Intel Quick Sync #529

Closed trentmsteel closed 8 years ago

trentmsteel commented 8 years ago

Does the "use-qsv-decoder-with-encoder " functioning at the moment?

I have it enabled and have tested converting using "manual.py" as well as trying the script using using Sonarr and NZBGET. And each and every time I can see my CPU at 99% to 100%, which leads me to think it is not using Intel Quick Sync Video to encode the video.

But the way when I use HandBreak it detects and uses my onboard videocard and my CPU remains at 5% to 10%.

Am I doing something wrong in the way I have the script setup?

"use-qsv-decoder-with-encoder = True"

Should be working fine but make sure you have a build of FFMPEG that supports this feature.

I did the same and it did not work. The video codec is set to h26. Do I need to use something different?

I think I figured it out. I changed it from h264 to h264qsv. What is the setting "use-qsv-decoder-with-encoder = True" doing?

I did the same and it did not work. The video codec is set to h26. Do I need to use something different? I just figured this out after trying since this function was introduced. This is a great tool however it is clear it can use a little help with a "How to for using Intel Quick Sync". Which I am putting together a Windows tutorial for it.

Here is a quick tip: If you are using windows and have followed the tutorial found here on the GitHub. The thing you are missing is that you must have a CPU that supports "Intel Quick Sync" and You must have the COMPLETE drivers installed for your Intel GPU.

I spent months trying drivers downloaded from intel none worked with Intel Quick Sync. Use this tool instead to find and install your drivers " Snappy Driver Installer". Reboot your PC and Try it, this was the only thing that worked.

And be sure to set your "autoProcess.ini like this. "video-codec = h264qsv" and "use-qsv-decoder-with-encoder = True".

Hope this helps anyone who comes across this.

It enables the script to use your GPU instead of CPU, which is great when it comes to the time it takes to convert the Video files. Using it I went from a 1:25hr Video taking 15 minutes to convert with he Cpu to taking 5 minutes with the GPU.
