add hevc nvenc preset and batch compress scripts
- hevc_nvenc_1080p.json: 1080p HEVC NVENC preset (slow, 1850k VBR, 160k AAC) - hevc_nvenc_1080p_v2.json: same with decomb off for progressive sources - compress_hevc.py: batch folder compression with duration-based bitrate - compress_hevc_v2.py: adds NVDEC hw decode and optional -j 2 parallel mode - hevc_nvenc_1080p.md: preset usage doc with bitrate sizing table

"""Batch-compress every video in a folder to HEVC using the "1080P HEVC NVENC"
|
||||||
|
HandBrake preset (hevc_nvenc_1080p.json, must sit next to this script).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Drop videos into the folder, run the script, collect the *_hevc.mp4 outputs:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
python compress_hevc.py # uses E:\\Media\\Compress-Temp
|
||||||
|
python compress_hevc.py D:\\some\\folder # any other folder
|
||||||
|
python compress_hevc.py --target-gb 3.0 # change target size (default 2.5)
|
||||||
|
python compress_hevc.py --dry-run # show what would run, encode nothing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For each file the script probes the duration with ffprobe and derives the
|
||||||
|
average video bitrate needed to land near the target size, so a 1-hour clip
|
||||||
|
and a 5-hour movie both come out roughly the same size. Files that are
|
||||||
|
already at/below the target size are skipped, as are *_hevc.mp4 outputs and
|
||||||
|
files whose output already exists. Encodes run sequentially (NVENC has a
|
||||||
|
single hardware encoder, so parallelism buys nothing).

"""Batch-compress every video in a folder to HEVC, v2.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Same as compress_hevc.py but built for throughput on NVIDIA GPUs:
|
||||||
|
uses the "1080P HEVC NVENC v2" preset (hevc_nvenc_1080p_v2.json, must sit
|
||||||
|
next to this script), decodes on the GPU via NVDEC (--enable-hw-decoding),
|
||||||
|
and skips decomb entirely (preset has it off — progressive sources only!).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Measured on a GTX 1060: ~400 fps vs ~240 fps for the v1 pipeline (1.65x),
|
||||||
|
which fully saturates the single NVENC engine — so running 2 jobs in
|
||||||
|
parallel (-j 2) is supported but gains nothing; one job is already
|
||||||
|
GPU-bound.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
python compress_hevc_v2.py # E:\\Media\\Compress-Temp
|
||||||
|
python compress_hevc_v2.py D:\\some\\folder # any other folder
|
||||||
|
python compress_hevc_v2.py -j 2 # 2 parallel encodes
|
||||||
|
python compress_hevc_v2.py --target-gb 3.0 # target size (default 2.5)
|
||||||
|
python compress_hevc_v2.py --dry-run # show plan, encode nothing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
WARNING: the v2 preset disables deinterlacing. Only feed it progressive
|
||||||
|
sources (check with: ffprobe -show_entries stream=field_order ...).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Per-file video bitrate is derived from duration so every output lands near
|
||||||
|
the target size. Files at/below the target, *_hevc.mp4 outputs, and files
|
||||||
|
whose output already exists are skipped, so re-running resumes a batch.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Progress: single-job runs show HandBrake's live progress on the console;
|
||||||
|
with -j 2 each job writes to <output>.log in the same folder instead
|
||||||
|
(kept only on failure).

# Preset: 1080P HEVC NVENC
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
File: `hevc_nvenc_1080p.json` — HandBrake preset for GPU-accelerated HEVC (H.265)
|
||||||
|
compression of 1080p video using NVIDIA NVENC.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## What it does
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Encoder**: `nvenc_h265` (HEVC on the GPU, not CPU x265)
|
||||||
|
- **Preset**: `slow` — best quality/speed balance on Pascal-class GPUs;
|
||||||
|
`slowest` gains almost nothing but nearly halves the speed
|
||||||
|
- **Rate control**: VBR, 1850 kbps video (multipass) + 160 kbps AAC stereo audio
|
||||||
|
- **Resolution**: unchanged up to 1920×1080 (larger sources are downscaled to fit,
|
||||||
|
aspect ratio preserved, no upscaling)
|
||||||
|
- **Framerate**: same as source (VFR passthrough)
|
||||||
|
- **Container**: MP4, web-optimized, chapters + metadata preserved
|
||||||
|
- **Subtitles**: not included
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tuned so a ~3 hour 1080p source lands around **2.5–2.7 GiB**. Reference result:
|
||||||
|
8.06 GB h264 1080p source (2h59m) → 2.68 GiB HEVC, ~26 min encode on a GTX 1060
|
||||||
|
(~220 fps average).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Requirements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- HandBrake 1.8+ (`HandBrakeCLI.exe` for command line use)
|
||||||
|
- NVIDIA GPU with HEVC NVENC support (GTX 10-series or newer) and recent drivers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Usage — command line
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
HandBrakeCLI --preset-import-file hevc_nvenc_1080p.json \
|
||||||
|
-Z "1080P HEVC NVENC" \
|
||||||
|
-i input.mp4 -o output.mp4
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Windows example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```powershell
|
||||||
|
& "C:\Program Files\HandBrake\HandBrakeCLI.exe" `
|
||||||
|
--preset-import-file hevc_nvenc_1080p.json `
|
||||||
|
-Z "1080P HEVC NVENC" `
|
||||||
|
-i "F:\Media\input.mp4" -o "F:\Media\output.mp4"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Usage — HandBrake GUI
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Open HandBrake → **Presets** panel → **Import** (bottom of the panel).
|
||||||
|
2. Select `hevc_nvenc_1080p.json`.
|
||||||
|
3. Open your source, choose the **1080P HEVC NVENC** preset, set the output path, Start.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Adjusting the target size
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The output size is driven by `VideoAvgBitrate` (kbps) and the video duration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
VideoAvgBitrate ≈ (target_bytes × 8 / 1000 − audio_kbps × duration_s) / duration_s
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For a 2.5 GiB target with 160 kbps audio, that simplifies to roughly:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
VideoAvgBitrate ≈ 21500000 / duration_seconds − 160
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Duration | VideoAvgBitrate | Approx. output |
|
||||||
|
|----------|-----------------|----------------|
|
||||||
|
| 1 h | ~5800 kbps | ~2.5 GiB |
|
||||||
|
| 1.5 h | ~3800 kbps | ~2.5 GiB |
|
||||||
|
| 2 h | ~2800 kbps | ~2.5 GiB |
|
||||||
|
| 3 h | 1850 kbps (current) | ~2.6 GiB |
|
||||||
|
| 4 h | ~1330 kbps | ~2.5 GiB |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Raise the value for better quality (larger file), lower it for a smaller file.
|
||||||
|
For 1080p HEVC, going below ~1200 kbps starts to show visible artifacts.
