No strong opinion here, I hadn't realized that -crf 0 only works with
newer versions.
Can you explain why crf alone has no effect and needs -b:v 0?
Isn't this a bug both with libvpx and libaom?
With crf present but VBV params absent, VPX operates using a constrained
Q RC mode , where the target bitrate acts as a ceiling. Since acvodec
has a non-zero default -b of 200 kbps, this produces undesirable
effects. If set to 0, VPX switches to constant quality.
Yes.
This looks like a bug to me.
If there's a bug, it's in libav, in that, we can't signal when a value
is assigned by the user or via user-initiated logic, versus being
assigned as a default fallback. So it's a design conflict, and the
workaround has been long documented.
Maybe just before the next major bump, a new field should be introduced
in AVOptions which registers if the field was populated at the behest of
the user.
I do see this block though,
if (avctx->codec_id == AV_CODEC_ID_VP9 && ctx->lossless == 1) {
enccfg.rc_min_quantizer =
enccfg.rc_max_quantizer = 0;
} else {
if (avctx->qmin >= 0)
enccfg.rc_min_quantizer = avctx->qmin;
if (avctx->qmax >= 0)
enccfg.rc_max_quantizer = avctx->qmax;
}
Looks like the quantizer range is disabled only by using the deprecated
option, or has this changed?
Is your question "Isn't 'lossless 1' necessary for lossless encoding"?
Yes. A quick glance at vpx HEAD indicates it is, although -qmin & -qmax
0 should also work.
Also, with libvpx v1.7.0-1758, I get different results for -crf 0 -b:v
0 vs only -lossless 1, with the latter producing a slightly larger
file, and its result showing a slightly larger SSIM score. Although
neither produces a SSIM of 1, like libx264. Not truly lossless?
Please provide your input sample.
I can reproduce the difference in result with
fate-suite/h264-conformance/src19td.IBP.264
although the `-lossless 1` encoding does return as lossless in SSIM.
