--vpp-mctf MFXVPP Failed to initalized vpp + features

[SiV44]

Hello @rigaya

When I want to use the --vpp-mctfoption, no matter what the value is set, I always get an error. INFO LOG.txt DEBUG LOG.txt

The second thing are the options IntraRefresh, No Deblock, No GPB (for HEVC PG) and Repeat-PPS.

IntraRefresh was not available before (I compared the --check-features results of one of the earlier versions with the latest one) and here my question is, is this option working and is it possible to add it?

No Deblock is not new but mainly for H.264 encoding, so I would like to know if this option works for HEVC encoding?

No GPB is also nothing new and just like before I would like to know if this option works and can it be added?

The last thing is Repeat-PPS, it doesn't show me this option in the log during encoding, so could this information be missing because it is no longer available for my configuration? and could you add this option to --check-features?

Thank you for your time Regards

—vpp-mctf is unfortunately currently unstable and I’m not being able to find a way to fix it. It’ll be kept as-is.

Please also note that not all options will be checked by check-features and also not all values in check-features wil be exposed as an option.

I might add option for intra-refresh and repeat pps later.

I’m not sure NoGPB is worth adding new option, as it make only slight difference in size and quality.

Now I will know to skip this option.

OK, thank you.

Would be great. By the way, could you also add information to the log about the use of --atc-sei in the VUI section?

Thank you for your time and all the information. Regards

New options are added in QSVEnc 7.21, please have a check with the release information.

Thanks for adding new options. Log contains new information, except for --intra-refresh-cycle, but encoding was successful.
