QuickSync indexer?

Anything related to video and my tools that is not a support request.

Count me in. I just rebuilt my main PC with new components and went from AMD to nVIDIA. HUGE performance boost to my encoding as I do a LOT to put my media on my streaming server so I don't have to constantly change DVDs.

Went from an Intel i7 920 (LGA1366) to an i7 4770K (LGA1150). New MB is a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-HD3 with Intel 4600 on-board video and 16GB RAM. I added an EVGA GeForce GTX 650. Don't have actual numbers, but 1st pass went from ~90 fps to ~140+ fps and 2nd pass from ~17 fps to above 30 fps consistently and seen it as high as 40 fps.

If QuickSync is that much faster from what I'm reading, then it would be great to see an indexer for it too. :)

The newest Nvidia VP6 is comparable to QuickSync for basic decoding and is much faster for deinterlacing.

There is a QuickSync version of DG tools but the indexer is CLI only. Look on my main software page (Mine) for the QuickSYnc version.

Sweet! I'll take a look. I have some encoding going this morning and I took a peak and it happened to be doing pass 1 and it was at ~192 fps. Insane. :) Thank you.

I had a chance to play with this just now and noticed the file inside the DGI file is not fully qualified, i.e.,

Code: Select all

video1.mkv 14183246537
I did a comparison between files created with NV and IM and they're identical so no issues. Will see what the encoder logs show between the two after the encoding is done. I'm using the automatic setting right now (engine=0).

If you want full paths, then change to this in your dgindexim.ini file:

Full_Path_In_Files=1

Cool, thanks. Are the INI entries pretty much the same as DGDecNV?

Yes, but the CUDA-related ones are ignored.

Yep, thanks. So, just for fun, here's what I saw today. Encoding a full HD source (AVC) to MPEG2 DVD via HCEnc 026.
DGDecNV 1st pass:

Code: Select all

pass 1 encoding time:            0:14:01 (840.97 s)
fps:                             128.6
DGDecIM 1st pass:

Code: Select all

pass 1 encoding time:            0:17:55 (1075.25 s)
fps:                             100.6
Pass 2 uses the lossless file provided by HCEnc so I'm not sure if pass 2 is relevant here, but here are the stats anyway.
DGDecNV 2nd pass:

Code: Select all

pass 2 encoding time:            0:10:32 (631.57 s)
fps:                             171.3
DGDecIM 2nd pass:

Code: Select all

pass 2 encoding time:            0:10:38 (638.43 s)
fps:                             169.4
Lossless is on a SSD drive and pass 2 of IM had another process using that drive as well which is why it's a few seconds slower. I had forgotten I had that running on the same drive.
