Re: Enable Intel QSV in version 1.1.0
Ubuntu binary releases are not built with QSV support. In theory, HandBrake on *nix can be built with QSV support enabled. But I have never done this myself.
Given the number of support requests/issues we get for the windows builds with QSV, I'm not in any hurry to enable QSV in Ubuntu builds.

Re: Enable Intel QSV in version 1.1.0
At some point I'll try write up some instructions to get this "working" but it's a little involved and requires compiling from source. Hence "Experimental"

Re: Enable Intel QSV in version 1.1.0
Thanks for the quick reply. Installing from source is no problem, just need to know if there is anything specific I need to do outside of the usual configure/make/make install process to get QSV enabled.
Re: Enable Intel QSV in version 1.1.0
Thank you for the replies on this thread. I'll also look forward to a writeup whenever possible. In particular, I'm curious as to whether handbrake uses the intel mediasdk or the va-api interface to access QSV GPU encoding functions.
Re: Enable Intel QSV in version 1.1.0
MediaSDK, though IIRC MSDK leverages vaapi for decoding (but not encoding?).
