Missing Advanced Settings field with QSV encoders

Post by fvd »

Description of problem or question:
Hello, i managed to install the Flatpak version of HanddBrake with the QSV plug-in and it works fine. But i want to try out the additional QSV encoder options which are described in the documentation. The problem is the docs are pointing to an "Advanced Options field on the Video tab" which at least on the Linux version is not there. When i select plain H.264 or H.265 there is an "More Settings" filed but not on any QSV encoder option.

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.4.2 (x86_64)

Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Ubuntu 21.10

Not an option currently on Linux UI i'm afraid.

It's technically possible.

Linux QSV lags because there's not as much demand for it, I have to test it on a machine that isn't my primary development machine, and I'm lazy :mrgreen:

It's on my list. But it would be less likely to be forgotten if someone made a github issue for it :wink:

I'm also woefully delayed in updating the Intel MediaSDK flatpak plugin :cry:

Thank you for clarification. So in the meantime, the windows version should be the superior option for QSV, no?
