Thanks for the hardware tip. Are those specs for an ASRock Taichi PC?

As for the software piece of this, since I do not have my new computer assembled yet and only recently purchased an upgrade for Vegas I was also just wondering where you actually set the encoding option for QSV and NVENC, since I've never seen it before. Thankfully I found this screenshot in another thread posted by @Cornico



It looks pretty straightforward, however I was also expecting something to where you could configure which hardware to run on, say in the case there you had more than one graphics card, or even two cpus in a dual socket setup. When you choose QSV or NVENC how does it know which hardware to choose, and could you tell it to use one card or chip versus another?

Thanks,
Josh

This is the other thread that I got that screenshot from, just for reference: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/comparison-between-custom-magix-avc-qsv-and-nvenc-renders--109240/

No, the data I gave were from an ASRock Z170 Extreme 6 with an i7-6700k @ 4.5GHz.

I had problems with that system, so I build up a new one based on the i7-8700k even though I did not expect a high performance improvement. And that is, what I found in the last days confirmed. I’m running the i7-8700k on the normal clock without overclocking and get an improvement of about 13% für UHDp30 Intel HEVC rendering and equal preview behavior with UHDp50 footage in a UHDp50 Vp15 project. May be, these is some more to get with OC.

So from my view it would not make a lot of sense to switch from a stable running i7-6700k system to an i7-8700k.

I was also just wondering where you actually set the encoding option for QSV and NVENC, since I've never seen it before.

These options show up in the new Vp15 MAGIX AVC/AAC encoder when the hardware is detected. For the Intel HEVC encoder, that I use mostly, there is currently no user option.

Hi

What is the situation with this as I still can't render 10bit Intel HEVC on Vegas 15 build 311. Same error as before, "The reason for the error could not be determined", 8bit works okay, I can also use other software to render Intel HEVC using QuickSync just fine at 10bit.

It's not the source material as just starting an empty project and dropping on a Media clip it doesn't work.

I read they are working on Vegas 16 now, well shouldn't they get 15 working first and give us the patches, or will I have to pay for 16 now to 10bit rendering working, when I bought 15 for 10bit. Well the answer to that is Magix will never ever get any more of money, this is the last Vegas version I buy, and Vegas 365, presumably thats the number of show stopping bugs it will have, I will never subscribe to.

Regards

Phil

@phil-d Please discuss that here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vp14-build-244-bug-10-bit-hevc-renders-1920x1080-to-1920x1088--106208/#ca657598

To be honest I don't see the point of discussing it anywhere, Magix are worse than Sony, bugs after bugs after bugs. Advertised features to get you to upgrade that just don't work, all they care about is version 16/365 now and trying to make some more revenue by selling the same old broken software and recouping the costs of buying it from Sony, why did they bother?

I'm pursuing a refund and charge back via the credit company now, the whole state of Vegas is depressing, no software should be as bad as this in 2018, I guess that's the problem, the majority of it was written circa 2000.

Sorry completely frustrated again with Vegas.

Regards

Phil

Don’t despair phil-d, apparently Nvidia nvenc hevc hardware encoding was promised by hegla as a ver 15 update. So that might be an eventual way forward😀.

Perhaps it’ll come also when Amd hardware support is implemented.

The release notes for VEGAS Pro 15 Update 5 (build 361) state:

"Resolved a conflict between QSV and 10-bit HEVC file renders on i7-7700/i7-8700 systems"

Can't test it myself, but i7-7700/i7-8700 owners might care to test it and see if accelerated 10-bit Intel HEVC renders are now possible.

Yes this is now working with QSV-speed.
