- Issue Observed
Experiments:
1. Inspected GPUView of failing case, low activities of copy/media engine are seen. Need to figure out why do copy numbers so low.
Failing case: Intel B580
Working case: Intel A770
2. Inspected Voukuder log of working (Voukuder 13.4.1) and failing case (Voukuder Pro 2.0.14), in failing case, FFmpeg input per second (3 fps) at the very beginning is much less than that (47 fps) in working case, which could explain low copy numbers I observed in GPUView.
Working Voukuder log: 1M20S Effect Video 420_6.txt
Failing Voukuder log: 025-08-28_00-41-42.txt
3. Tried FFmpeg hardware acceleration transcode on Intel BMG with the arguments in Voukuder Pro 2.0.14, transcode works fine with average 42 fps
FFmpeg command line is as follows:
ffmpeg -hwaccel qsv -hwaccel_output_format qsv -i "C:\Users\Local_Admin\Downloads\LenovoTestCase\Premier_420\PR_YUV420\Copied_Pr_YUV420\C0232.MP4" -vf "vpp_qsv=framerate=60,scale_qsv=w=3840:h=2160:format=nv12,hwdownload,format=nv12" -c:v av1_qsv -pix_fmt nv12 -time_base 1/60 -aspect 1:1 -global_quality 25 -q:v 1 -g 12 -bf 0 -c:a aac output.mp4
Between the arguments in Voukuder Pro 2.0.14 and those in Voukuder 13.4.1, there's no big difference:
ffmpeg -hwaccel qsv -hwaccel_output_format qsv -i "C:\Users\Local_Admin\Downloads\LenovoTestCase\Premier_420\PR_YUV420\Copied_Pr_YUV420\C0232.MP4" -vf "vpp_qsv=framerate=60,scale_qsv=w=3840:h=2160:format=nv12,hwdownload,format=nv12" -c:v av1_qsv -profile:v unknown -preset veryfast -pix_fmt nv12 -time_base 1/60 -aspect 1:1 -global_quality 25 -q:v 1 -g 12 -bf 0 -c:a aac output.mp4
Therefore, I don't think this is not simply BMG issue.
Questions:
Could you compare the Intel QSV AV1 codec arguments between Pro version 2.0.14 and version 13.4.1?
