HandBrake

Hello. I haven't played around with Handbrake much in a while and recently installed it in a PC I put together with spare parts.

AMD A10-5800k APU
HD 7660D integrated
HD 6450 discrete

I was excited to learn that VCE had been added to Handbrake, but I don't seem to have it as an option. It is not greyed out; it simply isn't there (neither is Quicksync, which I assume was by default since I have an AMD system).

I have tried both 1.1.2 and a few recent nightlies.

Your hardware is not supported I'm afraid. It's only available in the currently nightly.

The preferences to enable automatically grey out for unsupported hardware.

Basically, Anything that's not Polaris or Vega, is not supported by us. Some of the older cards may work. We don't block it but we won't offer any support for problems with older cards.

thank you for the answer.

Just to understand you correctly you said you don't block it but it won't work, and that it would automatically grey out on unsupported hardware. But I haven't got it as an option at all. I'd be willing to test it on my system and report bugs and functionality back if it works.

If it is indeed limited to those chipsets perhaps that could be added to a wiki article. I did a number of searches here, at github, reddit, and on the internet at large looking for compatible hardware. If it is known what it supports hopefully that will eliminate this question in the future.

regards.

1.1.2 doesn't support it at all. Nightlies will have grey'd out checkboxes. If it didn't, you were not running the nightly.
Note, it's called "HandBrake Nightly" in the start menu, not "handBrake"

In your case, it doesn't really matter. Neither your Discrete or CPU GPU has VCE support. They are both older terascale architectures which was pre-VCE.

https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/latest/tec ... o-vce.html is a WIP, but already notes we don't play to support anything old.

thank you S55 for walking me through that. I wasn't aware it would need to be enabled (if available) in the preferences. I just saw that option now trying to figure out why I didn't see it even greyed out. Have a great weekend!
