Hi there,

as an official Vegas 23 betatester I can tell you V23 will be out tomorrow, Sept. 9 2025.

Hope for (soon) Voukoder compatibility.

Nice, but using Windows package managers with UnigetUI is next level:

GitHub is your friend !

Hi everyone, here's my libx265 Youtube-oriented 1080p/25fps Voukoder (JSON) preset:

{
"rc": 0,
"crf": 28,
"g": 50,
"bf": 8,
"preset": "veryslow",
"tune": "ssim",
"profile": "main10",
"x265-params": "ctu=64:min-cu-size=8:ref=6:bframes=16:subme=7:merange=57:rc-lookahead=60:qcomp=0.65:aq-mode=3:aq-strength=1.00:psy-rd=2.00:psy-rdoq=2.00:rdoq-level=2:rd=6:vbv-maxrate=4500:vbv-bufsize=4500:strong-intra-smoothing=0:limit-sao=1:no-open-gop=1:keyint=250:gop-lookahead=12:rect=1:amp=1:max-merge=5:tu-intra-depth=4:tu-inter-depth=4:rd-refine=1:high-tier=1"
}

...any suggestion to further improve it ?

I've tried many combinations but seems tha vpp filters (that works flawlessly on QSVEnc on my machines) crashes Voukoder.

How can I provide more infos for debugging ?

Hi everyone,

I'm (still) looking for good Youtube-orinted HEVC encodings parameters for my iGPU (UHD770) and, after playing a bit on available parameters (also exploiting the Copilot + Gemini suggestions), I'm actually using these form my 1080p/25fps sources:

"_strategy": "icq",
"global_quality": 20,
"g": 50,
"bf": 8,
"preset": 1,
"forced_idr": true,
"rdo": 1,
"max_frame_size": 0,
"max_frame_size_i": 0,
"max_frame_size_p": 0,
"max_slice_size": 0,
"mbbrc": 1,
"extbrc": 1,
"p_strategy": 1,
"b_strategy": 1,
"dblk_idc": 1,
"adaptive_i": 1,
"adaptive_b": 1,
"scenario": 3,
"look_ahead_depth": 50,
"profile": 2,
"tile_cols": 1,
"tile_rows": 1,
"recovery_point_sei": 1,
"transform_skip": 1,
"int_ref_cycle_size": 0,
"int_ref_qp_delta": 0,
"int_ref_cycle_dist": 0

Format: p010le

...any opinions/suggestion about ?

EDIT:

Forgot to link this interesting FFMPEG document that explains parameters meaning/settings: hevc_qsv.txt

If your Vegas output is 25p, then why even mention interlacing? Why would Voukoder care what format your raw footage was? All it sees is the Vegas output.

I don't understand what you mean (my project/sources are 50i), anyway I wanna use Voukoder - FFMPEG - deinterlacing algos not Vegas ones.

Zitat von Joe24

Most hardware encoders won't accept interlaced Vegas output.

...that I don't need: I have interlaced INPUT and need progressive output.

Zitat von Joe24

Define "better control of the hardware encoder". Which encoder options, in particular?

Check yourself: https://github.com/rigaya/QSVEnc/…C_Options.en.md

Well, given that the quality of hardware encoding is not (yet) as good as software, there are several advantages in using Rigaya encoders over FFMPEG ones (that's why many - if not all - encoding-suites are adopting them):

- many specifically-optimized filters (nnedi, for example);

- better control of hw encoder;

- deeper documented;

- more fine tuned.

That said, I'm personally very interested in using (Intel) hardware acceleration for filters and/or AVC "lossless" encoding.

Just discovered the cool Lensfun library and the relative FFMPEG filter.

Support for lens correction in Voukoder (Pro ?) would be great.

OK, just retested - with same parameters (deint too) - under vegas 21 and both 13.4.1 classic + 1.7.1 connector / 1.3.0 pro worked flawlessly.

I need to deinterlace 50i content to 25p.

Of course I've tried with other pixel formats with the same result.

Done. It has exactly the same behavior/result...

...maybe it's a Vegas fault ?!?

(note: no a/v fx used on the timeline but just transitions in a multicam edit. Embedded encoders works flawlessly)

EDIT: I just realized I've posted in a wrong section, please move to Voukoder Classic Bug report.

Sorry for the delay, it's a bit busy period for me (I have to publish 2 festival videos - read 11x4-5min live videos, 1 for each band - and a live classical concert - ~130min video - by december)...

...anyway unfortunally I still can't encode using Voucoder (classic) on Vegas 22.

Render starts but immediately reaches 100% without ever finishing and/or generating any output. Anyway it don't crash.

Here's a screenshot:

Voukoder:

Hi there,

latest Vuokoder + Vegas 22 connector encoding don't start at all on my PC.

On the same machine/project works flawlessly on Vegas 21.

What can I do ?

Hi there,

thanks for this great software !

It would be extremely cool to better exploit hardware (GPU) accelerated encoders too.

Rigaya's ones are certainly the most advanced (and updated) on the open source scene:

- QSVEnc (latest release here)

- NVEnc (latest release here)

- VCEEnc (latest release here)

Thanks in advance !
