I’ve always used Handbrake for my encoding. IIRC it supports AMD gpu accelerated encode/decode.

I second handbrake. I don’t have experience with AMD but I use VTB hardware encoding on my Mac and it’s crazy fast and video quality is excellent

Can it handle multiple files @ the same time?

Yes. You can tell it to batch encode everything in an entire folder at once if you wish, and it will happily do it.

I’ll give it another look but there was some reason I didn’t like Handbrake when I tried to use it. But, thanks for the response.

It’s UI based and not as easy to script automatically I suppose. So depending on what you’re trying to run it on, could be annoying. But that’s my 2c. Good luck.

Where are you getting “ffmpeg doesn’t offer that with AMD Hardware Acceleration” from? It works great. I use it frequently.

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HWAccelIntro

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.265

Is that H265 (10-Bit)? Also, I have to use a GUI as I don’t know how to use the command line version of ffmpeg.

Yes, h.265 x.265 and HEVC are pretty much the same thing.

Also, I have to use a GUI as I don’t know how to use the command line version of ffmpeg.

To do any remotely advanced setup you have to add command line switches to your favorite gui anyway, so now’s as good a time to learn as any.

Here is what the command looks like for one of my presets in ffmpeg Batch and you’re saying I need to add MORE to it? I don’t even know what half of this means…

-map 0 -c:v hevc_amf -quality balanced -rc cqp -qp_p 25 -qp_i 25 -quality balanced -rc cqp -qp_p 25 -qp_i 25 -vf “scale=640:480,crop=ih/3*4:ih” -c:a aac -b:a 128K -filter:a loudnorm

I’m assuming this isn’t the one you’d use to transcode your “master” copy… I hope.

That’s using the AMD hardware accelerated encoder so now I’m even more confused as to why you say you can’t do it.

Also encode the same video with that and again with libx265 and compare the quality you get. You might be better off not using hardware accel for this.
