This version was originally tagged and released on the date below. These notes were added on GitHub much later so the creation date won't match.

Saturday, December 15, 2018

  • Add an --encoder option to transcode-video so --encoder x265 will work the same as the much longer and harder to type --handbrake-option encoder=x265.
  • Add a --simple ratecontrol option to transcode-video (via #211) which:
    • Works like my special, or default, ratecontrol system but won't emit those annoying VBV underflow warnings because it's only constrained by the target bitrate and not also a minimum quality.
    • Signals Hypothetical Reference Decoder (HRD) information in metadata like my average bitrate (ABR) ratecontrol system.
    • Produces output similar in appearance to that from hardware-based encoders but is less prone to color banding.
  • Modify transcode-video to not pass the target video bitrate to hardware-based encoders when a CRF value is also specified, e.g. via something like --handbrake-option quality=20. Currently, this is only applicable to encoders such as nvenc_h264, nvenc_h265, vce_h264 and vce_h265.
  • Revise both the H.265 video and hardware-based video transcoding answers in the "FAQ" section of the "README" document.
  • Update and simplify the "Explanation" section of the "README" document.
