To complete the set of posts [1, 2, 3] on hardware video encoding at lowest latency settings, I am sharing the juiciest part and the application for NVIDIA NVENC. I did not have a 20 series card at hand to run the measurement for the numbers, and I hope the table below for GeForce GTX…
In continuation of previous AMD AMF encoder latency at faster settings posts, side by side comparison to NVIDIA encoders. The numbers are to show how different they are even though they are doing something similar. The NVIDIA cards are not high end: GTX 1650 is literally the cheapest stuff among Turing 16xx series, and GeForce…
A follow-up observation about encoders of Radeon RX Vega M GH Graphics of Hades Canyon NUC and the measurement app from the previous post: The side by side comparison with desktop RX 570 card shows a few interesting things: Radeon RX Vega M GH Graphics has the latest driver, but AMF runtime version is way…
Just a small tool here to try a few of a popular resolutions and measure video encoding latency. The encoder is running in configuration to address needs of real-time encoding with speed over quality setup. Note that the performance might be affected by side load, such as graphics application (I often use this application for…
It is embarrassing, my friends…
An interesting Media Foundation question on StackOverflow: Weird connection between CoInitializeSecurity() and Media Foundation Encoders A developer has reasons to discard standard COM security and go RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_ANONYMOUS. Surprisingly this has effect on Windows Media Foundation API in the part of available codecs (Media Foundation Transforms). Sample code: CoInitializeSecurity line in the code above removes the…
