I'm a fairly new user and trying to learn. Thank you for the reply. I use SVP for transcoding videos permanently I will revisit from time to time. I also use SVP processing in real time for watch and delete video. I've been using 4.25 and noticed the link for 4.26 heavy. Although 4.26 heavy is old, the site shows it was upgraded just a few days ago and thought I'd give it a whirl and see if transcoding times lessoned without compromising quality and how real time processing compared. Taking your word for it, I'll just avoid it. Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm hoping you or anyone can help me concerning model management. I'm using W11 25H2 with an RTX 5090 and SVP Pro 4.7.0.302 fwiw. In the past, using earlier builds, I d/l models. I unzip them to C:\Program Files\SVP 4\rife\models. I play video in real time and .engine and .engine.cache build and store at C:\Program Files\SVP 4\rife\models\rife. I have 27 different models all accessible and working using TensorRT. Being a newbie, it took me a while to narrow my models down to 4.25. Is that THE general consensus model I should be using? I'm not seasoned enough to figure it out myself.

So, I wanted to add 4.26 heavy and did it as the previous 27 models except it was not selectable and did not appear using TensorRT like the others. At this point I think I'm doing something wrong. Many uninstalls and reinstalls later, I'm getting nowhere however I did finally figure something out but I know it isn't correct: I open 4.26 heavy. There's rife and rife v2 folders just like every other model. Inside those are rife_v4.26_heavy.onnx files - again similar to other models. I copy the 'v2' heavy.onnx file to C:\Program Files\SVP 4\rife\models\rife. Still it isn't accessible in SVP control panel. In fact, I notice no 'v2' .onnx files from other models have ever appeared either such as 4.25 heavy and not just the 4.26 heavy I'm struggling with.

I finally replaced rife_v4.26_heavy.onnx file from the 'rife_v2' folder with the rife_v4.26_heavy.onnx file from the 'rife' folder instead to C:\Program Files\SVP 4\rife\models\rife.  Now, this model and others appear, are selectable, apply, and work as intended afaict.  This can't be normal is it? Are there left over SVP registry settings corrupting new SVP installs?  I'd search after uninstalling but no idea what to edit if anything. Are there other W11 SVP related folders/files not uninstalling? Etc.

This leads me to culling my models. I don't need or want all of them anymore and would like to learn how to manage them. Before I screw things up more than I assume they are, I thought I'd ask here because I'm not familiar or know if an SVP built-in tool exists to add/remove models? I'm tempted to delete the models I don't want from C:\Program Files\SVP 4\rife\models.  Next I would delete related .engines and .engines.caches from C:\Program Files\SVP 4\rife\models\rife. Any other suggestions?

On a side note, these are my advanced transcode settings I've been using. Log shows no errors but do they look ok in your opinion and would you suggest edits?  I know I am missing something because some metadata displayed info from the original file is no longer present after transcoding it when examining the files with the MediaInfo app. I've seen many files by others using SVP that did retain and display the info. No idea how they do it?
