Show me an open source encoder with GPU support. From my research, when you are doing high quality encodings the speed difference is negligible at best.
Also, at web scale encoding time isn't nearly as important as the ability to go parallel which is significantly cheaper and easier to scale using a bunch of EC2 instances.
We process 2-300 videos a month, though during competitions we process 10x that in a month. All of the bandwidth, storage, processing is less than $10K a year with an average encoding FPS of 33fps.
I would love pointers to sources if this isn't the case and I can do this for massify cheaper. Would be appreciated.
EDIT: We also encode 2-3 different versions of the video at varying sizes and bitrates.

- jawngee 17y agoThere aren't any open source CUDA apps that do transcoding, so far they are all Windows apps. And non-scriptable ones at that, which rules out web scale.
- mey 17y agoMy point isn't so much picking something off the shelf, its more develop something for yourself. If "web scale" means that the ROI is greater then development effort plus hardware acquisitions compared to your current system then do it.
- adnam 17y ago> Show me an open source encoder with GPU support Have you tried Fluendo? I think it has GPU support to a certain extent. Not sure if this is a help, but here you go: https://code.fluendo.com/pigment/trac/wiki/GPUSupport https://code.fluendo.com/pigment/trac/wiki/GPUSupport
