Hardware encoders #14

Open brooss opened 9 years ago

brooss commented 9 years ago

Is the testing of hardware encoders something that falls under the goals of this project?

For example I believe that Intel QuickSync Video, nVidia NVENC and AMD VCE h.264 implementations are all widely available with open source drivers (and the right hardware).

At the moment, the focus of the project is comparing multiple codecs running on the same platform - which means that software codecs are the ones that are within scope. That said, the methodology should be useable for hardware codecs too (if the drivers are right) - I would not rule out accepting a contribution if someone wishes to contribute a hardware codec.

I'll make sure this becomes part of the web pages, so leaving this issue open until I've made that clear.
