1 day agoFrom my understanding, it’s the hardware that produces bad results. There’s no encoding logic in the drivers itself. That’s why the encoding is accelerated in the first place.
E.g. if the hardware doesn’t support b-frames – which for long it didn’t – a new driver won’t do jack. This is just about how video data gets into and out of the card, any encoding logic is handled by the hardware.
This is how I would read it. But if you have Mesa do it, it’s in software, and you might just be using a software coded directly then, it’s much easier.
