How can you compare and measure filter speeds.

I want to evaluate and measure the speed at which these filter process video's (although I know its very subjective to the source).

Lremovedust_YV12()
Degrainmedian()
STMedianfilter()
Convolutions3d() ----YV12
Hqdn3D()
removegrain()

At their default values, for subtle grain removal and for speed. If someone has already done similar comparison/knows of it, please direct me to the thread.

Hi,

it's quite easy: just make an avisynth script with each filter, and see how many time HC last encoding a quite small clip (using slicer to extract a representative clip of a movie, for example).

With slicer, you should get differents kind of scene, and if you're not using others programs meanwhile, you will have a quite good speed comparison.

Thats what I was looking for but by the time I read your post I had almost finished my real world test (using a small clip). Will post back the results in few minutes.

So here are the results :

2894 frames - HCEnc 0.17, 2-pass, Normal Q

No filter - 3:03 - 58922KB
removegrain(mode=2) - 3:15 - 58925KB
Removegrain(mode=2).STMedianfilter(3,3,1,1) - 3:44 - 58914KB
STMedianfilter(3,3,1,1) - 3:50 - 58924KB
Lremovedust(17,1) - 3:51 - 58949KB
DeGrainMedian(limitY=5,limitUV=5,mode=3) - 4:00 - 58926KB
hqdn3d(3,2,4,4.5) - 4:25 - 58923KB
Convolution3d(preset="movieHQ") - 4:34 - 58914KB

Have included the file size just in case ppl were interested in the compression levels also.

Uhm, the compression cannot be measured as you did a 2-pass encode

But you cannot discuss compression levels if you use a 2-pass encode. The avg bitrate will always be nearly (if not completely) the same in every encode no matter what filter you use. If you want to measure compression at the same time as the performance of the filter, you need to use the CQ mode in HC.

Ok, got that!!!
