    The next "Pro" build might take a while. I still need to find more time for myself, addressing and fixing all of that bugs, and ... simplifying the project here and there.

    i.e. the FFmpeg build:

    In the past I was building my own FFmpeg variant and included a couple of libs with additional encoders here and there. While this might have seemed to be easy and simple, sometimes this was a nightmare and took me days or even weeks for certain encoders. Some of them I was never able to include at all. I then decided to use another, already existing custom built FFmpeg: https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds - to be more specific: I'm using the FFmpeg 7.0 Win64 Shared LGPL (with patched "-voukoderpro" prefix) variant.

    This enables the following encoders by default (!):

    (Not sure if every single one works though)

    P.S.: I'll fully rely on this build and won't patch in there any more encoders. But somebody else could make alternative (non official) FFmpeg packages too.

  • DaVinci Resolve and "Type" in "Export Video"

    This "Type" setting here defines in what pixel format DaVinci Resolve sends the frame data to VoukoderPro. Voukoder then defines which other format should be used for the encoder. You can have speed improvements if both formats match up.

    But as I think about it ... I could actually automate this and make this a bit more simple.

  • Norton Power Eraser detects Voukoder Pro as malware

    I'm using the official FFmpeg repositories for building the DLLs. Everything is OpenSource. So you could check the sources I am using, but also the FFmpeg sources itself. They are always linked with each build/release. The Norton Utils had a good reputation in the 90s, but nowadays the reputation is rather dubious. Can you verify this with a different tool?

    Zitat

    "Norton Power Eraser is much more aggressive than comparable programs - it may therefore also suspect harmless but unusual software and files on your PC. It is therefore advisable to make a backup before using the program."

  • VoukoderPro 1.2

    Version 1.2.5

    For using NVENC (SDK 12.2) encoders driver version 551.76 or later is required. Using FFmpeg 7.0 / LGPL.

  • VoukoderPro 1.2.3 crashes when testing scene

    Thanks for the input. I will try to reproduce it over the weekend and see if i can't provide a quick fix.

    FYI: If you set the encoder to use a "cuda"-pixel format you first need to upload the frame from the cpu to the gpu memory using the upload filter. But that only makes sense if you to use more or less complex filter chains on the gpu (and not on the cpu). For a standard GPU accelerated workflow you don't need this.
