H264 --level parameter broken in 5.09 - 5.11 #270

Closed SK-Hardwired closed 4 years ago

SK-Hardwired commented 4 years ago

Hi! When specifying any --level parameter with h264 encoder error happen:

nvenc : Failed to Initialize the encoder nvenc : .: 8 (NVENC indicates that one or more of the parameter passed to the API call is invalid.)

I don't seem to have trouble here with my tests, for example,

x64\NVEncC64_5.15.exe -i sample_movie_1080p.mpg -o F:\temp\test.mp4 -d 1 --level 4.1

Would you share me the exact command line option, and the resolution of the video you're trying?

SK-Hardwired commented 4 years ago

Thank you for reply. I have 456.55 ver Nvidia Driver. Rebooted. Made delete NvencC and unzip again from recent build 5.15

String:

D:\3D Tools\NvencC>NVEncC64.exe --avhw -c h264 --profile high --vbrhq 25000k --audio-copy -u P7 --strict-gop --lookahead 32 --aq --aq-temporal -i "D:\Video Projects\mp4 G5 source\[2K]126_Colorful_Umbrella.mp4" -o "D:\Video Projects\mp4 G5 source\[2K]126_Colorful_Umbrella.m2ts" --level 4.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D:\Video Projects\mp4 G5 source\[2K]126_Colorful_Umbrella.m2ts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nvenc : Failed to Initialize the encoder
nvenc : .: 8 (NVENC indicates that one or more of the parameter passed to the API call is invalid.)

Tried to simplify sting to match your example:

D:\3D Tools\NvencC>NVEncC64.exe -i "D:\Video Projects\mp4 G5 source\[2K]126_Colorful_Umbrella.mp4" -o "D:\Video Projects\mp4 G5 source\[2K]126_Colorful_Umbrella.m2ts" --level 4.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D:\Video Projects\mp4 G5 source\[2K]126_Colorful_Umbrella.m2ts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nvenc : Failed to Initialize the encoder
nvenc : .: 8 (NVENC indicates that one or more of the parameter passed to the API call is invalid.)

What am I doing wrong?

If not specify --level parameter, even complicated strings work fine (except of produce stream not that level I want):

D:\3D Tools\NvencC>NVEncC64.exe --avhw -c h264 --profile high --vbrhq 25000k --audio-copy -u P7 --strict-gop --lookahead 32 --aq --aq-temporal -i "D:\Video Projects\mp4 G5 source\[2K]126_Colorful_Umbrella.mp4" -o "D:\Video Projects\mp4 G5 source\[2K]126_Colorful_Umbrella.m2ts"

After all I guess that this may be due to changes in recent Nvidia drivers versions. Sorry, can't roll back to 451.xx version, this will be complicated.

Note this in you command line. --aq --aq-temporal The double --aq is likely your problem.

rigaya commented 4 years ago

Would you please try --level 4.2? 1080p 60fps requires H.264 level 4.2, and is not supported by H.264 level 4.1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Video_Coding#Levels

With 1080p 60fps, H.264 level 4.1 will crush (this is expected).

x64\NVEncC64.exe -i Cat-1920x1080@60fpsRef4.m2ts -o F:\temp\test.mp4 --level 4.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F:\temp\test.mp4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nvenc : Failed to Initialize the encoder
nvenc : .: 8 (NVENC indicates that one or more of the parameter passed to the API call is invalid.)

But with H.264 level 4.2, it shall be fine.

Dear @rigaya ,

So simple! I forgot about these different levels' restrictions. :( My bad. --level 4.2 and higher work fine.

Interesting, nor NvencC nor ffmpeg display any simple to understand warning/explanation why some level settings can fail on some files. That's confusing.

Now it's clear
