Ever wondered how FFmpeg can use Vulkan Compute Shaders for video? Dive into accelerated encoding & decoding - #FFV1 included!
We’re integrating this feature in #RAWcooked, thanks to its sponsors for backing this tech journey.

Video Encoding and Decoding with Vulkan Compute Shaders in FFmpeg

In this blog we explore how FFmpeg uses Vulkan Compute to seamlessly accelerate encoding and decoding of even professional-grade video on consumer GPUs — unlocking GPU compute parallelism at scale, without specialized hardware. This approach complements Vulkan Video's fixed-function codec support, extending acceleration to formats and workflows it doesn't cover.

#RAWcooked soon with a FFV1 GPU-based encoder and decoder. It's with a lot of gratitude that we consider all the research, testing, support, and contributions that have gone into the RAWcooked project over the past (nearly) 8 years. From the beginning, RAWcooked emerged as a response to the challenges of film scanning for preservation, and it has continued to evolve thanks to your efforts and support through licensing. We’re excited to share a significant new development with you first: Over the past few months, we’ve been collaborating on adding a GPU-based encoder and decoder for lossless FFV1 video to #FFmpeg. While GPU development is complex, it offers substantial speed improvements over traditional CPU-based encoding and decoding. Now we have a proof of concept of the FFV1 GPU encoder and decoder up and running. On a Linux system with an nVidia RTX 4070 Ti graphics card, we're seeing performance around 40 fps for encoding and 55 fps for decoding 4K2K (4096x2160) 10-bit content. This is almost double the speed of a CPU-based setup at a comparable cost. This GPU acceleration currently works with graphics cards from AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, and ARM. Based on our testing, the best performance-to-cost ratio is seen with the NVIDIA 4070 Ti and AMD RX 6900XT on Linux systems. Unfortunately, high-end Tensor-based GPUs like the NVIDIA 6000 ADA or H100 have not delivered good results, and Apple’s integrated GPUs are not supported due to the lack of Vulkan-compatible drivers, which our system relies on. We’d like to refine our recommendations for optimal GPU environments, and your help would be invaluable. If you’re able, please run benchmark tests on your available platforms, drop us an email at [email protected] for a downloadable benchmark script. This feature has been a substantial investment of time and resources. In order to sustain and further develop this capability, we’re making GPU-accelerated encoding and decoding available in RAWcooked as a licensed feature at a one-time cost of 1000 € / $1200 / £900. If you’re interested in supporting our work and accessing this feature, drop us an email at [email protected] . Thank you again for being part of the RAWcooked journey. https://lnkd.in/eGTWefDJ

#RAWcooked 23.12 released.
This is a maintenance release focused on improved support of the (weird) non zero padding bits of DPX/Y/10-bit and DPX/Y/12-bit.

#RAWcooked 23.03 released.
Add compression with reversibility for AVI/v210, DPX 10-bit Y filled, DPX RGB 12-bit Packed BE vflip, DPX RGB 12-bit Packed BE with non 8-pixel aligned width, 32-bit PCM.
This wouldn't have been possible without all our sponsors ❤️.

Wow, finally a better way to keep DPX/TIFF image sequences from film scans. Uses my favourite flavours MKV and FLAC. First release to be launched during FIAF Congress 22–28 April 2018 at Prague.

Thanks @[email protected] and @[email protected]
