Voukoder Pro 2.0

Release Notes

This product requires the FFmpeg 7.1 dynamic link libraries to be installed and the installation directory to be added to the PATH environment variable. Installing a package from here performs all required steps. But you can install alternate versions, too. Just make sure these are 64 bit DLLs, the version is 7.1 and the installation directory has been added to the PATH environment variable.

If NVENC doesn't work please update to the latest GPU driver version.

This version include x264 and x265???

Vouk · December 18, 2024 at 3:27 PM Official Post

It depends on what FFmpeg you install first.

✅ GPL: Both encoders are compatible with the GPL license and are indeed included in the GPL FFmpeg version I provide.

⛔ LGPL: The LGPL version doesn't include x264 and x265 as the encoders are not compatible with this license.

Split Encoding on NVENC AV1 works! 2x Speed. Thanks!

Why is the x264 encoder failing in Davinic Resolve or in the Voukoder Pro Designer Scene Test, when i set the Profile manually on "high"?

I've installed the GPL FFMPEG Version.

IMPORTANT! Real exports using an NLE might be slower due to the NLE overhead.

Ok nevermind seems also crashing when not setting any Profile.

You could use something like this:

Code

"x264-params":"profile=high"

You can write many parameters there ... seperate them with a colon ":", e.g.

Code

"x264-params":"profile=high:crf=51"

Hmm where?

And x264 dont seem to work with any settings currently on my end.

rfgamaral · December 22, 2024 at 12:14 PM

I've installed FFmpeg.GPL.Installer.msi from GitHub, reboot my PC just in case, but opening DaVinci 19 I get this:

[Blocked Image: https://i.ibb.co/Wv8QhSk/Screenshot-2024-12-22-111211.png]

I've checked and C:\Program Files\FFmpeg is in the system PATH.

What am I doing wrong?

Resolve 19 -->Voukoder (libx265): Works perfectly here with x265-params settings. Is audio pass trough also possible?
