, black=6.0

NVEncC

· Fixed crop being doubled when using crop and resize when using avhw reader.

· Adjust the argument of --transfer to that used in x264 etc.
smpte-st-2048 -> smpte 2048
smpte-st-428 → smpte 428

@ABDO

I tried the filter, everything needs to be defined manually so it's too much work to integrate the filter in a way that things work as simple as opening a video file.

D:\Temp\aaa\test_000001.jpg
D:\Temp\aaa\test_003040.jpg

ImageSource("D:\Temp\aaa\test_%06d.jpg", 1, 3040, 25)

Maybe there is a easier way with ffmpeg or vapoursynth.

From a tool like premiere I would expect that it can export to a suitable video format.

@StephanD
@mcjordan

Thanks for reporting, I'll fix/update nvenc/aomenc support.

[ABDO]

ok, i will export video from premiere with ( AVC -H264 ) and it did Excellent job.thank you frank, always willing to help

[mcjordan]

Hmm... About new NVEnc 3.2.0
With this addition to my custom NVEnc profile aka
--vpp-unsharp radius=2,weight=0.65,threshold=20 --vpp-edgelevel strength=6.0,threshold=16.0,black=0,white=0
I've get a massive color shifting towards the red spectrum area.
Тhis is not observed when using any other --vpp filter.
Maybe I'm losing something somewhere...

You could also try to export using a lossless codec or maybe a codec with lossless settings. There are many threads on the topic over at Adobes site, like this one:

NVEnc v3.2.1
* fix issue of vpp-unsharp, which made the color of output video becoming unstable, going either red or blue.

Problem of color shifting /my previous post/ is resolved.
