New version 6.2.0

[Pete4K]

Thank you very much for your coding. That is a great product and one of the best ever. My only problem is that in version 6.1.1 I had the option to choose a quality number (0-17 = lossless, 18-23 = great quality...). How can I now use these encoder options with Real ESRGAN to reproduce a very good quality with small filesize (300-1.400 MB) for an anime? Do you have a description for all the encoder options?

All of the encoder options are essentially just FFmpeg options. I removed CRF and preset because they are codec-specific options while the rest apply to all codecs. In technical terms, the "standard options" are options set in AVCodecContext, while crf and preset are AVOptions set with av_opt_set.

You can add them in the custom options table like such:

I will be adding tooltips for all the encoder options soon. I'll also be working on a tutorial after that. I think I might also add these two options in the custom options by default.

Thank you very much! Is it possible to change the depth of color from 8 Bit to 10 Bit with the encoder options? This would improve the videos in the dark.

That is the framerate for ESRGAN 720p --> 4K (3,4 FPS), for 1080p --> 4K it is max. 4,3 FPS

The setup for it was this:

The setup for Anime4K is that as example:

This is the fastest framerate for this setup: Anime4K 1080p --> 4K

I think it might be bottlenecked by your CPU. Also I don' think you finished uploading your last image.

[Pete4K]

No, the last png file was no image. So you think the CPU is too weak? Maybe it gets faster when you make some optimizations in the future. But, when not, I make anime content with much animations with ESRGAN in medium speed and others in fast speed. I think for cartoons Anime4K is enough. But the model realesrgan anime plus is really really slow, only 0,2 FPS for me.

So you think the CPU is too weak?

It might be. Check if your CPU utilization is at 100%.

[Pete4K]

Ok, I try. Sometimes the CPU Utilization in longer Processing Times (2 days in a row) is sleeping with 9-16% with 4,1 FPS for Real ESRGAN. I'll try If Something Changes with your new Version 6.3.0 today.
