NotEnoughAV1Encodes (NEAV1E)

NotEnoughAV1Encodes (NEAV1E) provides you with an AV1 encoder that promises faster speed and reliability. It practically is a graphical user interface for SVT-AV1, rav1e, VP9 or aomenc, relying on ffmpeg to allow safe and fast video processing.

Its approach is to split the input video into several chunks and encode each section separately using the same settings, then merge all the pieces into the output video.

NotEnoughAV1Encodes comes in two flavors: as an installer or as a portable application that you can use on the go. No matter which one you decide to choose, you will be greeted by a user-friendly interface with clear options, with no additional menus. It’s all there, in the tabs of the main window.

Those who are familiar with Handbrake or other video encoders will surely understand what each setting does and appreciate how everything is set into place.

You are free to choose the length of the chunks and the number of frames (the latter can be calculated automatically). NotEnoughAV1Encodes can also trim the video and re-encode video pieces before or during splitting.

The application features video deinterlacing, resizing and cropping. To ensure faster processing speed, it allows parallel encoding and it enables you to set the processing priority. And talking about speed, the application makes it possible for you to find the optimal balance between speed and quality. You cam easily set the number of passes, configure a specific bitrate for the encoding process and change the framerate.

There are also a few audio settings you can tamper with, namely the audio codec to use, the bitrate, the channel and the language. The resulting video can be appended a subtitle file of your choice, if needed.

Thanks to the resume mode, you can resume cancelled encoding operations. Please keep in mind that when using resume mode, all the incomplete chunks are overwritten.

Once you set your preferences, you can save the configuration as a preset and use it at a later time without having to go through the settings again.

NotEnoughAV1Encodes delivers a fairly efficient AV1 encoder that comes with a decent set of options ready to meet your requirements. It features batch encoding, which means you can process several videos simultaneously. However, please note that this requires processing power and a significant amount of storage space, as the application also notifies you at launch.
