- chungy 8y agoEven non-hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding is very fast via the libx264 library. "Very fast", in my opinion, means encoding good-quality (better than hardware accelerators!) 4K video faster than real-time on hardware reasonable attainable in a $1000-$1500 desktop system.
- izacus 8y agoMost content isn't encoded with hardware encoders due to their rather poor performance vs. bitrate. If you don't need to do realtime encodes, using HW encoders is a huge waste of bitrate (and by extension money for bandwidth).
