Hardware Acceleration / Low GPU Usage

[senoalvrtsyan]

Hi Openshot Team,

I'm using libopenshot with hardware acceleration, especially encoding (h264_nvenc), but I see almost no usage of GPU. Only some mb of GPU memory usage is visible and encoding with libx264 and h264_nvenc renders video on exact same times.

Can you advice how I can speed up the rendering time ?

@senoalvrtsyan could you include any more info on your computer? For instance what OS, and GPU you're using?

Hi @JacksonRG , Laptop is Dell XPS 9500, which has NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Graphic Card and OS is ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

I also tested with NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPU(again using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) and usage is exactly same. Openshot consumes only 1% of GPU and as a result I get same processing time with both CPU and GPU.

BTW: I'm using libopenshot in my program with h264_nvenc encoder (and do not use hw decoder, since it's still buggy)

Hi @JacksonRG Any new on this ?
