How to encode HEVC without B frame

[B_C_]

Hi,

I want to transcode HEVC without B frame in windows platform. I use sample_multi_transcode and SDK 2019 R1, and use parameter with (-dist 1) , but still got b frame .

My command and parameter are as below

-i::h264 test.264 -o::h265 test.265 -dist 1

Platform: windows 10 / KabyLake CPU

On Windows KBL HEVC doesn't support P frames. Instead, HEVC encoder uses GPB or so-called low-delay B frames without re-ordering and without L1 references to future frames.

Hi Dmitry,

Do you suggest to try "-gpb OFF" explicitely?

Here is the manual:
