  RE: Building a new video editing computer
  @eikira Any specific reason why you chose Intel? Because of iGPU? That's part of it. For clip formats that benefit significantly from accelerated decoding, like hevc and av1. Also got my eye on avx512 which could have a dramatic impact on all cpu

  RE: Render through GPU/Not Render through GPU?
  @Rednroll There's a Render Quality table, via my signature, of different codecs used, some used Cpu, others Qsv, Nvenc, Vce, and ffmpeg which is similar to Voukdoer in result. Cuda also. I've even included an AV1 codec. Most codecs can be used, not

  RE: VHS C tape to Vegas
  For digitizing VHS-C you need: 1. A still working VCR-player. 2. A VHS-C cassette adapter. 3. An AV-DV converter or a Digital Camcorder with Analogue inputs and DV-out. 4. A firewire (DV) input at your pc. (not standard anymore nowadays). 5. Time

  RE: new CPU i9-10900K or AMD Ryzen9 5900X?
  The i9-10900K has the same uhd630 igpu as the 9900k that I have which will get you a decoding advantage over a 5900x if the video on your timeline is hardware decoder friendly and decoding intensive. Makes the biggest difference working with hevc

  RE: NVIDIA RTX3070
  I don't see much camera gear that would use AV1 as acquisition format.. Maybe. DaVinci Resolve must think there’s something to it though as it’s now added to their latest build. I.e. Support for decoding AV1 clips on Windows. Accelerated AV1 decodes

  RE: BMD adds HEVC 422 hardware decoding for Intel (+482 update)
  I agree this is confusing. I checked a few sites before sharing this link- I do not believe that's 4:2:2 or it would say so. The updates here only state what is new compared to the previous version.So in 3 generations it goes from 10 bit 4:2:0 to 10

  RE: FFMetrics -- Yet another program for quality metrics calculation
  This looks like what I'm getting when analyzing your files through the AviSynth wrappers: The situation is almost the same if I use AV1.mp4, AVC.mp4 and VP9.avs: So yes, the file encoded with VP9 have better metrics. P.S. I tried to use FFMpeg

  @JN- Thanks, I corrected that. Now I can see that the AV1 at it's small size isn't necessarily better quality, although I've heard it is. File size is much better rate controlled with the AV1 and VP9, if you post a black screen you'll have small

  RE: FFMetrics -- Yet another program for quality metrics calculation
  @lenard Looking at the files mediainfo, I think that the naming of the files is incorrect. The AV1 named file is avc x264 and the AVC named file is AV1. Even so, the data rates and file sizes aren't similar. Also the original is needed to compare

  RE: FFMetrics -- Yet another program for quality metrics calculation
  I compared 1080P YT versions, AV1,VP9 and AVC. The comparisons are made against AV1 with the belief it should be highest quality based on file size and codec. Can you see why VP9 does so poorly in the comparison, to my eyes when viewing the videos I
