Quick Sync decoding in CLI

Post by ano223 »

The Windows GUI has a preferences option to enable Quick Sync decoding for non QSV encoders. It makes an x264 encode much faster.

I could not find an option to do that with the CLI. I'm running 1.0.7 (both GUI and CLI).

Is it there and did I just miss it? If not, can this be supported? Should I submit a feature request?

Thanks.

From HandBrakeCLI.exe --help:

Code: Select all

-- Intel Quick Sync Video Options --------------------------------------------

   --enable-qsv-decoding   Allow QSV hardware decoding of the video track
   --disable-qsv-decoding  Disable QSV hardware decoding of the video track,
                           forcing software decoding instead
   --qsv-async-depth[=number]
                           Set the number of asynchronous operations that
                           should be performed before the result is
                           explicitly synchronized.
                           Omit 'number' for zero.
                           (default: 4)

Thanks! That's missing from the online documentation.
