Rigaya VCEEnc for Opensuse Leap

English Multimedia
1

Hello,
I want to improve the video quality of some of my films that have a lot of video noise (grain).
I tried ffmpeg, but it’s either not very effective (the options are difficult to set up) or takes a very long time to process on my computer.
A friend advised me to use Rigaya VCEEnc.
and Options list.
This is new to me.
Is there a version for Opensuse 15.6?
Can you advise me on installation and use?
My box is a bit old :
Motherboard: ASRock B550M Steel Legend
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics
RAM: 16 GB
Thank you for your help.

Edit:
There is a GUI for this software, FastFlix. Any help to install.

@MrNice Hi, if it’s like QSVEnc then it probably won’t build for Leap 15.6…

I found that

QSVEnc uses Intel Quick Sync Video hardware acceleration, NVEncC uses NVIDIA NVENC hardware encoding, and VCEEncC uses AMD VCE/Vulkan-capable hardware; all are optimized for their respective GPU architectures with generally similar role (hardware encoders) but vary in quality, features, and available presets depending on the platform.

So, you think no build for Leap. As I am not good at all for building in my OpenSuse, I’ll stay away from it.
Unless someone has another idea.

@MrNice Have you looked at flatpaks as an option? I also use the flatpak version of Handbrake…

5

I checked in flatpak, snap and Appimage. Unfortunately present in none.

@MrNice I meant as an alternative to VCEEnc?

Hi MrNice,

I’m absolutely not a specialist, here. But to me it seems you are trying something - hmm, can’t say impossible - kind of unlikely to work?

I’m afraid this might not change with different software:

Did you check the system requirements of Rigaya VCEEnc?

The only actual hardware requirement is a dedicated GPU which (sorry) seems a bit superior to your intgrated GPU. IMHO that might explain the time required by ffmpeg, too. Again, I’m not an expert! But it seems the software isn’t the issue and you might be on the wrong track.

@kasi042 good points :+1:

@MrNice likewise you will need Mesa from Packman for AMD (and the issues surrounding that repository), with a flatpak the supporting libraries around Mesa will be installed for by the flatpak, so no need for a third party repository…

See https://flathub.org/en/apps/category/audiovideo/subcategories/AudioVideoEditing/1, maybe look at OpenShot?

I’m afraid you’re right.
My friend has an NVidia GPU in a recent laptop, and thanks to this program, he can reduce video noise in a relatively short time. I could benefit from his experience and the settings he uses…
I was thinking of buying a used NVidia card to plug into my desktop computer, but I can only afford a cheap card. Since there is no OpenSuse version, I would also have to install a virtual machine with Ubuntu.
Is this a reasonable possibility?

@MrNice AMD and Nvidia don’t play well together, in the system BIOS if you add a discrete card can the AMD GPU be disabled completely?

11

Yes, AMD GPU Radeon RX5xxx (RDNA1) or later is the required.
What version do you think could be good enough, RX6000, RX7000 series, second hand?

12

Just read, minimum GPU Radeon RX7xxx to be able to encode to AV1

13

@MrNice I dumped all my AMD in favor of Intel ARC and Nvidia… So have no idea. I have QSVEnc built and submitted to Tumbleweed.

Does you Motherboard have re(sizeable)bar?

14

My MB is ASRock B550M Steel Legend
AMD call the re(sizeable)bar ; SAM. see below in the page.
The power supply is SF-450P14XE; 450W
Cable Fixed
20+4pin One Cable
4+4Pin CPU One Cable
2SATA + 3Molex One Cable
2SATA + 1Molex One Cable
SLI One Cable
If the power enough for the RX7xxx card?
Could you confirm this is the first above 4pin used for the video card?

Here the Radeon RX7xxx specif
From each link the power requirement for total and 12V; looks like my PSU is too weak.
Let me know your opinion.

@MrNice looks like minimum of 550W for a power supply…
