[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] lavc/qsvenc: add support for external bitrate control for HEVC

Thu Feb 13 14:47:24 EET 2020


Enables option for hevc_qsv encoder:
    -extbrc

Improvements in BD-Rate could be observed with extbrc on.

Details for extbrc:
https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK/blob/master/doc/mediasdk-man.md#external-bit-rate-control

The improvement differs depending on the platform/clips/bitrate.
Based on the verifying on ICL, ~20% improvement in BD-Rate could be observed.
