Where did hardware encoding H 264 go?

Post by Airtesam »

He community, i am completely new here. But had a question in my mind for a long time. After the latest update to Handbrake, i have noticed that hardware h 264 encoding has disappeared. I am curious to know why? H 264 was faster for encoding than h 265.
Why was it removed? And is there any plans to bring it back or is it completely dead at point?

Thanks.
