Hi all, I want to use a RX570 for transcoding with ffmpeg. Have been looking into this for some time now and testing around various things. I use Ubuntu 18.04 and I have it running with VAAPI. But the performance is not good imo. For a 1080p file I only get like 1.8x speed. I was expecting something around 6x to 8x. Is VAAPI the right way to go here? I see that AMF is not yet ready for linux and VDPAU only support decoding, not encoding.
Following is the command: ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi -vaapi_device /dev/dri/card1 -hwaccel_output_format vaapi -i fs_experiental_method.avi -y -c:v h264_vaapi -profile:v main output.avi ffmpeg version n4.0.2 mesa 18 amdgpu-pro-18.20-606296 libva: VA-API version 1.1.0 And here below the non-debug output of the command, to show the formats. I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks!
