Description

Summary of the bug:
How to reproduce:

Goal: to enable scenecut (IFR frames at scene changes)
Solution: add option -rc-lookahead 59 (cannot find other means)

So, max surfaces number seems to be 64 (documented by ffmpeg -h encoder=hevc_nvenc) but then it is nonetheless apparently increased to 65 (???)

Also, if I set -surfaces 64 -rc-lookahead 100 then the message before Clipping lookahead depth... becomes Defined rc_lookahead requires more surfaces, increasing used surfaces 64 -> 165.

If I set -surfaces 64 -rc-lookahead 58 then there is no warning message about surfaces or lookahead clipping.

From "NVIDIA VIDEO CODEC SDK - ENCODER Programming Guide",

The number of frames to be looked ahead should be set in NV_ENC_INITIALIZE_PARAMS::encodeconfig->rcParams.lookaheadDepth which can be up to 32.

From nvEncodeAPI.h:

    uint16_t                        lookaheadDepth;                              /**< [in]: Maximum depth of lookahead with range 0-(31 - number of B frames).
                                                                                            lookaheadDepth is only used if enableLookahead=1.*/

You don't need a super large lookahead to enable scenecut. -rc-lookahead 1 works for scenecut. You can verify it by a super large gop size, for example,

ffmpeg -hwaccel cuda -i ~/video/cctv.mp4 -an -c:v hevc_nvenc -rc-lookahead 1 -b:v 3M -t 60 -g 2500 /tmp/test.mp4

Replying to quinkblack:

Thank you, much appreciated.

I believe I should leave this ticket open since the warning messages are at least inconsistent.

comment:4 by quinkblack, 16 months ago

For encoders, different parameters can affect each other. It's not straight forward to figure it out. Encoding is complex by itself, I won't take much time on this unless there is a serious issue. Good luck.

Replying to quinkblack:
It seems to me that hevc_nvenc scenecut detection is rather shallow.
I mean, very hard cuts are rendered as key frames, but a scene cut involving adiacent frames having similar colors is not (even if the pictures are completely different in terms of Mean Square Error).
Do you happen to know if it can be made more sensitive?
Could option -b_ref_mode 0 interfere with scenecut detection?

I don't know how to set scenecut threshold for nvenc, but you can set frmae->pict_type and implement scenecut your self.
