Nvidia preset:
Have you tried different presets? i.e. -c:v nvenc -preset llhq. Presets are
hq = high quality (I think libnvenc uses this)
hp = high performance
bd = Bluray Disk
ll = low latency
llhq = low latency high quality
llhp = low latency high performance
default = between llhq and llhp, I suppose it's same as ll
鉴于x264的参数众多,各种参数的配合复杂,为了使用者方便,x264建议如无特别需要可使用preset和tune设置。这套开发者推荐的参数较为合理,可在此基础上在调整一些具体参数以符合自己需要,手动设定的参数会覆盖preset和tune里的参数。
--preset的参数主要调节编码速度和质量的平衡,有ultrafast、superfast、veryfast、faster、fast、medium、slow、slower、veryslow、placebo这10个选项,从快到慢。
Nvidia编码对应preset选项有:hq, hp, bd, ll, llhq, llhp, default
--tune的参数主要配合视频类型和视觉优化的参数,或特别的情况。如果视频的内容符合其中一个可用的调整值又或者有其中需要,则可以使用此选项,否则建议不使用(如tune grain是为高比特率的编码而设计的)。
tune的值有: film: 电影、真人类型;
animation: 动画;
grain: 需要保留大量的grain时用;
stillimage: 静态图像编码时使用;
psnr: 为提高psnr做了优化的参数;
ssim: 为提高ssim做了优化的参数;
fastdecode: 可以快速解码的参数;
zerolatency:零延迟,用在需要非常低的延迟的情况下,比如电视电话会议的编码。
