I’ve pirated every video converter known to man (UniConverter, WinX, VideoProc, Aiseesoft, Tipard, etc) & even tried open source tools like ffmpeg and handbrake and I can’t get hardware acceleration to work unless I just don’t understand how it’s supposed to work. I have a Radeon ™ RX 470 graphics card and plenty of processing power.
An example is when I attempt to convert a video to HEVC and don’t use acceleration, I can get like 100 FPS and 2-3 mins rendering time but all my CPUs go to over 100%.
However, when I turn on acceleration or use the AMD HEVC Encoder (ffmpeg, handbrake), the FPS rate drops to like 10-15 FPS, the CPUs barely go over 10% and the GPU then jumps to over 100% which is fine but then it tells me it’ll take like 20 mins to render a 20 mins tv episode!?!?
This is driving me crazy. Can someone provide some insight on this? I’d be forever grateful. Thanks!
That’s bullshit. There’s no reason to limit or target a specific or non-maximum CPU core usage.
That would only make sense to evade hardware faults or cooling issues. Never as a general guideline.
