crowd_run_1080p50.y4m 帧率：50；分辨率1920x1080；

 

2 编码测试

time x264 --profile high --preset veryslow --tune film --psnr --ssim --nal-hrd vbr --bitrate 10000 --pass 1 -o 1pass.h264 crowd_run_1080p50.y4m;

time x264 --profile high --preset veryslow --tune film --psnr --ssim --nal-hrd vbr --bitrate 10000 --pass 2 -o 2pass.h264 crowd_run_1080p50.y4m;

time x264 --profile high --preset veryslow --tune film --psnr --ssim --nal-hrd vbr --bitrate 10000 --pass 3 -o 3pass.h264 crowd_run_1080p50.y4m;

这里转码是用 high profile、 veryslow 、 vbr 模式转码，码率为10Mbps，其实同样也有测试低码率模式，除转码时间比较快，质量上结论和高码率差不多，而且片源画面偏复杂，码率过低画面实在太差了；

 

3 编码资源开销对比

模式     片源时长     转码时间     转码资源开销

1pass     10s       0m11.619s      116.19%

2pass     10s      1m15.736s       757.36%

3pass     10s      1m16.072s       760.72%

通过上面可以看出 2pass 转码开销确实会高很多，转码效率低很多，码率比较小的时候，这个值差别没有这么大；

 

4 转码质量对比

模式 1pass

x264 [info]: SSIM Mean Y:0.8185420 ( 7.412db)

x264 [info]: PSNR Mean Y:28.510 U:34.313 V:34.936 Avg:29.757 Global:29.554 kb/s:10045.72

模式 2pass

x264 [info]: SSIM Mean Y:0.8526914 ( 8.318db)

x264 [info]: PSNR Mean Y:29.407 U:35.088 V:35.787 Avg:30.655 Global:30.638 kb/s:9928.51

模式 3pass

x264 [info]: SSIM Mean Y:0.8527646 ( 8.320db)

x264 [info]: PSNR Mean Y:29.408 U:35.089 V:35.786 Avg:30.656 Global:30.639 kb/s:9928.22

 

5 总结

2pass 和 3pass 不管是转码效率和转码质量差别都是非常小；

2pass 与 1pass 质量提升不到1个db，约10%的码率；

如果是单个片源做点播转码，对质量要求较高，可以考虑2pass模式，如果是大批量或者是云服务器做转码，不建议做2pass转码；
