GPU acceleration for transcoding
Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2013 5:45 amHello,
Is it possible to make use of GPU for transcoding purposes? ffmpeg is using CPU only, and I can see it manages to tax heavily even Intel quad core CPU (Q9550) while doing single stream 1080p+DTS transcode.
I think a lot of users will benefit from it because it will allow to run Serviio on a weaker/older system; modern GPUs have dedicated video decoder blocks which should help greatly.
P.S. I apologize if this has been asked already; keeping my fingers crossed though
