VVC (H.266) codec support

[phanluchoaofficial1152]

Description of the feature or enhancement you'd like to see in HandBrake

Hello,

As I see, ffmpeg has started final steps for adding VVCEnc to ffmpeg but now I see another one they have already added and publish to Github (https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/VVCEasy/blob/master/WindowsVVC/WindowsVVC.7z - https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/VVCEasy) - this is a modifed ffmpeg which added VVC encoder on that. Can you give a look with this and add this to newer version ?

Thanks!

What Operating System are you running?

Windows 11

What version of HandBrake are you running?

1.6.1

Where did you download HandBrake from?

Handbrake.fr , Github

I think it would be better to wait until there is an official decoder in FFmpeg, and a way to mux it to mp4 and mkv. Anyway, patches are welcomed.

At the moment there are two different attempts for VVC into FFmpeg.

1. Via this integrated one https://github.com/ffvvc/FFmpeg
2. Via the external library VVdeC / VVenC (http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2023-January/305271.html)

Not sure what the status is for both methods. I've tried already to build HandBrake with the first method to enable it to decode VVC files. But the most tricky part was to find good VVC sample files to test it. The few ones I found could not even recognized with my patched Handbrake. So I also think its saver to wait until FFmpeg has finished their work and implemented the encoder/decoder.

Thanks, I still wait for new update with this new codec. As I see, in FastFlix they have already support this codec by change the ffmpeg path to vvc ffmpeg have been added before by another one and it still work

HandBrake is not FastFlix. Nor does HandBrake use ffmpeg.exe

Once official decoders / encoders mature to the point of being practical and meet our requirements, we can look into getting it into HandBrake. This can take time, often years, as we've seen with past codecs. Just because something is available now, doesn't make it suitable for HandBrake.

Please be patient.

We can leave it open. Any future updates on this topic will be posted here as/when it becomes available.

By the way, this is now the case for mp4, preliminary. It still needs a lot of polishing. Will be available with FFmpeg 7.0.

FFmpeg 7.0.0 is out !

[Nomis101]

HandBrake 1.8.0 will have first VVC decoding support. It will probably take some time for FFmpeg to polish and complete that support. I do not expect to see encoding support anytime soon.
