thegrunge 29 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 @lightsout I installed the video card today everything works fine on the side of Emby for transcoding, but for handbrake I still have no option to use gpu. By cons I have the latest version of hanbrake which offers advanced encoding parameters, so it is not the last. Which version do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe try to reinstall Handbrake, obviously you installed the GPU driver. What graphics card did you end up with? I am on version 1.2.0, which I believe is older, but don't see why the newer version wouldn't have it. Actually just upgrade to 1.3.2 and the option is there. You say you have a version that offers advanced encoding parameters. Is that some special version? Try downloading the latest stable release.

thegrunge 29 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 From version 1.2.0 the advanced tab disappears, I like it I will try that. I installed the latest version of handbrake yesterday and I now have the ability to encode with gpu in h264 & h265. A video which took 2h30 hours to encode takes 38 mimutes with the GeForce 1660 plus card! https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&sxsrf=ALeKk02CzypB3QhvRoHj9bUzmydoFBOPow%3A1591958145338&ei=gVrjXuCaFKeNwbkPq7iX4A0&q=advanced+tab+handbrake&oq=advancedhandbrake&gs_lcp=ChNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwEAEYADIGCAAQBxAeMgYIABAHEB4yBggAEAcQHjIGCAAQBxAeMgYIABAHEB4yCAgAEAgQBxAeMggIABAIEAcQHjIICAAQCBAHEB46BAgAEEc6BggjECcQEzoECCMQJzoHCAAQsQMQQzoECAAQQzoFCAAQywE6BwgjELECECc6BwgjELACECc6BAgAEA1QiNgBWOL-AWDslwJoAHACeACAAYUBiAH6FpIBBDMuMjSYAQCgAQE&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp#fpstate=ive&vld=q2swzlrvxJY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 @lightsout Do you use HandBrake often? I haven't really found a need for it directly in years. As a matter of fact I didn't even install it on my last build back in December. It is run via a program call in MCEBuddy as an executable but the GUI never shows itself..

More modern, faster for generally the same price, far as I can tell (unless you're going second hand). Have not tried that transcoding stream unlocking thing though. Also, no idea where that PCI 2.0 thing you mentioned might come into it. Just a thought from a very unknowledgeable person. I got my GTX 1060 6GB from @Doofus for $80 shipped so I'm not complaining. Wish he would have stuck around.. He was pig headed but also had a wealth of information too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegrunge 29 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Handbrake is the only encoding software I use. I am under Windows 10. on the other hand I do not know MCEBuddy. What exactly is he doing? I indeed buy the 1660 plus it works well in a pci 2.0. I also patched it to unlock the unlimited number of transcode Edited June 12, 2020 by thegrunge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegrunge 29 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 I did some crf encoding tests 18 The same film encoded in the traditional way was 3.82 GB in size and using the gpu on my video card the size changed to 7.52 GB. The image is clearly sharper. I will do a test by setting the crf to 20 to have a similar size and compare the difference in quality. In all cases the encoding is cut to the minimum in 4 over time which is not negligible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't, at one point I was processing my emby recordings manually after mcebuddy cut the ads. But that was before I set mcebuddy to do the encoding as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
