+ /Users/algebraist/Downloads/1902GeorgesMlisLeVoyageDansLaLunaTripToTheMoon.mp4 work: only 1 chapter, disabling chapter markers H.265 is not exactly fast for me on a current gen 16 core MacPro, but I'm not using QuickSync either. Hmm I might have to do some more tests using constant quality, to see how it compares to my usual average 2 pass bit rate setup.Įither way I still think 265 encoding for me, is too slow for my system 4790k. I played the videos of both to do a bit of a visual inspection and they seem identical to me (just played the first few minutes of each at the same time on the computer) It is just under half the bit rate and file size for 265 when you compare the two. Now I make note of the bit rates, as I was curious. I queued the file twice, the second time switching it to 265 encoder, but both are using the RF set to 22 I've never had an H.265 file come out larger than H.264. I just did a test: 1080p, AC3, 41 min, RF 22 Though RF values between x264 and x265 aren't 1:1, I treat them as such. It's really nice having everything just show up on an TV when you're in the mood to watch something or for background.

Bitrate in the resulting video is quite variable, check with a bitrate viewer.Ĭan I just say thank you? Handbrake has been a goto tool for me for a lot of years now and I really appreciate the availability of the Mac version, it's made format-shifting my rather large library comparatively painless. Hardware encoders are a separate ASIC, that could be placed on a GPU, so it's not technically "GPU encoding". VideoToolbox supports only average bitrate, so that's all HandBrake can let you change. It's possible to specify which eGPU to use but this function is not implemented yet. VideoToolbox will automatically select the device with better quality/performance, you can check in ioreg the quality rating of each encoder (VTQualityRating, VTRating keys). Hardware decoding is not supported right now. Some info regarding HandBrake (I am the maintainer of the Mac version and the one who added VideoToolbox encoding support): Then, with ls -lT you can see the file's last modified date with second precision and you know exactly how long the encode took. The way I did this was for instance to put 1103 in the file name and click start at 11:03:00.
I'm really interested in hearing about the performance of the different encode options for other hardware, so please do your own testing and post the results. Too bad we're stuck at average bit rate encoding only, otherwise using Handbrake with VideoToolBox would be a no-brainer. One thing to note is that I had some issues encoding an AVI with VTBx, the hardware assisted encoding seems less robust than doing the same in software.Īll very interesting. Turns out that the T2 chip can do H.265 encoding. Yes, the four CPU cores are at 300% utilization, but obviously there's some hardware assist going on. But the ridiculously fast Mac Mini VideoToolBox H.265 video encoding doesn't use the GPU. H.264 VTBx runs on the Intel HD 630 GPU, which performs the same as the 530 one in the MBP.

(Strangely, x265 doesn't seem to use all hyperthreads to their full capacity.) Added benefit: the computer doesn't get very hot and the fans don't spin up, while they run at full blast using x264 or x265. If we can believe the Activity Monitor GPU history, VTBx uses the Intel HD 530 GPU but not the AMD 450 Pro. X264 and x265 run on the CPU, VTBx also still seems CPU-bound, but also makes use of the Intel Iris GPU.Ģ016 MacBook Pro, 2.6 GHz Core i7 (4 cores, 8 threads) Results in seconds.Ģ013 MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Core i5 (2 cores, 4 threads) I really don't like using average bitrate, as it can inflate file sizes unnecessarily, but it was the only option for VideoToolBox encoding. I used Handbrake's Fast 1080p30 preset but with the quality changed to an average bitrate of 1500 kbps.

And everyone should see this 118-year-old movie at least once, too. It has no sound so that doesn't use up additional time. I used Le Voyage Dans la Lun from 1902 for this purpose, because at 11 minutes it's big enough that the start/stop overhead won't dominate but small enough that testing doesn't take forever. So I did some testing, with very interesting results. Turns out that VideoToolBox is an Apple framework for decoding and ecoding video, using hardware features for that purpose when possible. The new thing I noticed are the (VideoToolBox) options. The default encoders in Handbrake for these codex are x264 and x265, respectively. The former is older, faster and more compatible, the latter produces smaller files. The most obvious choices are H.264 and H.265.
When you encode a video, you can select between several encode options. I discovered something interesting in the video encoding app Handbrake today.
