Re: Does v1.7.3 support an AMD RX5600 in Ubuntu linux or not?

The question at this point is: does an RX5600 support H.265 hardware encoding? During the few dozen iterations of uninstalling/reinstalling AMD GPU drivers, there was a point where 'H.265 AMD VCE' was also a working option, but I haven't found that combination again. Does it support this hardware e...

Re: Compatibility of A100 GPU with HandBrake for Hardware Encoding

I'm attempting to use HandBrake on a cloud instance, and I'm curious about the compatibility of the A100 GPU with HandBrake's NVENC hardware encoder. I've looked into available information online, but I haven't been able to find confirmation on the specific compatibility of the A100 GPU. Well, Nvid...

Re: SRT import - how do you size and position the text?

I did see the Matroska SRT spec and that was used to write the custom converter which converts Oziexplorer GPS track log into an SRT file. I would need to modify this to do the SSA tags as well, plus add some means of specifying the content on the command line. It might be worth trying using the AS...

Re: Best A/V quality conversions from MP4 to MKV while adding subtitles

HandBrake always re-encode the video which is what you DON'T want for this if you can avoid it, especially when the original encoding is probably fairly good - re-encoding always loose some quality. Since MKV video/audio container is a superset of MP4 container's capabilities it's pretty much always...

Re: Encoding options for difficult scene

Not sure if it'd make any difference but I'd try doing a 10-bit encode and/or try the no-dct-decimate option. IIRC both can sometimes help with situations that sounds a BIT like your issue, so definitely not guaranteeing it'll help but... worth testing given that you should be able to just encode th...

Re: DVD to 480P File Size unreasonably high

Considering the source it's probably insanely noisy, so any video encoder will spend a lot of bytes encoding that noise because it can't figure out what is noise and what it needs to actually preserve. IE, fairly large files are pretty much what one would expect by default. Also, if there's areas of...

Re: 12700k will only engauge eCores, while pCores stand by laughing (Windows 10)

AFAIK this is a result of MS's decision to run all background tasks on the E-cores IF you use the default Power Profile ("Balanced") in Windows 10, it's an ugly hack but for many situation it works and reduce power usage at low to medium usage. However, while this means that the Handbrake ...

Especially with the AMD chips, you need fast RAM not a lot of RAM. The optimum for video encoding would be 8GB at 4000Mhz with a 2000 Mhz FCLK. Thanks for your advice,i also use it do other works,so 32gb is needed,i will choose 3600mhz or above. To expand a bit more on mduell's answer, for best per...
