Since ffmpeg now directly accepts vapoursynth .vpy as input, I thought I'd have a look at it with DGstuff and broadly compare encode end-to-end start and end times using a small video at the same transcode settings.
1. ffmpeg using .vpy input, DGsource with single-framerate deinterlace, mild sharpen
Start 23:01:05.13
End 23:01:20.18
Circa 15 seconds elapsed time
Notional encoding fps=245
2. ffmpeg with no .vpy, the native yadif filter deinterlacer and unsharp_mask_opencl (for equivalent enough comparison)
Start 23:01:20.18
End 23:01:34.61
Circa 14.5 seconds elapsed time
Notional encoding fps=248
3. native ffmpeg with no .vpy or filtering, i.e. already deinterlaced input file, reading and encoding only
Start 23:01:34.61
End 23:01:49.01
Circa 14.5 seconds elapsed time
Notional encoding fps=248
I didn't try mixing .vpy/DGstuff with (the tiny number of) ffmpeg OpenCL filters.
Perhaps at 70Mb the test video was too small to show any useful difference, yet as an indicator nothing leaps out as a huge speed benefit (other than the fps of nvidia nvenc encoding itself).
I suppose overheads associated with python/vapoursynth and passing around frames may not have been helpful.
By the time I add audio processing, aac transcoding becomes the limiting factor and circa halved the effective encoding fps anyway.
Benefits of using .vpy directly as input to ffmpeg may include a wider available range of filters to process video, eg DG's gpu accelerated deinterlace/resize, HDRtoSDR, DGSharpen, DGDenoise, and the other vapoursynth (vsrepo) filters.
I am aware of the handy NVEncC.
If nothing else, at least there's a way of using the well-maintained ffmpeg transcoding machine which works with vapoursynth and DG stuff without needing externally specified pipes and whatnot.
If I'm missing something, or doing something silly, please feel free to point it out.
Cheers
