Simple question re Graphics card

Post by BunnyTwoFang »

:?:

Hi,

I recently had to upgrade my graphics card to a GTX1070, and it got me thinking...

Am I right in thinking that Handbrake does not use a graphics card as part of the production process for making an MP4?
I understand the card being used to replay the mp4, but I am not completely sure about the creation process.

Thanks

The only graphics "card" supported in a meaningful way is QSV from Intel.

In general, GPU-based encoding does not work noticeably faster than CPU-based. And it looks like there isn't an active handbrake developer to maintain anything GPU-related.
