Encoding 4K Videos with NVEnc 7.30 for Windows

Are you looking to encode your 4K videos while ensuring excellent picture quality? If so, you're in luck because I've been experimenting with NVEnc 7.30 and AV1 encoding, and the results are impressive.

One of the most significant benefits of using NVEnc 7.30 is that it supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats. In fact, I've successfully encoded a 4K video in Dolby Vision format using AV1 codec with AI floating bitrate. The file size of the output video was surprisingly small, coming in at just 443MB.

To achieve this impressive result, I used HEVC instead of AV1 for encoding, and then changed the code to use AV1 encoding during rendering. I also experimented with different bitrates to find the optimal balance between quality and file size.

One thing that's worth noting is that NVEnc 7.30 seems more efficient than SVT-AV1 when it comes to encoding videos. This was evident in my experiment, where the output video took approximately 12 minutes to render using a powerful NVIDIA 4090 GPU.

In addition to Dolby Vision, I also encoded the same 4K video in HDR10 format with AI floating bitrate and BT.2020 color profile. The results were impressive, with the file size coming in at over 1.1GB for the original version and just 443MB for the AV1-encoded version.

Overall, my experience with NVEnc 7.30 has been positive, and I'm excited to continue experimenting with this powerful tool. Whether you're a videographer or simply looking for ways to optimize your video encoding workflow, NVEnc 7.30 is definitely worth checking out.
