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.
Is that H265 (10-Bit)?
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.
Where are you getting “ffmpeg doesn’t offer that with AMD Hardware Acceleration” from? It works great. I use it frequently.
It uses a different library than ffmpeg
From here:
HandBrake leverages tools such as FFmpeg, x264, and x265 to create new MP4, MKV, or WebM video files
I think you might be confused because ffmpeg is the project and also the name of the executable, the library is libavcodec but it’s still ffmpeg. See here.
It gets blocked. That’s what it does.
