I fully agree.

(Biplanar or semi-planar means the pixel data is stored in two planes - The first contains the Y data and the second contains the interleaved UV data).

Normally you just use "bitrate" based settings if you aim for a specific file size (i.e. the file has to fit on a DVD or USB drive). If you don't care about the file size (like you want to upload the file to YouTube or similar) you are using quantizer (~ quality) based rate control mechanisms like CRF or CQ(P).

Just noticed adobe released the 2022 SDK with a bunch of new pixel formats:

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FIELD_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_709 = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('p', '0', 'i', '0'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FRAME_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_709 = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('p', '0', '1', '0'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FIELD_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_709_FullRange = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('p', '0', 'i', 'f'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FRAME_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_709_FullRange = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('p', '0', '1', 'f'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FIELD_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_2020 = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('P', '0', 'i', '0'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FRAME_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_2020 = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('P', '0', '1', '0'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FIELD_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_2020_FullRange = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('P', '0', 'i', 'f'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FRAME_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_2020_FullRange = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('P', '0', '1', 'f'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FIELD_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_2020_HDR = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('P', 'O', 'i', '0'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FRAME_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_2020_HDR = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('P', 'O', '1', '0'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FIELD_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_2020_HDR_FullRange = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('P', 'O', 'i', 'f'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FRAME_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_2020_HDR_FullRange = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('P', 'O', '1', 'f'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FIELD_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_2020_HDR_HLG = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('P', 'h', 'l', '0'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FRAME_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_2020_HDR_HLG = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('P', 'H', 'L', '0'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FIELD_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_2020_HDR_HLG_FullRange = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('P', 'h', 'l', 'f'),

PrPixelFormat_YUV_420_MPEG4_FRAME_PICTURE_BIPLANAR_10u_as16u_2020_HDR_HLG_FullRange = MAKE_PIXEL_FORMAT_FOURCC('P', 'H', 'L', 'f'),

Although the renderer returned an error when I tried to use the HLG format.

First, are you using the free version of DVR or the Studio version? The free version does not support external plugins.

From what I've read these formats only work with effects, not with output plugins.

Please provide a voukoder logfile.

[14:25:10] Interlaced:      Top first

Interlaced encoding is not supported by the RTX series anymore. You might want to deinterlace first.

Please send a voukoder logfile (see the sticks topic in this forum on how to get it).

I agree. That doesn't sound like an voukoder issue.

The link should be working now.

10.1 is a hot fix. Its just fixing one major issue.

Normally the voukoder dialog will be opened with the currently selected preset.

Yes, in DVR you can't store presets AFAIK. But I guess you also want to save / preselect your favorite nvenc options/settings, right? And if we can do this with the video encoder we should be able to do this with audio too. Just like with the output settings. Seems we talking about a preset manager now ...

Thanks for pointing this out. Made the fix available to the public.

Voukoder 10.1

Make sure you are using the latest connector for your application(s). For using NVENC (SDK 9.1) encoders driver version 436.15 or later is required.

Can you try if this version fixes it?

https://d.voukoder.org/voukoder-10.1rc1.msi

If not please send me the voukoder logfile with low level debugging enabled.

Does it work if you set it to "on"?

What did you select here?

Yes, it is LAME.

Did you try to disable the video track? It's been supported for years now.

It's been changed in both versions now and available in the download section.

Can you try this connector and see if its working? https://d.voukoder.org/vegas18-connector-0.9.12.msi

Please provide feedback.
