which one is better ?

MagicYUV or Cineform?

cineform compress a lot more but how is the quality compared to magicYUV and uncompressed ?

It seems there better places to compare codecs but at least what do you need it for in VD2?

If any codec compresses "a lot better than" a lossless codec, then it is probably lossy. All lossless codecs will have a similar strength, and compared to uncompressed video with the same color space and depth, the ratio is hardly better than 1:5 in optimal cases, rather around 1:2.5 to 1:3.

The Ut Video Codec Suite is also very efficient and very versatile, supports many sample formats.

humble suggestions:
If you don't need lossless for some sensitive restoration, you can use near-lossless (cineform)

Also if you have enough cpu power, maybe you can get even better storage-quality ratio using x264-10bit (enable zerolatency)

I've never used VDub(2) for capture per se, but based on my experience transcoding uncompressed 10-bit 422 sources I'm confident that Cineform at 'Film Scan 2' quality would be way, way beyond 'visually lossless' and very close to arithmetically lossless.

What are you planning to do with your captures btw? IMHO, far more important is the compatibility of the capture format with the video systems you use, or are intending to use for subsequent processing. Does the import interface preserve high-bit depth transfer, assuming said system does support high bit depth processing? How does the system handle luminance ranges on import with that particular format - very important to determine the behavior, especially if the system does not have native (SDK implementation) Cineform support ? Process performance in/through said system ? And can you export in the same format, if that is desirable - in which case similar considerations apply with respect to bit-depth transfer and luminance handling at export?

My two cents.

thank you guys!!!

I don't think I see a difference in quality between the 2 codecs. Maybe when I zoom in, I can see that magicyuv is slightly better. So Cineform compression should be enough for me.

Out of interest, what Cineform quality settings did you use in the two shots ?

strange both were encoded x265 with the same setting in HDR BT2020 (DCI-P3).

after comparing with the source (untouched), the colors match magicyuv and cineform is slightly different. I wonder why, both are 422 10bit v210 capture of the same file.

film scan 1 & 3 but I'm not sure, I did the comparison a couple months ago and wanted the opinion of the doom9 experts :P

Also, sorry if its a stupid question but could it be possible to add NVenc to Vdub ? my cpu can handle x264 encoding while capturing but at very fast or worse preset only and im mostly interested in HEVC for HDR.
of course my cpu cannot handle x265 in vdub but encoding h265 with nvidia should be fast enough ? or is it already possible and i dont know about it ?

You can use the "External Encoders" (see VirtualDub help) feature of VirtualDub (both vanilla as well as VirtualDub2) to use NVEnc while doing "normal" encodes. For capturing I think there is no solution for VirtualDub, currently.

NVenc: there is no way for capture now, and not coming soon.

Ah, OK, so these are HDR captures ? I was hesitant about mentioning your shots looked rather underexposed

Filmscan 3 is way overkill. It's a 'special' mode that is not available with the (GoPro) Cineform VFW codec and, to my knowledge, in other native implementations of the Cineform SDK:

yes HDR capture colors are triggered at x265 encoding. I captured a UHD-BD just to make sure I get proper colors/hdr etc.. now that I know that magicyuv works (at least when I compare 2 frames tone mapped with madvr), i can now capture my games in high-quality 4K HDR properly. Too bad cineform slightly change the colors, it would have saved tons of space(only have 1tb of capture space).

thanks for the filmscan 3 explanation, I didn't know that.

*sorry for my english

I've no experience in that domain. Maybe others can help. It's surely color matrix related.

I doubt it is cineform that is guilty in this case. What software was used to do the encode to x265? Because you said it is encoded with DCI-P3 I assume there was (different) color conversion. How it is possible:
1) magicyuv+avi has no metadata at all -> everything default.
2) cineform+avi has some metadata -> replaces defaults (not same).
Just guessing.

ok, I did another comparison because the other one was 3 months old so maybe I did something wrong. This time, I don't see a difference in the colors, can you?

ok
ps. I don't get it, you ask which codec, and then show test which is 3 months old. Why
Out of curiosity, what hw you use for capture? From which source?
