Will or can the HEVC_AMF encoder support Profile 10 or 10-Bit HEVC? I’ve installed the full version of ffmpeg into the ffmpeg Batch converter I use but can’t seem to get the two things together. I’m a little vauge on terminology but I think I’m asking the correct question. Thanks!
If you can’t find it, it’s very likely not supported. While AMF support HEVC encoding, its likely support the standard 8 bit, not the 10 bit profile.
It is hard to tell as AMD is quite vague on the encoder/decoder supported per model, unlike Nvidia. At least not within my 5 minute search.
Honestly, I would advice you get a second hand 1660S if you need hardware acceleration absolutely, like Plex/Jellyfin transcode. Otherwise, I will stick to CPU as that give better overall quality at the same size.
I’m not working with High Def sources anyway. It’s mainly shows from the 60s-00s and older cartoons so I’m wondering if the 8-bit vs. 10-bit is really even important. I mainly just want to re-encode my library and reduce it’s “footprint”.
It does but I’ve found how to force a HEVC 10-bit file using ffmpegBatch. I replace the program’s version of ffmpeg with the full ffmpeg version & then use the libx265 encoder with Profile=10 & Pixel Format=yuv420p10le & I get a nice HEVC 10-Bit file everytime but there’s one small problem, I can only process one file at a time or it pushes my CPU to 100% otherwise so I’ll just need to be patient in my processing. 🙂 Thanks for your input!

Then 10 bit doesn’t offer much. It actually increase your file size.

It sounds like you’re using CPU to encode your videos. If you use AMF, it shouldn’t make you CPU work that hard.
