Enhancement Request ..

Under video image properties; Could you please consider adding gamma (R,G,B).
Like -vf "eq=gamma_r=0.95:gamma_g=1.2:gamma_b=0.85".

Done.

DataGridView error message:
System.InvalidOperationException: Dieser Vorgang kann nicht ausgeführt werden, während die Größe einer automatisch gefüllten Spalte geändert wird.

Sequence: 0pen a source file, create one video encoding batch task, go to main page, open batch tasks and go back to main page, various, scan for errors, click on batch scan, error!
Delete the batch task and repeat the sequence.
I can often reproduce this when I do that sequence quickly, but not always!
I happens not so often when you skip "open batch tasks and go back to main page" in that sequence.

It looks like the automatic column width adjustment has a timing issue when opening a filled grid page.

BTW: Switching from ffmpeg 7.1.1 to 8.0 increases the encoding speed by about 2.5%. The same applies after updating the Intel ACR drivers.

Quick test of the new HWA decoding for all video encoders.
I can see that the GPU decoder is doing the work.
Core Ultra 7 using avc preset veryfast has 0 % and ultrafast 30 % slowing down.
Same for other encoders.
Only _qsv encoders benefit from HWA decoding. The best choice there is also qsv decoding.

Same on the Ryzen 5 system where AMF is the best choice.

@ProWo
Thanks a lot for adding the gamma (R,G,B)

Usage Feedback:
Since the Gamma filter settings popup doesn't have a preview,
after selecting all 5 values [G, RGB, W] I have to go back to video properties
popup to preview, but if I still need to adjust the 5 values, by entering back into
Gamma filter settings, all values are re-set to 1. I wish there was a way to
memorize the last values.

Please keep in mind that contrast, brightness, and saturation may need to be
tweaked as well .. so that's 8 values total to try to remember during color
adjustments.

If you can help with this .. I would really appreciate that ..

Thank you again for what's becoming a very usefull program.

Could you please consider adding gamma (R,G,B).

Done.

Video encoding, Various, HDR reselection not working:
If the source file is HDR10 or HLG, you can reselect HRD as often you want.
With SDR source files, and when you select Video encoding, Various, HDR, SDR to HLG or HDR10 and then hevc or av1 and unselect and reselect HDR, you don't get the further options window. You need to close the page and reopen Video encoding to be able to reselect HDR and see the further options window.

Clever selects only the first subtitle stream, if there is more than one. This is problem for muxing the whole grid.

So far, I can not reproduce the DGV issue. Very good!
It frst appeared in version 3.4.5.14, only on my Intel system. I've never encountered it in other grids.
My first thought was that it was caused by the mouse hovering over the column header when the grid was performing auto-alignment.

Thanks for fixing the HDR reselection for SDR videos.
Question: why is SDR to HDR limited here to av1-svt and x265 (hevc)?

Good idea to put all video image poperties filter on one page.

Question: why is SDR to HDR limited here to av1-svt and x265 (hevc)?

Because other codecs aren't able to write the necessary metadata.

Unsharp filter usage.
Lx, Ly, Cx, Cy must be an odd integer between 3 and 23.

The preview does not work with 23. Max working is 21.
Encoding failed with values above 13.

@ProWo
v3.4.5.18

Feedback #1:

Video Encoding -> various

Properties:
-----------
Standard Filters: C,B,S,G work well.

Gamma filters: Gamma is fine.
The Gamma RGB colors are quite off between preview and file output,
[The weight was =1].

Are you passing the same arguments to ffmpeg & ffplay?
No preview-noticeable change for small [0.10] changes in The weight
dropdown, will test this further.

I need to do some research before testing Unsharp & Denoise, will test
them next & feedback.

HDR:
-----
Only SDR TO HDR10, SDR TO HLG are active for my system, the rest are grayed.
HDR/HLG Popup text has already been corrected.
I am not familiar with av1 .. yet, but will test Hevc next & feeback.
I like how the encoder dropdown changes to x265 if it is selected and
go back to the previous setting if it isn't [selected in HDR].

Rotate/Flip:
------------
Only Rotate 90 CW/CCW is available [not similar to the Metadata rotate]
Flip V/H & Rotate work well.

Time Lapse:
------------
Time Lapse works well, but during my testing, other filters values bled
into Time Lapse even when all the other check boxes were off !!

Please check that all settings within an option are re-set if the option
checkbox is unchecked.

* Combining options is fine, if both are checked, like flip & Time Lapse
or grayscale & rotate.
