Hi All,
I am looking for some advice on a graphics card for my server. One function of the server is to convert media but it takes absolutely ages (about 85 minds for a terribly LQ 20 min H.264 360p video)!!!!!!!!!
The graphics card is not used at all when converting videos to another format. Only when displaying that video.
A graphics card's GPUs might well be used during encoding/decoding/conversion. For instance, ffmpeg is able to use vaapi.
Paul, your systems are virtual identical. To test if it is an issue with the graphics card, it might be worth swapping the graphics cards. Also try "vainfo" to see if video hardware acceleration is in use/available.
Uh, with Nvidia cards, it's called VDPAU instead of VAAPI, I don't know if vainfo is aware or if there is a dedicated utility for vdpau. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
