Contributing to the rav1e AV1 encoder software

Contributing to the rav1e AV1 encoder software

Hi everyone, Yesterday I had my first experience writing code in Rust. I decided to implement 2 command-line options for the rav1e AV1 encoder software that I’ve been playing around for some days. The encoder currently encodes files with a keyframe every 30 frames. This value is hardcoded into the code and can’t be changed by the user unless it is changed at the code and rav1e is compiled again. Also, there is a new option which is called “Compound…

New rav1e build and updated rav1e_gui (2018/10/23)

New rav1e build and updated rav1e_gui (2018/10/23)

Hi everyone, Today, I’ve compiled the latest rav1e source code, bringing it to commit 6bfa0aa: I’m releasing 2 versions of today’s build. One which have compound mode turned on by default and another one with it disabled. The source code originally has this disabled (reorder=false). You can download both versions here: rav1e 0.1.0 6bfa0aa compound enabled (2018/10/23) rav1e 0.1.0 6bfa0aa compound not enabled (2018/10/23) I’ve also updated rav1e_gui to include this new release. It uses the compound-enabled version: You can…

Distributed AV1 Video Encoding

Distributed AV1 Video Encoding

Hi everyone, Yesterday, I began working on writing code to encode video files to AV1 in a distributed computing fashion using my private BOINC server. I wrote some PHP code and developed a Windows Forms software that will submit the video files to the distributed computing server so that it can send jobs to connected machines. The encoding software I’m using is rav1e. This software is currently single-threaded, which means that encoding videos will take some time, especially when using…

rav1e AV1 encoding tests – 10/15/2018

rav1e AV1 encoding tests – 10/15/2018

Hi everyone, Today, I’ve been performing some AV1 encoding tests using the rav1e encoder. You need an AV1-compatible web browser to see the videos below. The following videos were encoded using speed 10 and different quantizer settings to compare the quality. rav1e is in constant development so I’ll be performing lots of tests. The following uses the appveyor build from yesterday. I’ve managed to install the dependencies needed to build myself rav1e when new commits comes out, so expect my…
