AMD VCE
=======
## Supported hardware
- AMD Radeon RX 400, 500, Vega/II, Navi series GPU or better
- Windows 10
Please note, these are not hard limits. Hardware encoding via VCE *might* work on older series GPUs and older operating systems, but this is not officially supported.
## Enabling support
Support for the AMD VCE encoder is enabled in preferences on the video tab. If your system is not supported, the option will be disabled.
## 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
The AMD VCE hardware encoder has a limited set of advanced encoder options. Generally speaking, it is not recommended to change these parameters, as the built-in presets offer a good range of options for common uses.
From HandBrakes command line interface, use the `--encopts` parameter as follows:
--encopts="option1=value1:option2=value2"
From HandBrakes graphical interface, set the options in the `Advanced Options` field on the `Video` tab:
option1=value1:option2=value2
### Option value types
The following value types are supported (each option only accepts one value type):
- integer
A number that can be written without a fractional or decimal component.
- boolean
0 means off (or disabled).
1 means on (or enabled).
- string
An alphanumeric string of characters. See the options comments for acceptable values.
