When processing videos, occasionally processing will “halt”, disk usage and output file size will go really high, and lots of encoding will happen. I did not have this issue back in the 3.4.X versions of TVAI (I didn’t test 3.5.0, so I’m not sure if this was introduced in 3.5.0 or 3.5.1)
When I say the processing “halts”, I’m just guessing here. GPU usage drops to basically 0 (power draw drops low too) and I can’t see any activity in the ffmpeg command line. (Note: I am running TVAI ffmpeg from the command line). The only thing worth noting from the command line is some warning/error messages about “excessive duplicate frames”
Steps to reproduce:
Note: These aren’t the exact steps to reproduce. I just encountered this bug while doing other stuff and these were the settings I were using.
- Setup a bunch of files for processing.
- Change the frame rate, use Apollo as your frame interpolater, and enable “Replace Duplicate Frames”. (I’m not sure if all this is necessary, this is just what I was using)
- Enable upscaling and select Proteus Auto. (I’m not sure if this is necessary, this is just what I was using)
- Export the videos. Some videos will encounter this issue, others won’t. The issue could occur near the beginning of processing, in the middle, at the end, or not at all (About 1 in 10 of the videos I were processing would have this issue). And a video that had issues the last time you processed it may not have issues the next time.
For reference, I encountered this issue on two separate computers. Both running Windows 11, one with a RX 7800XT, another with a RTX 4090. The RX 7800XT was using VP9 for encoding. The RTX 4090 was using hevc_nvenc.
Sorry, I don’t have any logs, I ran everything from the command line. And the issue took between 1 hour and 14 hours to show up.
