av1an + rav1e parameters in Windows

[hl2guide]

OS: Windows 10

Installed Software:

• av1an 6.1.5 (pip)
• VapourSynth R53
• ffmpeg version 2021-06-02-git-071930de72-essentials (all three binaries)
• rav1e 0.4.1

when i run this command:

av1an -i "C:\Temp\TESTING.mp4" -enc rav1e -o "C:\Temp\TESTING out.mp4"

I get:

WARNING: Invalid params:
'--no-scene-detection' isn't a valid param for rav1e. Did you mean '--reconstruction'?
To continue anyway, run Av1an with --force

@hl2guide --no-scene-detection is new parameter for rav1e. If you're using stable/old build - it haven't been added yet. You can use latest rav1e git build Or add -v " --tiles 8 --speed 6 --quantizer 100 " to your command line to use settings without it

[hl2guide]

Are you reffering to a "Weekly pre-release" of rav1e?

What version of rav1e should I look for?

Are you reffering to a "Weekly pre-release" of rav1e?

I usually just compile from current git.

What version of rav1e should I look for?

Any version, like current stable 0.4 is totally fine

Now after running: av1an -i "C:\Temp\TESTING.mp4" -enc rav1e -v " --tiles 8 --speed 6 --quantizer 100 " --target_quality 98 -o "C:\Temp\TESTING out.mp4"

I get:

You have ffmpeg built with vmaf 2.X. You need to specify the vmaf model file and use their new json files. You can get them at the vmaf github under models https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf/tree/master/model vmaf_v0.6.1.json is the equivalent that everyone's been using by default. You can specify that file with --vmaf_path vmaf_v0.6.1.json

[hl2guide]

Now From: av1an.exe -i "C:\Temp\TESTING.mp4" -enc rav1e -v " --tiles 8 --speed 6 --quantizer 100 " --target_quality 98 --vmaf_path vmaf_v0.6.1.json -o "C:\Temp\TESTING out.mp4"

I get:

Chunk #119 crashed
::Exception: <class 'RuntimeError'> Error in processing encoding pipe
::Restarting chunk
::FATAL

I hope that you get this app ready for production at some point but at this point I can't help but come to the conclusion that it's not.

Please improve the documentation/readme for normies like me.
