2 weeks ago Hey there! It would be excellent if you wanted to give it a shot if you're up for it.
I recently added a new README section specifically to help out for which files would need updates when adding support for a new encoder; you may be the first non-author who could see if this REAMDE section was useful/give feedback: https://github.com/Proryanator/encoder-benchmark#adding-support-for-new-encoders
But yeah! A test bed would be super helpful since I don't have one of those GPU's if I was able to build this out for you. Let me know if you start working on this issue! Feel free to hop in the Discord channel to discuss more.
The 6000 & 7000 series GPUs from AMD introduced a new hardware encoder with greatly improved performance, and in my hand testing with OBS AV1 has seen an exciting improvement. I'd like to be able to zero in on a performant setup for my 7900XT GPU setup using a tool like this but AMF AV1 is currently not supported, only Intel's AV1 encoder is.
FFMPEG reference for AMF AV1: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AV1#AMDAMFAV1
I'm fairly comfortable with rust so I would try my hand at adding an AMF AV1 implementation but I'm not familiar with working with FFMPEG and reading the source code I'm a little lost as to where to start. I wouldn't mind giving it a go still if I can get some guidance, though I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to the effort. At the very least I can offer my system (7800X3D CPU & 7900XT GPU) as a test bed to try out any possible implementation.
