static build of handbrake with nvidia and intel hardware acceleration

Post by allegfede »

Hello everybody.

Just wondering, is there anybody that makes a monolitic build of handbrake with patches for hardware acceleration (decode/encode)?

It's really sad to have latest gpu and an i7 and have only the bare cpu to make the work :-(

PS: if there's a magick switch in the main handbrake app i'll be happy also :D

Generally speaking, GPU encoding suffers from too much latency to be useful. The exception is Intel QSV, which is already supported by HandBrake.

Except that QSV isn't supported on the Linux/Unix build, is it?

In theory it is if you have the correct drivers and the nightly builds. (I don't recall if it works in 1.0.x)

Your activity log should show if QSV hardware and a compatible video driver was detected.

The PPA builds do not enable QSV. HandBrake's QSV support has never been tested on Linux by anyone to my knowledge.
