This particular show took about 32 minutes to encode resulting in 730MB file with Default, so about 8 minutes with HB HW Default. Translating, this means that for this particular show (1.8Gb 60 min 43 min after cutting), HB HW Default encodes in about a quarter of the time and results in a 23% bigger file than the Default Format, and that Cutting takes 55% longer than just Marking the commercials (but it's still 80% faster than Default for Cutting). This adds a little bit of time to the encoding, although one also saves some time by not encoding the commercial sections. It works well, but unfortunately Handbrake is slow at skipping to the useful sections. In addition, I've written a script to finally enable cutting commercials with Handbrake (HandBrakeCLI.sh), which both those Formats use. with two encodings, each runs at half the speed of one. Note that here are very few options available while using HW encoding, and while simultaneous encoding works, it does not increase throughput, i.e. With standard def files, I get over 1,000fps 27MBps, encoding a 30 minute show in only 50 seconds. On my MacBook Pro M1, HW Default runs about 3.7x to 3.9x the speed (450fps v 122fps about 10MBps v 2.8MBps), while only using one core (versus 8 with sw encoding, which may eventually slow down on Airs due to heat issues). HB HW Default generates a high-quality H.265 file, while HB HW Small generates a lower-quality but very small H.264 file, about a quarter of the size. I've added two new Formats (HB HW Default and HB HW Small). The performance of HandBrake using the M1 HW-encoding acceleration is impressive. Much thanks to (Steve Schmadeke) for doing a great job on this rewrite. This code is faster and more reliable, but this release only works with macOS Catalina (10.15) or later. This was a complete rewrite of the very old TVDB code, and now uses Swift’s Async API. Our thanks go to theTVDB hosts for enabling this. TheTVDB has moved to a new API (v4) that now requires a paid subscription, either by the app or the end user however, cTiVo has arranged for a license that lets us access the API without that subscription.
