Hi, i'm trying to get working QVBR on Windows with Intel 7 Generation Kabylake (i7 7700)

But when i try it says dont supported, why? (error -3 don't supported)

I need the QVBR couse its better than CQP

Any pre production drivers supporting this feature (HEVC QVBR) for my processor?

I have installed latest drivers August from Intel website Support, my Windows are Windows 10 Pro x64 19.03

I downloaded latest Media SDK 2019R1 and it says this news:

What's New!

New product features: • HEVC encode supports QVBR and HDR SEI • Fixed AVC encode error on values of mfxExtCodingOption2::NumMbPerSlice • Windows dispatcher and samples upstreamed

There are two h264 files that the sample_decoder cannot decode. Does media sdk support these files? Thanks!

Hi!

We have a problem. We need to set a custom bitrate using qsv and ffmpeg..

But the SDK forces the bitrate to the minimal value, even if we set  BitrateLimit = MFX_CODINGOPTION_OFF as per the other forum posts:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-media-sdk/topic/404650 and other posts.

We set Birate equal to 100kbps before the initialization. Further, we write the part of structures after they are filled by MediaSdk(after the call of MFXVideoDECODE_Init)
We use ffmpeg 4.1 in the project. Mae be, we need to set some additional options? Can you help us?

We need to be able to override the minimum bitratre enforced by qsv to set our own forced bitrate. We have tried with CBR and VBR but it is not working like its supposed to. See below.

hi,

I'm trying to run sample_decode or sample_encoder on Linux Ubuntu 19.04 (the same problem happened on version 17 and 18)

I downloaded and compiled libva libva-utils media_drivers and gmmlib

then I Succesful compiled the msdk (Intel Media SDK)

but when I try to run the samples I get errors that libmfx can't be open although it is in the same directory

"sample_decode: error while loading shared libraries: libmfx.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i inte
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel

any Idea what went wrong?

Hi,

Currently I'm working for an application, where it does both decoding as well as encoding. Decoding is working fine.

In Encoding, after intialization, querySurfaces and encoderInit is done.

I'm trying to call "MFXVideoENCODE_EncodeFrameAsync" to encode each frame.

For for the first time, I observed the SyncPoint holds appropriate value which acts as an out-parameter for "EncodeFrameAsync" API.

After that in-order to Synchronize called ("MFXVideoCORE_SyncOperation API), to wait until encoded frame is ready, where I observed the status as "MFX_ERR_GPU_HANG(-21)" .

For the sub-sequent frames I observed the status as "MFX_ERR_GPU_HANG(-21)" from "EncodeFrameAsync" API. So I'm unable to perform sync operation.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Details :

CodecType : MPEG2

Enviroment : Linux

Media SDK version : 1.28

SoC: N3350
OS: Ubuntu 18.04

We can add gstreamer-MediaSDK plugin into gstreamer-1.0, and see 16 elements using command "gst-inspect-1.0 | grep mfx".
16 elements listed below:

ubuntu@LR29b5-DevHost-ApolloLake:~$ gst-inspect-1.0 | grep mfx
mfx: mfxh264dec: MFX H264 decoder
mfx: mfxhevcdec: MFX HEVC decoder

Although we're able to build the gstreamer-msdk, but find error in using mfx elements.
For example, with command "gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=/home/ubuntu/video_files/What-is-XenDesktop_H264_AAC.mp4 ! qtdemux ! h264parse ! mfxh264dec ! fpsdisplaysink video-sink=mfxsink" comes error below:

Does anyone find the same problem? How to fix it? Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Hi,

I have successfully created a transcoding pipeline using FFmpeg + Media-SDK. My UDP input stream comes in as either MPEG2 or H264 and I transcode the stream to H264. I'm also using VPPs before encoding to deinterlace, re-scale and frame rate convert the input to two different output profiles, 1280x720 and 850x480, both at 30fps. The only issue I'm having right now is avsync when I have dropped frames in the input.

My expectation was that the encoder would generate timestamps (PTS/DTS) according to the input frame given to the encoder, but that is not what I'm seeing when frames are dropped:

The "From encoder" line is duplicated because we output 2 different profiles. The timing information is in 1/framerate timebase (30fps both in and out) so it's essentially counting frames.

The more dropped frames I get the more my output timing is shifted in regards to the input. I was expecting the encoder to follow whatever timing information is provided to it. Maybe FFmpeg is doing something with the PTS/DTSs before calling MFXVideoENCODE_EncodeFrameAsync ?

Is this an expected behavior and I have to deal with avsync some other way ? By also dropping audio frames and adjusting its PTS/DTS accordingly ? 

Appreciate any advice given.

Regards.

Here are the NV12 files i am using as samples and the par files if anyone can test on there own system I have also included a text file with the command line for samples_vpp.

I have saved the two outputs for quick reference as to what my outputs are doing from 8 surfaces then 9 surfaces

Thanks

Hi

i am trying to update intel media sdk from 2018 R2 to 2019 R1.  Notice that the file libmfxsw64.dll  size change from

version 8.0.0.053   21.1 MB  to  version 9.0.0.025  7.81 MB

I install SDK via MediaSDK2019R1.exe downloaded from intel media sdk website.   Is the new file version 9.0.0.025  correct size? 

thank you

How to select the specified Graphic Adapter to encode when with multi intel Graphic Adaters?

I'm working on a realtime streaming application which is to encode to MPEG2/h264/h265.

For the muxer to work best it needs to calculate PTS/DTS and initial arrival and final arrival values. And correct those when needed based of initial cpb removal delay (of NAL)+ offset.

Is there a way to access the values associated with the frame somewhere from mfxBitstream, outside of parsing the output bitstream itself?

There is a computer that MFXVideoCORE_SyncOperation returns MFX_ERR_ABORTED in our encoding application. This computer used to work fine before, but now returns an error after a Windows update. No error is returned on other computers in the same application.
When the Intel Media SDK sample program(sample_encode.exe) is executed, MFX_ERR_DEVICE_FAILED is returned if VPP is not executed, and MFX_ERR_UNKNOWN is returned if VPP is executed. The driver is up to date. Executing the sample program on other computers does not return such errors.
Our application uses VPP.
What is the cause of this error? Is there a workaround?

I set VideoEncodingParameters.maxBitrate to 8500kbps, not work. 

I saw the remote video is not very clear.

But phone's upload speed was only 120kbps.

Is there any api to change sending speed to improve the quality of video?

Hi, i'm about to upgrade my i7 7700 to a 9th generation core i5 9400 but before i make a purchase i need to ear from intel what features of HEVC encofing are available.

I'm about to buy the i5 9400 with Intel Graphics UHD 630, what new features have in this processor for HEVC Encoding?

Someone can run rigaya QSVEncc to check available features of this processor?

Hello,

I am using Windows 7 PC with 4770 GPU.

Also sample code of intel is working fine, takes gpu Properly.

I used sample code of ffmpeg 4.2v for hardware encoding.

 h264_qsv encoder is working fine and encoding takes GPU Power in sample application. 

But When I apply same code on my dialog  based mfc application this encoder takes software power only.

Can Any one help me how can we swich back to HW mode from SW Mode.

Thanking You,

Dhrumil

Hello,

Operating System : Windows 7

Hardware : i7 - 4770

ffmpeg sample code for hardware encoding is running fine.

But when I merge this code in my application h264_qsv takes only CPU power. It didn't use GPU.

Please help.

Thank You,

Dhrumil
