The better caption.

Just reduced a file from 41.1 gigs to 3.03 gigs and didn't lose HDR or any video quality in the least bit. This helped big time. Thank you. The only thing I'm trying to figure out is the compressed video won't keep the movie cover that the original file had. Not sure how to fix that?

Have you heard of "Xmedia Recode"? It can do NVENC two-pass VBR encoding with both 264 and 266 settings. I have the RTX 2080 Ti so I cannot test AV1. I have been using "NVENC two-pass VBR encoding for a long time, ever since the GTX 1060 came out. I don't know why Handbrake does not use NVENC two-pass VBR encoding. I would love for you to test NVENC two-pass VBR encoding.

this video has a lot of useful information, thanks for making it

I dint understand the end? why do you buy NVIDIA GPU over AMD?

Thanks for your videos, need your help so I can understand and do the best choice, I'm willing to get a laptop to use as a dual pc streaming with OBS hardware encoding , and I have a limited budget either I can go with a 4060 that has a good ram 5600 ddr5 and a faster cpu or with a 4070 that has a last gen cpu 12700h and ddr4 ram , since im gonna most of the time using the laptop just for hardware encoding on OBS is there any difference between the 2 gpu in term of encoders ? knowin that the nvidia encoder is a seperated piece of hardware does both of the 4060 and 4070 perform equally? or does other specs of gpu like cuda cores , Core Speed , TMUs will boost the encoder ? .
will really appreciate your answer

Would love to see a comparison between GPU encoders since all 3 vendors support AV1 now and Nvidia has recently claimed theirs offer better quality than others.

Just so you know, 30 series RTX GPUs do have AV1 decoding, however it does not have AV1 encoder.

Just get Nvidia 4090 which has several hardware AV1 encoders now.
I believe Nvidia unlocked 5 AV1 encode streams at the same time.
Problem solved.
FFmpeg 6.0 now supports NVENC AV1 encoding and HDR.

My current PC shows VP9 for this video despite opting for AV1.

so basicly Intel's IGPU with Quick Sync isnt good for Twitch,You Tube etc streaming?Best picture quality is
achieved with strong CPU(without IGPU) and for the moment Nvidia GPU with Nvenc encoder for streaming?

Your graph is showing AV1 to be better than H.265?

While AOM might be slower than RAV1E, you can use either AV1AN or just run multiple encoding tasks to remove that speed difference.
Also I seriously doubt you can tell the difference of VMAF higher than 97 as you claim, unless you're pixel peeping.
Cool and interesting video though. But why in a parking lot?

Hello Intel has GPUs now.

great video. very clear. have been looking for something like this clear explanations and specific settings. thanks man.

AV1 encoding option does not show up in my Handbrake (ver. 1.5.1). Any idea how to fix this?

Well explained good sir

educational! ❤
