Title: GPU encoding
Post by: Jabberwockxeno on April 05, 2013, 09:04:28 PM
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

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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU)

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

Is better implementation of GPU encoding planed?

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.

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 (http://avidemux.org/smuf/index.php/topic,16243.msg70943.html#msg70943) <- weblink
