CUDA Failing on Many DVDs

[Wilson.Wang]

I have narrowed down my specific issue... Apparently CUDA encoding fails when "Deinterlacing" is unchecked (as I generally prefer to have my equipment do the deinterlacing on playback rather than during the original encoding). When "Deinteralcing" is checked, CUDA encoding works properly and does not error out.

Hi Jessica.olson,

Thanks for your detail info. Great help.
This is from our developer.
Nvidia driver does not support interlaced frame encode for most video cards on windows, even on Pascal (like GTX1050).
Your setting h265 interlaced encode is not support by nvenc code. And there are something wrong in the code, we will fix the error, and it will use soft interlace encode automatic.
like now in h264 interlaced encode.

*** UPDATE *** 10.0.6.2 WORKS

Luckily, each time I update DVDFab, I assure I separately download and keep the installer. I re-installed 10.0.6.2 and now CUDA works just fine on the discs that it failed with under 10.0.6.4. So, some change between 10.0.6.2 and 10.0.6.4 broke CUDA HVEC encoding.

Here is the dvdfab_internal.log snippet with Annabelle Creation failing under 10.0.6.4 then succeeding under 10.0.6.2

Hi SteelRider,

Thanks for your info,
The high bitrate setting cause fail in h265 encode, We reprodueced your issue, will fix ASAP.

Thank you! I just updated to 10.0.6.8 (x64) and it appears fixed!
