Stuck on Preparing
creativewax opened this issue · 12 comments
I am processing a 1024x1024 video which is 20mins long, it pre-processed the upscale and then for the last hour+ has been stuck on the message of Preparing for upscaling. When i check Task Manager, the CPU or the GPU is not being used at all, CPU i9 12900f at 15% and GPU RTX 3080 10gb at 1%
am i missing something or do i just have to wait due to the length of the video i am processing?
everything has been left on default settings, BSRGANx4, and 75% with GPU backend
Hi,
in this phase the cpu should be working resizing frames. Actually this is a single-thread task so 15% means that 1 core of your cpu is actually working.
But to be sure of this you can check in QualityScaler folder, there is a directory called QualityScaler_temp, there are stored all frames and resized frames. Can you check please? :)
Yeah i spotted that folder get created yet didn't look into it, the single thread process now makes more sense and i can see the files being processed inside that folder now, ill sit back and wait :)
Nice :D
Sadly qualityscaler is not designed to handle such long videos, but optimization of resize and frame extraction is in pipeline :)
Ah I thought about it now, keep an eye on the available space because a 20-minute video, at 30fps = 36000 frames.
An average frame can weigh as much as 5 Mb so:
36000 * 5 = 180000 MB ~ 180Gb
Thats fine, its started processing the video, but its still only on 10% CPU and about 6% GPU and not processing very fast
Only 6% gpu? But is processing, right?
Yeah its processing, the GPU is rarely getting over 3% usage
Are you on Windows 11 22H2? Because it has problems with nvidia gpus and task manager. Do you have other app to check usage? msi afterburner or gpuz for example
Windows 10, i have just opened Armoury Crate and GPU is at 95-100% ha
Perfect! ahah so the task manager bug is on Windows 10 too... haha
Good to know, thanks man
Thank you for the feedback :D
