Topic: Trial version problem transcoding with 3080
I like motion interpolation on my TV, and in my reading found your software online. I downloaded it onto my laptop (8250U) and found I could do real time interpolation to 60fps with 720p24 material, but had trouble doing 1080. I tried transcoding and found it took about 110-120% longer than playback. Ideally I don't want to transcode everything in advance, and my HTPC is faster than my laptop (and already hooked up to my tv - 9600k @4.5 with 3080), so I installed it there. I found it could do 1080 easily. I went to check how much faster my HTPC is by transcoding a 1080p movie, but I couldn't! In the drop down menu the option isn't there, and the transcoding tab is also missing! I checked the versions and they're exactly the same, and I installed them the exact same way and on the same day. Did you disable transcoding in the evaluation version with fast GPUs present? And offer different options in the "Motion vectors options"? There are like 8 on my Intel 620 graphics, 3 on Nvidia.
It seems odd that you would, so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I like your software, the way it allows you to optimize video quality by balancing artifacting and smoothness when interpolating to a new frame rate of your choice. I like 60fps for TV and movies the most -to my eye it's almost as smooth as 120 most of the time, and when it isn't, the extra smoothness of 120 is just making the artifacts twice as big and twice as obvious. Together, 4x worse. Anyway, I'll probably be buying your software, but it'd be nice to know first exactly how customizable it will be using my 3080, and how fast each PC can transcode. Am I doing something wrong, or is there an extra functional limitation for PCs with fast dedicated graphics cards?
