AMD Announces Navi 14 Based Radeon RX 5500 Series

[MadeUpName]

The only place I have found real info on VCN 2.0 is this page but it doesn't mention AV1 at all.

Is there any way to encode h264 videos with open source Radeon yet? Or is it completely trash as always?

It works with VAAPI (and has for some time). It's limited but there is a "way". I've used it successfully for real-time encoding without an issue.

Can you give me a command line?

At least with ffmpeg, the key appears to be "-vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -vf 'format=nv12,hwupload' -c:v h264_vaapi".

I mostly used emby for this so haven't done much of the command line myself.

EDIT: Use vainfo to make sure your card supports the h264 profile you're targeting.

For example my 7770 only supports the following:

vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
      VAProfileMPEG2Simple            :    VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileMPEG2Main              :    VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileNone                   :    VAEntrypointVideoProc

No! Seriously guy, why would anybody buy a modern performance GPU card to use in an ancient computer?

It's the only thing that needs an upgrade. E.g. the 2011 2700k paired with 16 gigs of RAM and 1TB SSD is perfectly fine for gaming https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us...-3-90-ghz.html

AMD, when will you release the 5900?

I have a question. Is it possible to set the compression_level now?

I have no idea, but my instinct is no . It's quite basic.

Didn't AMD make some new video encoding SDK that might do this?

Yes, AMD AMF.
