#Do i have quick sync series

The second error said that the -rc option was not being used by any encoder and had been ignored. One saying that 'yuv420p' pixel format was not supported and nv12 would be used instead. On closer inspection of the ffmpeg output there were a couple of warning messages. It successfully generated H264 and H265 video which when sent to my Pluto was received OK on my Ryde receiver. So I modified Dominique's script to use these two encoders and to my surprise it worked straight away!. The relevant encoders are named h264_qsv and hevc_qsv which seem to do the same job as the Nvidia h264_nvenc and hevc_nvenc encoders. Looking at the ffmpeg documentation it does have hardware encoding support for quick sync video. Intel's numbering and naming scheme for processors is extremely confusing but it appeared that my Core i5 7260U processor did in fact support H265.

#Do i have quick sync series

This is part of the intel 'Quick Sync Video' support which appears to be included with the newer 'Lake' series of processors. I don't recall ever seeing this mentioned on the forum. However after a bit of searching it appears that many of the newer Intel processors do in fact include hardware video encoding for H265. That only has the built in Embedded Intel graphics and no room to fit any extra cards. After seeing the good results achieved by G4KLB using Dominique's FFMPEG script last night on the QO-100 net I was disappointed that I could not add an Nvidia card to my Intel NUC computer which I use for DATV.
