GPU encoding

[Jabberwockxeno]

If i'm saving a video, is there a way to get avidemux to use my GPU for rendering the video?

Because at 2 hours for a 15 minute vid and 100% cpu usage, I don't think it currently is.

On linux you have vdpau for decoding + processing

Well, if you couldn't tell by the section, I'm using windows.

You could always install a second OS: next to windows or as a virtual machine. For running vdpau: this would require a nvidia card. More info VDPAU

[Jabberwockxeno]

But there's no way to do it on windows, or period without a nvidia card?

Is better implementation of GPU encoding planed?

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Perhaps opengl on nvidia in windows, not a windows user myself. VDPAU with NVIDIA on Linux (like: Ubuntu).

Just checking in to see if this feature exists for those of us who don't have nvdia hardware yet, since I made this topic about a year ago.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Still Linux only I'm afraid, hardware acceleration: decode only on
VDPAU (NVIDIA)
XVBA (AMD)
LIBVA (INTEL)

Video Display:
VDPAU (Linux) or OpenGL(Linux, maybe/probably other OS supported)

Development is currently paused <- weblink
