Hmmm. Perhaps no one cares about ffmpeg on Apple Silicon but me! But I care, so I bought myself a used M1 mini, and here are some not-very-scientific results. I “installed” ffmpeg 4.4 on my M1 by downloading a precompiled build from OSXExperts:
https://www.osxexperts.net Running a slightly older build on my Intel box (N-102535-g6ff2aba088-tessus) I took a 06:15 length, 2560 x 1440, ~300 MB MP4 from one of my security cameras: https://www.kan.org/download/StairClimb20x.mp4 and sped it up 20x with: -filter:v "setpts=0.5*PTS" -an on both my 2014 MacBook Pro (2.8 GHz Intel Core i7/Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB) and on my new 2020 Mac Mini (4 performance cores, 4 efficiency cores, 8 M1 GPU cores), both with and without invoking -vcodec h264_videotoolbox or hevc_videotoolbox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul5foCMrvR4 (uploaded from an Intel/no toolbox run) Executive Summary: Intel, no toolbox: 0.736x Intel, h264_videotoolbox, 4.23x Intel, hevc_videotoolbox, failed with "The hardware encoder may be busy, or not supported" M1, no toolbox, 2.61x M1, h264_videotoolbox: 6.74x M1, hevc_videotoolbox, 7.42x On my Intel machine, h264_videotoolbox increases the processing speed by 4.23 /0.736 = 5.7x. On my M1 machine, h264_videotoolbox increases the processing speed by 6.74 / 2.61 = 2.58x. On M1, hevc vs h264 is 7.42 / 6.74 = 1.1x faster M1 hevc vs. Intel sw only is > 10x faster. M1 vs Intel, software only, is 2.61 / 0.736 = 3.55x faster. Fastest option available on each, e.g. M1 w/hevc_videotoolbox vs. Intel w/h264_videotoolbox = 7.42 / 4.23 = 1.75x, which is a bit disappointing based on all the hoopla I’d read about the M1. “top” suggests that neither machine is CPU-bound when the hardware encoders are invoked.See screenshots, linked below. Or maybe ffmpeg isn’t fully optimized for M1 yet. Or I’m comparing an embedded GPU to a discrete GPU. Any ideas or opinions on this? Anyone have an M1 Pro or M1 Max machine to compare? Next step is to try assembling 2Up video in real-time and see how the CPU does.
