Friends, I need some advice. I’ve decided to reduce my pirated library to a smaller “footprint” and want to go with HEVC (10-Bit)/AAC but I’ve found ffmpeg doesn’t offer that with AMD Hardware Acceleration (hope I’m using correct terms). I also want the ability to transcode to AV1/Opus when it becomes more “mainstream” also with AMD Hardware Acceleration.
I’ve fiddled around with Tdarr & FileFlows and just can’t seem to get the hang of them plus I need more granular control over my video & audio settings. Can anyone point me in the direction of software either OpenSource or Commercial that might meet my needs. Thanks!
I’ve always used Handbrake for my encoding. IIRC it supports AMD gpu accelerated encode/decode.
I second handbrake. I don’t have experience with AMD but I use VTB hardware encoding on my Mac and it’s crazy fast and video quality is excellent
Can it handle multiple files @ the same time?
Yes. You can tell it to batch encode everything in an entire folder at once if you wish, and it will happily do it.
I’ll give it another look but there was some reason I didn’t like Handbrake when I tried to use it. But, thanks for the response.
It’s UI based and not as easy to script automatically I suppose. So depending on what you’re trying to run it on, could be annoying. But that’s my 2c. Good luck.
