Ffmpeg hardware encoding h.265

Help and Support Vero 4K / Vero 4K +

Hi,
I understand that the AMLogic S905D can perform hardware encoding of h.265 video. Is this supported by ffmpeg, the drivers and the libraries delivered by osmc?
thanks,
Panagiotis

Hi

We can only support H264 encoding on Vero. There is not an ffmpeg interface, and uses a proprietary API from the SoC provider.

Unfortunately it’s not that useful as it’s a real time encoder by design. This makes it less useful for say, transcoding your video collection as the focus is on speed rather than file size.
