Okay, now that the compulsive silliness is outta the way...

I am currently reencoding a Blu-ray that is about 31 Gigs. Since it is a bit bigger than most, I'm using Default 2 Pass with some x264 tweaks that I normally use in a case like this.

Since you, JD, had said that the difference in the x264-64.exe and the x264L-64.exe is the non 'L' is the current version or an updated version that will run better with the DirectShow frame server as opposed to the internal LAV one. So, I switched to using the DirectShow figuring I'm using the newest, fasted version of x264, right?

However, I checked my TM during the first pass, and it is showing just the x264.exe being used and NOT the x264-64.exe...??? Why? I am not currently using any Avisynth. Why is BDRB using the NON-64 version?

Thanks!

I'd like to see if anyone else has seen similar.

For me, 61.22 was a regression. I think it might have to do with the way nvencc was built, if it was changed. The last build, 61.21, I was able to re-encode using my GPU, at least the utilization rate was quite high for both the GPU and the CPU.

I thought it is likely to be nvencc, because I have another software I use and recently they decided to no longer build for win8.1 on an update. In their changelog, they decided to only build for the latest on Win10, I feel like something similar may be happening with nvencc in bdrb which is frustrating. Yes, 8.1 is older, but I built this as a HTPC and last year bought this graphics card with the intent to encode many of the discs from my library, and not have it rely on my mediocre i5. I just bought all 6 seasons of The Clone Wars, but so far it has been a disaster trying to get them re-encoded correctly.

So here is some of the info,
My system:

I did some searching and reading on here, and I found some folks troubleshooting. When I run the last command manually, many times I get this error:
Code:
copyHtoD: failed to allocate memory: cudaErrorUnsupportedPtxVersion
A couple of times I've gotten a different error, but that error didn't make sense so I could have been messing with the settings trying to get it to work.


Finally, if any of you brilliant minds can see any issues with my encode settings on 61.21? Even though it completed the encode, there were A LOT of artifacts on the encode. Previously, I've been using just the CPU for encoding, not the nvencc/GPU. I don't recall getting such poor quality, but I'm guessing that this probably has to do with my settings.

Thank you everyone for any assistance and for also realizing that I'm highly unlikely to upgrade to Win10.

Well... NVENCC was updated to version 5.20 in that release, so I guess there could be some compile issue (although I haven't had any other reports of issues). In looking up the reported error, this is what I got:
Code:
cudaErrorUnsupportedPtxVersion = 222

This indicates that the provided PTX was compiled with an 
unsupported toolchain. The most common reason for this, is 
the PTX was generated by a compiler newer than what is 
supported by the CUDA driver and PTX JIT compiler.
There have been updates to NVENCC since then. As a test, I'd recommend user404 try downloading the newest NVENCC version from this link. But be warned, I haven't tested that release.

I don't think I understand the issue with the post.... why was it hidden, and why would it require approval?

OK here's an issue I would like some help with
I have a Blu-Ray (30GB) with 4 audio tracks (all Eng) : Music
192-24 PCM Stereo
48-24 PCM Stereo
192-24 DTS HD-MA 5.1
48-24 Dolby Atmos
Now if I choose to keep HD Audio, it can't shrink enough to fit a BD25
If I re-encode to AC3 I get a 8GB disc
What I would like to do is some where inbetween, say, keep 1 of the HD tracks and re-encode the other 3
How would I go about this?
TIA

Wally

If you delete the 48-24 PCM Stereo stream it all will fit on a 25GB disc. This stream has little value anyway when you also have the 192-24 PCM Stereo stream.

Thanks - that worked

Thanks jdobbs,

So I tried the link. I used the 32 bit version of nvencc. No joy, same error. I took the nvencc version from 61.21, and put it in the 61.22 folder, and it works.

So, I'm guessing that those of us using windows 8.1, are pretty much out of luck on this?

What are my options really?

My daily driver is fedora linux, but I did compile ffmpeg a few years ago to be able to take advantage of some features I wanted specifically for my htpc, but I don't have that VM that I used to cross compile any longer.

I guess another option is to use the older version of nvencc, but the encode seemed to have some artifact issues compared to the cpu encode I did of the same movie.

Lastly, I suppose, I would be forced to use the cpu for encoding otherwise right?

Anything I'm not looking at? Any options I'm not seeing? I suppose I could ask on github, but honestly, most devs now are into removing support of older systems, for a myriad of reasons.

Thanks again, and hopefully the admins get this posting thing resolved so I don't have to go through the approval process to post anything any longer.

Code:
cudaErrorUnsupportedPtxVersion = 222

This indicates that the provided PTX was compiled with an 
unsupported toolchain. The most common reason for this, is 
the PTX was generated by a compiler newer than what is 
supported by the CUDA driver and PTX JIT compiler.
There have been updates to NVENCC since then. As a test, I'd recommend user404 try downloading the newest NVENCC version from this link. But be warned, I haven't tested that release.

I don't think I understand the issue with the post.... why was it hidden, and why would it require approval?

Good news,
I realized although it isn't listed, the windows 7 and windows 8 driver for the 1660 are essentially the same. Although Windows update won't go past a really old version for 8.1, you can manually update. Of course I'm still stuck on API 11 though, but it is something. So now, I have nvidia 471 driver installed.

After I updated, I reran 61.22 with the latest nvencc (the one provided on the link since it was already in place). This failed, but I got a different and strange error. So, I looked up and ran the last command. After playing around a bit, I discovered that if I removed --avs, it not only ran, but it was smoking my GPU, pegging it at 90% for a majority of the encode while leaving my cpu pretty low, between 15 and 30% usage.

I went back to playing with the BDRB settings. Once I unselect "use X264's internal LAVF for frame serving" and choose "Use directShowSource for frameserving" it worked, BDRB 61.22 would correctly run and status. The backup started and completed.

However, After seeing how when I run it manually, it pegs my GPU to >90%, I don't think this was correctly using my GPU. In fact, most of the time running from the BDRB GUI the CPU was pegged at 100% and my GPU was around 30-40%.

I then went back to the original nvencc and files that go with 61.22 natively, and everything was the same. As long as my decoding frame server stayed on DirectShowSource it worked fine. However, the CPU usage was high for the entire encode, and GPU usage was very low, so I'm wondering if it is actually using my GPU. Plus, to be honest, on the encodes I was doing previously, I had a lot of artifacts while using "nvencc" on v61.21. The newest one looked really good, which makes me believe it might be doing a CPU encode.
Anyone have any ideas?

@user404

When encoding, there are times when you have to use AVISYNTH to modify the source in order to make it compliant (--avs). There are also some settings available in SETUP that require it. When I implemented NVENCC I added checks so that whenever possible it would use the GPU to perform those functions (eliminating the AVISYNTH requirement). But AVISYNTH is very powerful, and sometimes there is no choice except to use it (performing functions that aren't available on the GPU). When that is the case, you'll see the GPU usage drop and the CPU usage go up.

If I read your posts correctly, it looks like you're running BD-RB on a VM under Linux, is that right? If so, I have to say that running software that works closely with hardware (like NVENCC) can run into issues when implemented on a virtual machine. That makes compatibility a little hard to ensure, and very difficult to debug. You never know when an issue is related to the software or the VM environment. If you're not running it on a VM, then ignore this paragraph.
