To be clear, I wasn't necessarily making comparisons, that was not my goal. I was just giving an example, and I used Handbrake. The same thing happens if I encode from DaVinci with any other encoder other than Voukoder. I can crank up the bitrate in all methods to make sure that all encodes produce the highest quality file possible. The Voukoder version is the only one that has a slight blur applied to the edges compared to all other encodes. This doesn't feel right to me.

[…] That makes no difference. I'm using the same exact encoder and settings in Voukoder (uses DaVinci timeline directly) and Handbrake (uses a DNxHR HQX 12-bit master exported by DaVinci), and the Handbrake version is slightly sharper (and more accurate with that I see on DaVinci). I've tripled-checked and all settings and parameters are the same, and I've disabled all Handbrake filters. Maybe the difference is in the FFmpeg version being used by Voukoder and Handbrake?

[…] @Vouk Colour wise, everything is perfect now, thanks. But now I'm noticing that the image is slightly less sharpened (compared to a DNxHR HQX 12-bit export from DaVinci); the difference is subtle, but it is there. I could work around but increasing the sharpness in the editor, but I think the output should be the same, regardless of method of delivery. Especially since if I export a DNxHR HQX master and transcode it with Handbrake, I keep the original sharpness level.

I've just selected my DaVinci render preset, which includes the attached scene. I then added 5 jobs to the render queue, all for the same timeline, just with different file names. File 1 & 2 looked like this: File 3, 4 & 5 like this:

[…] Not all the time, but I observed a few instances where it did. […] Tried both "Video" and "Full", neither solved the issue, the colours are still a bit off.

I've been testing the latest VoukoderPro with DaVinci Resolve (with both libsvtav1 and libx265), and almost everything seems to be working great. 1. To start, I have a simple question. Regardless of the codec I use, I'm always going for yuv420p10le for 10-bit. In DaVinci, you can pick one of multiple options for the "Type" in the render settings, and as you know, most of them say "8-bit", but there's one with "16-bit". I'm assuming I should use the "16-bit" one, however, I've tested them all,…

I can confirm that v2.0.3 works. I've been doing some tests with both x265 and AV1, everything seems to be working all the time. However, I'm having small issues and a few questions that I'll post in a different topic. Thank you, @Vouk .

@Vouk I got the same error within DaVinci but now looking at the logs I got: (Code, 2 lines) Since I haven't been able to actually test this new version during the trail, any chance you can extend my trial licence?

@Vouk DaVinci doesn't seem to crash any more, but I still get the "Codec is not opened yet" message every time (same error on the log files). I've prepared a small project with a small test file, maybe that will help figure out things. All I did was create a project, load the project settings preset I normally use, and add a small test file to a timeline, nothing else. This file comes from the same camera/settings I use most of the time, and it's from the same session of recordings for the…

Here you go, @Vouk . Although I have a feeling, the issue is not on the scene. Based on the logs, it looks like it's not able to connect to FFmpeg/x265, and/or there's something wrong with my source data. But I'm just taking guesses.

It's in the log file but it was "yuv420p10le".

@Vouk I'm having the same issue VoukoderPro v2.0.2 (just installed). Here are my settings: I get the same "Codec is not opened yet" message on the first render attempt, and on the second, DaVinci just crashes/closes. I've attached a log, but the problem is likely here: 2025-01-02 12:27:31 (trace) [FFmpeg:0] Cannot open libx265 encoder. 2025-01-02 12:27:31 (error) [EncoderNode.cpp:342] Opening the encoder plugin failed with error code: -1094995529 Not exactly sure what I've done…

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?
