I've made an HD version of AVI Codec Comparison example based on stock Vision images, I think you'll find it useful as well. It takes about 3 min. and 500 MB to execute.
I also added a score which tries to show an overall codec efficiency. It does quite well, but it's far from perfect.
What's more important though, it exposed a performance issues with new VPx codecs.
Environment:
Windows 8.1
LabVIEW 2018 SP1 f4 - 2020
Vision Development Module 2019 SP1 - 2020
Steps to Reproduce:
- Download fixed AVI Codec Comparison example from this thread and run the VI;
- Download AVI Codec Comparison HD example attached below and run the VI;
- Take a note of Avg Write Time (ms) column for VPx codecs and compare the results.
Expected Result:
VPx codecs take a reasonable amount of time to compress single frame.
Actual Result:
VPx codecs take way too much time per frame:
The difference is especially ridiculous for VP9 codec, while VP8 simply performs terribly even for small images.
Please make these codecs on par with the others and more real-time-friendly. Use a lighter preset or expose them to users through the Quality terminal (for all built-in codecs having presets).
