Transcoding Intel VAAPI or Nvidia (GT 630)?
Added by A T almost 7 years ago
Hi,
im using a Asrock J4205 board and i want to get transcoding for recordings and livetv working.
I want to know if i should use the intel vaapi or my Gt 630 with nvenc?
With Vaapi i got it generally working but had some problems:
-wrong format and settings somehow bugged
-transcoded files not supported by firetv (not sure if it was wrong settings/container format)
Is nvenc better in some ways?
I usually build tvh from git, is there a good stable branch/package?
Maybe some general tips?

Sry
Ubuntu 17.10 64bit Linux server 4.13.0-32-generic
Is that patch needed for nvidia? I thought the newer versions support hardware accel. natively.
I havent installed the nvidia card yet i just remember getting drivers, cuda and nvenc rdy was a hassle..
Not even sure if its worth it..

Cool ffmpeg with nvenc compiled, but is there a nvenc enabled device?

At the moment not. I took the nvidia card out again.
I hope i find the time today.
I tried few days ago but i have problems to get everything working together (nv,prime, hardware accel on xorg/wayland).

Need to install nvidia proprietary driver and disable nouveau to load
nvidia-smi is not so good on this card but
in idle
in transcoding
as you see only temp, power profile and mem usage are changed
command used
watch nvidia-smi
