VAAPI H265 encoding #75

Closed aligirayhanozbay closed 2 years ago

aligirayhanozbay commented 2 years ago

Hi, I'm trying to add support for H265 encoding to work with the VAAPI backend. I have a proof-of-concept complete, but as it stands the output is bad; there is heavy artefacting as seen here. I assume this is due to my settings, so I'd appreciate some input regarding what settings I can choose to fix it. I am running this on an AMD RDNA2 discrete GPU with kernel 5.18.12, VAAPI 1.15.0 and Mesa 22.1.3 on Debian sid.

Unfortunately, I do not have hardware to test out any other H265 encoder types like nvenc. But adding these should not be too difficult.

Additionally, I added support for some extra profiles for CQP for both the h264 and the new h265 encoders.

This patch actually works great. That garbled output is because the mesa version on debian is tool old/has problems. I'm on Nobara (Fedora) with mesa git and just tested it and it works well.

@GloriousEggroll That's good to hear. I guess I can try it on arch with mesa-git from the AUR at some point.

@GloriousEggroll I confirmed on a Nobara live environment that this PR works very well. I am unsure whether using mesa-git or OBS 28 fixes it, but in either case, it seems that the PR indeed works fine.

Works fine on Debian sid on a RX 570. Thanks!

@GloriousEggroll which mesa version did you test this with? I'm on 22.1.4 and I'm getting the same artifacts as @aligirayhanozbay.

I also tried a7e64ab63c5aa0b5c2079badc3ae0d5668c234f8 from today's master and mesa-22.2.0-rc1 but both resulted in h265 not showing VAAPI as an available encoder type and thus not working at all.

6800XT.

Nvm, configuration error on my end: You need to explicitly enable VAAPI codecs using -Dvideo-codecs=vc1dec,h264dec,h264enc,h265dec,h265enc now.

mesa-22.2.0-rc1 works just fine!
