Intel QSV Codecs

[TankBo]

Has anyone found a fix for this? I have 2 laptops that have Intel i series processors with integrated graphics. The laptop that has HD3000 graphics/ Core i5 - 2520M processor I get the following error:

[h264_qsv @ 000000000030ece0]
Error initializing the encoder: invalid video parameters (-15)
Error initializing output stream 0:0 -- Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height
Conversion failed!

when I run the same command on my other laptop that has HD5500 graphics/ Core i7 - 5600U it runs successfully. Here is the command that I'm trying to run:

ffmpeg.exe -y -i "C:\video\test1.ts" -c:v h264_qsv -b:v 3072k -maxrate 4608k -bufsize 6912k -look_ahead 0 -c:a copy -f mp4 "C:\video\1.mp4"


On a side note when I run the benchmark command it runs successfully on both machines and I get around 9x to 10x performance. This is the benchmark command that runs on both machines.

ffmpeg.exe -hwaccel qsv -threads 1 -i "C:\video\test1.ts" -f null - -benchmark

,

for testing... just try this command... from this ( message / forum post ) ... > viewtopic.php?p=12043#p12043 < ... maybe itll work for you...

,

also... for your ( Core i5 - 2520M ) processor... try this REMIX-ed command...

Code: Select all

\ffmpeg.exe -i input_file_itself.mp4 -loglevel debug -pix_fmt nv12 -c:v h264_qsv -async_depth 4 -preset veryslow -bitrate_limit 1 -look_ahead 0 -b:v 3834000 -maxrate 3834000 -bufsize 4474111 -c:a copy -y output_file_itself.mp4

maybe itll work for your ( Core i5 - 2520M ) processor...

I wish that worked, but it didnt...

ok... i have made an CBR command... aka >>> [h264_qsv @ 000000000252ac20] Using the constant bitrate (CBR) ratecontrol method

just copy and paste this command... and run it on your ( Core i5 - 2520M ) processor...

and if any error... show the ERROR ITSELF from FFMPEG ...

,

the command , ( run it on your ( Core i5 - 2520M ) processor ) ,

Code: Select all

\ffmpeg.exe -i input_file_itself.mp4 -loglevel debug -pix_fmt nv12 -c:v h264_qsv -async_depth 4 -avbr_accuracy 0 -avbr_convergence 0 -preset veryslow -vcm 0 -bitrate_limit 1 -cavlc 0 -idr_interval 0 -pic_timing_sei 1 -max_dec_frame_buffering 0 -look_ahead 0 -look_ahead_depth 0 -look_ahead_downsampling off -trellis:v P -profile:v high -b:v 3834000 -g 74 -bf 2 -slices 1 -refs 3 -b_strategy 1 -flags +cgop -a53cc 0 -maxrate 3834000 -bufsize 4474111 -sample_fmt s16p -compression_level 10 -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 224000 -ar 44100 -ac 2 -joint_stereo false -reservoir true -abr false -y output_file_itself.mp4

,

the options that i have changed

Code: Select all

Reading option '-async_depth' ... matched as AVOption 'async_depth' with argument '4'

Reading option '-look_ahead' ... matched as AVOption 'look_ahead' with argument '0'

Reading option '-look_ahead_depth' ... matched as AVOption 'look_ahead_depth' with argument '0'

Reading option '-maxrate' ... matched as AVOption 'maxrate' with argument '3834000'

,

the above ffmpeg command... executes QSV engine... with the following options... aka >>> [h264_qsv @ 000000000252ac20] Using the constant bitrate (CBR) ratecontrol method

just try it... maybe , THIS TIME , itll work for you...

TO >>> TankBo :

hey guess what... i have been thinking about that... your ( Core i5 - 2520M ) processor... is too old for QSV engine...

and here is the interesting part...

-- we should somehow check >>> what RATE CONTROL MODES are supported on your ( Core i5 - 2520M ) processor...

and for doing this... aka > check >>> what RATE CONTROL MODES are supported on your ( Core i5 - 2520M ) processor...

-- you should download an old version of OBS from here > https://github.com/jp9000/OBS/releases/ ... 0_659b.zip < and run it...

ok... here goes... the full and long instruction... on... what you should do with old version of OBS ...

,

-- 1) -- you run an old version of OBS from this directory \OBS_0_659b\64bit\OBS.exe

-- 2) -- go to SETTINGS

-- 3) -- go to ENCODING tab

-- 4) -- inside of ENCODING tab select QUICK SYNC and hit APPLY > ((( !! SORRY !! - !! SCREENSHOT WONT BE PROVIDED !! )))

-- 5) -- go to QUICK SYNC ENCODER tab

-- 6) -- inside of QUICK SYNC ENCODER tab select USE CUSTOM PARAMETERS FOR THE QUICK SYNC ENCODER and hit APPLY > ((( !! SORRY !! - !! SCREENSHOT WONT BE PROVIDED !! )))

-- 7) -- make a screenshot of the QUICK SYNC ENCODER tab > ((( !! SORRY !! - !! SCREENSHOT WONT BE PROVIDED !! )))

-- 8) -- post here ( to this thread ) ... a link to your screenshot... that is... your screenshot of the QUICK SYNC ENCODER tab > ((( !! SORRY !! - !! SCREENSHOT WONT BE PROVIDED !! )))

,

this way we should know... what RATE CONTROL MODES are supported on your ( Core i5 - 2520M ) processor...

and... if the situation goes really ( blEAk ) or ( blACk ) lol... that is... NONE of the RATE CONTROL MODES are available to your ( Core i5 - 2520M ) processor...

then your only option would be... to upgrade your hardware... from ( Core i5 - 2520M ) to something newer...
