Nvidia vs Intel

I tried to compare NVEnc vs QSVEnc on H.265 quality, I surprised that QSVEnc provide better overall quality when encoding speed a bit slow when using best and archive options.

How about AMD VCE?

I have no plan to add as no available hardware at the moment, but you can add by your self by using Rigaya VCEEnc and refer bundled Rigaya NVEnc and QSVEnc for json file.

CPU

however, CPU encoding still give better quality at low bit rate, this what most video "archive" choose, and modern latest CPU like Intel 14th Gen, Ryzen 9000 series give over >100fps on medium and >50fps on veryslow preset on x265 1080p encoding.

8.3.8 ( -KIZUGUCHI- )

Change Log (quick fix)

[Fixed] Parser input output CSP

Previous Release 8.3.7

[New] Add Rigaya Intel Quick Sync Hardware Encoder (h264, hevc, av1)
[Fixed] FFmpeg Metadata file must be at index 0
[Fixed] Clear encoder args when user change encoder after selecting Profile
[Fixed] Slow encoding performance on Rigaya NVEnc when pipe from FFmpeg, now Rigaya NVEnc decode and encode (no pipe)
[Fixed] Improve GUI responsive
[Update] Improve performance on removing items
[Update] Rigaya NVEnc to 7.64

Note

Last week I bought a Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (PHN16-72-76R1) during Acer Day to replace my 14 years old Acer Aspire Timeline 4820 laptop, got me thinking since this laptop has Intel iGPU along side Nvidia RTX 4060, why not I add support Rigaya QSVEnc into IFME. So I did.

Intel Core i7 14700HX iGPU lacks of AV1 encoder support, so I tested only H.264 and H.265 and I hope AV1 will work on your machine.

Also, RTX 4060 Laptop GPU have AV1 support, thus I test it aswell.

8.3.6 (Enduring Fortitude)

Change Log

[Fixed] GUI crashed when trying to display settings due to race condition between threads

Note

Release is Windows only for now, the main application is code to cross-platform in mind, for Linux use, please replace the Plugins folder with Linux compiled binary and run with Mono Runtime.

With this version, Linux users can utilize FFmpeg, MP4Box, x265, and other tools in the system PATH. The plug-in JSON file only needs to include the encoder_name, and IFME will check and use it if it exists.

If anyone can help me compile a static Linux FFmpeg with non-free encoders, please let me know the proper compilation steps. At the very least, having a properly compiled basic version of FFmpeg for Linux with PATH support would be appreciated.
