Question

AP2020 - Hardware encoding

Hi All

 

When I set Encoding to 'VBR, 1 pass' I can select Hardware encoding (Image)

I'm wondering is this is done at the expense of the quality. I've done some test and didn't see noticeable differences however quality is something not easy to assess. I didn't find any info about it in the manual. Thanks

My computer won't let me pick Hardware encoding.   My understanding is that on some CPUs the H.264 codec is an integral part.  Output will be faster, but since the codec is the same, it picture quality is the same.

    Thanks for your reply. I can activate hardware encoding only if my integrated Intel GPU is enabled however encoding speed is just little bit faster. Nothing I would care about
