## Command line interface and LibHB
|
||||
|
||||
Building the HandBrake [CLI](abbr:Command Line Interface) and LibHB (`hb.dll`) for Windows requires Linux and a recent [MinGW-w64](https://mingw-w64.org/) toolchain. Fedora 28 or later, or Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) or later are recommended; other distros may work as well. In all cases, we recommend you build the MinGW-w64 toolchain using our instructions and the included script, as some packaged versions have issues that can produce non-functioning builds.
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing dependencies on Fedora
|
||||
|
||||
The following instructions are for [Fedora](https://getfedora.org) 30 through 32.

- Very fast with significantly lower CPU usage than software H.264 encoders such as x264

Apple VideoToolbox
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported hardware
|
||||
|
||||
- Windows 10 for ARM with Qualcomm ARM processors. This encoder will not display on x86 based systems.
|
||||
|
||||
## Enabling support
|
||||
|
||||
If your computer is supported you will see one or more of the following video encoders added to the encoder control on the `Video` tab.
|
||||
|
||||
- H.264 (MediaFoundation)
|
||||
- H.265 (MediaFoundation)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance
|
||||
|
||||
Only video encoding is performed by the hardware encoder. Every stage prior to and after video encoding including decoding, filters, audio/video sync, audio encoding, muxing, etc., is performed by the CPU. As a result, it is normal to have high (even 100%) CPU utilisation during encodes.
|
||||
|
||||
It is common, particularly on lower-end hardware, for the CPU to be a bottleneck for the hardware video encoder. To minimize this effect, disable any filters that you do not require.
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced options
|
||||
|
||||
There are no advanced options available for VideoToolbox encoders.
