Yes, it’s finally been released after cooking for so long in the svt-av1-psy fork!
I know everyone is really excited about this. If I’m using ffmpeg, how do I use it (once ffmpeg merges this update)?
Compile FFmpeg with the SVT-AV1-PSY fork
That’s it? I don’t need any arguments or options when I do the transcode?
The adds several new options to the SVT-AV1 standalone encoder (
--enable-variance-boost,--variance-boost-strength) and by default variance boost appears to be turned off.For my own purposes, I’m just using
SvtAv1EncApp, but it looks like, to use it with ffmpeg, you’d need to explicitly enable variance boost where ffmpeg applies the config options to the svtav1 encoder, but now that it’s in the SVT-AV1 main tree, I assume it will eventually become an option for ffmpeg’s-svtav1-params.Disclaimer: this is just what I concluded from a quick check of the patch and ffmpeg code.
