New server

[Nerdguy 2]

Hello all, me again.
I have new budget hardware
Ryzen 2600
Nvidia gtx 1660
64GB nvme mem
16gb mem 2 Wd ssd blue

I have nv headers installed and premium account, under a different email than used on forums here

So I can see the 1660 has NVENC supported
```ffmpeg -encoders 2>/dev/null | grep nvenc
V..... h264_nvenc NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder (codec h264)
V..... nvenc NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder (codec h264)
V..... nvenc_h264 NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder (codec h264)
V..... nvenc_hevc NVIDIA NVENC hevc encoder (codec hevc)
V..... hevc_nvenc NVIDIA NVENC hevc encoder (codec hevc)```

Can you tell me if I can increase memory used for ffmpeg?
Im only getting
```

Hi there, can we please look at some example log files? thanks.

[Nerdguy 2]

Sure, I have attached ffmpeg log for review, I can see ffmpeg using Nvidia card in logs just want to see if there is a way to push it a bit harder, maybe move tmp dir to NVME card?

@@softworkz what do you think?

[softworkz 5067]

@@Nerdguy - Thanks for the log. Unfortunately that's not an ideal example because we're converting 24 subtitle streams to webvtt. I wish we have an option to switch that off.

 

Could you reproduce with another video that doesn't have subtitles (or maybe just a single stream)?

[Nerdguy 2]

is there a way to disable all subtitles?

[Luke 42079]

In this example you'd have to test with a video file that doesn't have any embedded subtitles. Do you have any?

[Nerdguy 2]

I dont think so.

[Luke 42079]

Or any with a smaller number of embedded subtitle streams?
