Share • LinkedIn • Facebook • Twitter 2 Hello guys, I'll share with you today, a reply I made to a thread on Overclockers.uk on hardware accelerated video encoding on both Windows and Linux, using free software only. Here was the solution I proposed, copied word for word, as it may be of help to someone here: I'd strongly recommend the following solutions, based on personal experience: First, on Windows: 1. VidCoder & VidCoder beta: (Best installed side-by-side because the Beta gets updated faster). Upstream URL:. Features: Based on Handbrake's engine, can utilize Intel QuickSync and it's user interface has more flexible options than HB. For instance, you can enable file size limits where the app will calculate average and maximum bitrate for your output file, and even do two-pass encodes with Intel QuickSync hardware acceleration. There are number of handy video encoders for the Mac, but we believe Handbrake is the best thanks to its fast and powerful encoding abilities, open-source codebase, and $0 price tag. Pretty awesome! Ideal for beginners and intermediate users. StaxRip: This is a minimalist approach with a basic UI and a wide variety of tools that allow for a wide selection of hardware encoders on demand. For instance, StaxRip packs QSVEnc (For Intel QuickSync), NVENC ( for H.264 & H.265 hardware accelerated encoding on supported Maxwell Gen 2 GPUs) and other tools. Very versatile and minimalistic, ideal for advanced users familiar with codec parameters. MediaCoder: This is an all-in-one encoder with a vast support for many formats. Problems: Nagware for the free edition. However, very functional and well polished, ideal for intermediate and expert users. NVIDIA NVENC, CUDA, and Intel's QuickSync are fully supported. (For CUDA, use an older driver prior to R337. NVENC only available on Maxwell Gen 1 and above). Hybrid: What I said about StaxRip can also be said of Hybrid Media Encoder. However, Hybrid requires initial configuration (Output directory) BEFORE it can be used as this setting is left blank on first use. Also, Hybrid has no hand-holding, and it assumes that the user is an EXPERT on all aspects, including codec tuning options and selected container formats. Of note is it';s excellent job queue system that allows you to run as many jobs in parallel as possible, and can be changed ON THE FLY. Xmedia Recode: Perhaps one of the most advanced software packages out there, it also allows two-pass VBR encodes with NVIDIA NVENC and supports a wide variety of video codecs. Intel's QuickSync is also fully supported. A's Video Converter: Perhaps one of the smallest and most versatile encoders out there, it supports all known hardware accelerated encoders on Windows, from NVIDIA's NVENC, Intel's QuickSync to AMD's VCE on compatible hardware. While Google Chrome should automatically update the Adobe Flash plugin itself when the browser app is relaunched, sometimes Adobe Flash Player may This updates the Adobe Flash Player plugin in the Chrome web browser, this is demonstrated in Mac OS but it works the same in Windows too. In the Mac, I have installed google chrome. It asks me to download flash player. In chrome, there is an inbuilt flash player installed. And you may not be required to download it manually. They provide the latest version of flash player and later versions are also installed automatically. Flash player for google chrome mac. Chrome comes built in with it's own version of Flash, you are not required to install a separate plugin to enable Flash in Chrome. Follow the steps below for enabling flash on specific website domains. To enable Flash for a specific website. Flash Player is pre-installed in Google Chrome, but not enabled. You can skp the steps below. See Enable Flash Player on Google Chrome. Sorry, your Apple mobile device does not support Flash Player. As an extra bonus, on multi-GPU systems, one can also select the GPU device to be used per acceleration option. The author also includes optional integration with the for screen casting and in-game recording. See the project page. Secondly, on Linux: First, I assume that you can competently use the distribution of your choice, and that you can install and manage software on the rig from both the terminal and graphical installers. Carrying on, a few notes: 1. Google feed on pc. Some distributions (Fedora and Ubuntu) offer third party repositories (such as on Fedora for NVIDIA NVENC enabled ffmpeg and driver packages) that make it easy to install these encoders. Do your research and carry on. Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date. Now, to the sweet spot: 1.: This awesome tool is also available on Linux, and currently, supports offloading some portions of H.264 encode (via x264) with OpenCL support.
