Hello rigaya,

this one seems to be similar to #612 , but also different.
When using AV1 codec with
--qvbr 16 --codec av1 --preset P7 --profile high --tier 1
the encode starts and finishes, but the media info says that the Main Profile was used instead of the set High Profile, which I guess is sort of not okay:

Video
ID                             : 1
Format                         : AV1
Format/Info                    : AOMedia Video 1
Format profile                 : Main@L4.0
Codec ID                       : V_AV1
Duration                       : 3 min 33 s
Bit rate                       : 4 875 kb/s
Width                          : 1 920 pixels
Height                         : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio           : 16:9
Frame rate mode                : Constant
Frame rate                     : 25.000 FPS

Bit depth                      : 8 bits

Stream size                    : 124 MiB (100%)
Default                        : No
Forced                         : No
Color range                    : Limited

When the profile is not specified, the result is the same, which is okay in this case.

But:
No matter if you set a profile or not, no matter which tier to set: When you specify a level, for example the level 4.0 that the encoder used before, you get an error message:

nvenc : Failed to Initialize the encoder
nvenc : .: 8 (NVENC indicates that one or more of the parameter passed to the API call is invalid.)

AV1 + --profile high

Looks like same as #515, You don't need --profile high, default main profile is enough for YUV420 10bit (high is for YUV444, not supported now by the hardware).

AV1 + --level

The drivers seems to like to decided level by itself, so please remove --level. I'll make --level ignored for AV1 in the future (as it does not work).

Ah, that's good to know!

You don't need --profile high, default main profile is enough for YUV420 10bit

I have thought that if specified, the high(er) profile would be set, weather needed or not. Noted...
So I guess the --profile parameter is also sort of obsolete, at least for AV1. 🤔

[..] so please remove --level. I'll make --level ignored for AV1 in the future (as it does not work).

In that case it really makes sense to remove it from the UI. May I suggest modifying the docs as specifying the mentioned profiles will lead to a crash? 😊

...and in case you alter the docs, you could also change the [HEVC only] condition for --tier or remove the AV1-options when they are also auto-set:

Yes, it might be expected to work like that (as same as other codecs), but it seems that simply current hardware (or driver) does not support high profile, although it is defined in the NVENC SDK. That also does make sense, as current hardware does not support AV1 YUV444 encoding, and current support is limited in the range of AV1 main profile. It is also harmless as it works anyway (doesn't cause any errors).

The key part here is that there no need to set high profile in AV1 in current hardware limitations, so you need not to care about that. We'll need to check again, whenever if AV1 gets YUV444 support (although I don't know when).

May I suggest modifying the docs as specifying the mentioned profiles will lead to a crash?

I'll remove values other than "auto" from the docs. Other values will still can be parsed, but will be treated as same as "auto", to avoid crush.

Interesting and thanks for the insight.

Other values will still can be parsed, but will be treated as same as "auto", to avoid crush.

Must be a personal preference, because I prefer an error message that tells me why my expectations and specifications cannot be fulfilled instead of just being ignored. I was just irritated because the docs mentioned those values to be valid.

Thanks for removing the AV1 values from the docs. I have already removed Level, Profile and Tier for AV1, so there shouldn't be any issues anymore. 😊

So I close this one...

The fix for AV1 --level has been applied in the new NVEnc 7.75.
