| + | ==== VPX Encoding ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The WebM project recommends doing a two-pass encode as the default options for creating video. I prefer doing a one-pass with a good CRF instead, and that is what's used here. | ||
| + | |||
| + | VPX doesn't have a 'CRF' in the same sense that x264 and x265 do. Instead, you can set minimum and maximum quality scale levels. The lowest being 0, and the highest 63 (rc_min_quantizer and rc_max_quantizer). | ||
| + | |||
| + | The values cannot be set to each other in an attempt to "force" a specific quality level. The library requires that there be a minimium difference of 8 between the two values. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In addition to setting the ranges, the rate control method is set to 'quality'. The other options being VBR, CBR, and constrained quality. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The default settings using libvpx as a one-pass, with no quality scales set is generally low-quality, with lots of blockiness, and so is used for the "low" preset. Depending on your source, you may or may not get a good encode out of it, but setting it to defaults means you could get anything. The other presets set a minimum quality level. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Using vpxenc, here is what the settings would look like for the low preset: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | vpxenc --end-usage=q --passes=1 --webm -o vpxenc.webm source.y4m | ||
| + | </code> | ||
