Timeline was a PD13 sample file that was produced as 1920x1080/60p 28Mbps 59.94fps H.264 in M2TS Container and used in the timeline, no edits, pic attached, easy for CL to debug if desired. The timeline was set to NTSC 60fps to match produced source clip and all produced files use NTSC setting. All fps and bitrate quoted below based on PD13 "View Properties" which also appears to be part of the problem.
Nvidia, GTX580, 337.88 5/19/2014 Drivers (compliant with CL spec older than 340.43 release)
Quick Sync(QS) HD4000, 10.18.10.3621 5/17/2014 Drivers
For MKV Container, H.264, and standard profile 1920x1080/60p 28Mbps
1) For CPU encoding I actually get 60.00fps even though details of profile show setting at 59.94fps. For Nvidia HA encoding you get the stand error to be sure driver, WMP and Quicktime is updated which appears to be bogus based on item 2. (pic attached)
2) What is odd about item 1, if you simply create a custom profile from the standard profile and manually select the 59.94fps, same setting as standard profile, both CPU encoding and Nvidia HA work as advertised and produce 59.94fps output. Likewise, if you create a custom profile with 60fps, you get 60.00fps, same is true with custom 30fps, and custom 29.97fps settings. Something truly strange with the basic profile that PD13 detects with Nvidia HA applicability.
3) If you create a custom profile based on the standard profile 1920x1080/60p 28Mbps with a custom 60fps, PD13 hangs with QS encoding. After PD13 hang, further QS encoding with that profile is simply greyed out and not available. One needs to reset a PD13 flag with regedit in order to use QS effectively again. Restarting PD and/or reboot did not correct, only option was to reset flag from newly set 1 after hang back to typical value of 0. It's like PD13 traps the failure and then writes to registry and simply greys out capability ever after. A PD13 reinstall should work to reset registry as well but I didn't verify.
For M2TS Container, H.265, and standard 1920x1080/60p 19Mbps
5) For CPU encoding I get encoded results of 29.97fps and only ~7Mbps, profile setting is 59.94fps and 17Mbps. Obvious issues here with what "View Properties" reports as not consistent with file size or other tools.
6) If you create a custom profile based on this standard profile and only change the default 59.94fps to 29.97fps I get output of 14.99fps and only 5.95Mbps. More obvious issues here with what "View Properties" reports as not consistent with file size or other tools.
Just to show the hit and miss fps and bitrate issues, I list this success as a indication that things are done right at times. Same settings as item 5 but use of MKV container instead of M2TS. (pic attached)
7) For MKV Container, H.265, 1920x1080/60p 19Mbps, You get 59.94fps and ~17Mbps as you should for CPU encoding
Others seeing these inconsistencies in "Produce"? I've also seen several similar issues in the "Created Disc" module as well.
