Attempting to update my sonarr ffmpeg encoder script to use cuda/h264-nvenc to see if it's any faster? I did stick a 2060 in this server, after all.
I did a test render (while my CPU was pegged no less) of a 4 gigabyte 28 minute video of Yakuza 0 and it crunched through it in just a few minutes, maybe like 5 or 6, tops. Got it down to 1.6 gigs.
i should probably get around to building ffmpeg with nvenc support but i hate building. i'm not sure how much gain i'd get on my 1660ti though
the good news is that it seems the ffmpeg in the apt repo for linux mint/ubuntu already has cuda/nvenc support so i didn't have to do anything other than make sure i was using the official nvidia linux drivers.
but then it doesn't have the good AAC codec for some odd reason so i'll end up compiling it anyway.
this is ubuntu WSL because i only get to use this computer like once a week normally, for VRChat. i'm not sure if WSL lets things hit the gpu
yeah i don't have enough knowledge on how WSL works under the hood to know how it interacts with hardware like that
it's hyper-v, so turns out that it does in fact passthrough the GPU. it's apparently more like ESX than vmware
so anyway I installed default ubuntu ffmpeg alongside the version with the actually good aac encoder (using a secret technique called "renaming the file"), and it's good news and bad news
the bad news is that it doesn't support any of the ffmpeg filters for things like burning in subtitles. the good news is that the performance is UT2004_holy_shit.wav
in handbrake for windows, converting from 1440x1080 H265 to H264 768x576 nvenc gives about 200FPS
doing the same with ffmpeg nvenc gives a solid 500FPS. that's 20.8x normal playback speed. for a transcode. on a four year old budget GPU
i have never seen such shit in my entire life
