I appear to be having audio delay when QuickSync is enabled when recording/streaming BF4.

Example comparison footage recorded to a file here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0MTxvGHfkk

Log file recording a QuickSync enabled (audio lag) recording followed by a standard (no audio lag) recording:

Also worth asking, I presume the settings under [Advanced -> Video] [x264 CPU Preset] and [x264 Encoding Profile] don't change anything if you're running with Quick Sync enabled?

Let me know if you need any more information, logs or tests done etc.


Thanks, bluesatin.

I think it is normal to have such an audio delay when using quicksync compared to x264. I personally use around a 300ms delay when I do encoding with quicksync, and only a 100ms delay when I use x264. You can change the global audio offset time in Advanced. You just have to figure out the delay yourself since all machines will have different delays.

For your second question I know you can only adjust b-frames and some other setting which I can't remember now, but that is about it. Hardware encoders are much less flexible than software encoders.

Actually there really shouldn't be an audio delay with quicksync. It should function same as x264 in that regard. I'll point palana to it.

Is it just BF4?

The latest build 32 bit 64 bit should have reduced audio delay; the delay should be most noticeable on haswell due to more buffered frames for pyramidal bframe support and such

Should have clarified I hadn't got a chance to test.

I downloaded and tried both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions and I'm getting a crash when I try previewing or local file recording with QuickSync enabled.

I'll probably make an official update for this after I get in a few more features.

Audio is now spot on and I'm no longer getting the crash since I updated to 62865a5.

A quick question, is there any reason to use the 64-bit version over the 32-bit?

I've had a bunch of problems with 64-bit versions of programs in the past, so I've got into the habit of just using the 32-bit versions of everything if they're available.

Thanks for all your hardwork guys, this project is absolutely amazing! :D

Has this been been added to the latest stable version? I just switched over to QuickSync and notice the audio delay when I stream.
