Hardware Acceleration (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've pirated every video converter known to man (UniConverter, WinX, VideoProc, Aiseesoft, Tipard, etc) & even tried open source tools like ffmpeg and handbrake and I can't get hardware acceleration to work unless I just don't understand how it's supposed to work. I have a Radeon (TM) RX 470 graphics card and plenty of processing power.

An example is when I attempt to convert a video to HEVC and don't use acceleration, I can get like 100 FPS and 2-3 mins rendering time but all my CPUs go to over 100%.

However, when I turn on acceleration or use the AMD HEVC Encoder (ffmpeg, handbrake), the FPS rate drops to like 10-15 FPS, the CPUs barely go over 10% and the GPU then jumps to over 100% which is fine but then it tells me it'll take like 20 mins to render a 20 mins tv episode!?!?

This is driving me crazy. Can someone provide some insight on this? I'd be forever grateful. Thanks!

Certain Converters might require additional configs to support fast conversion, such as UniConverter. I had to get some dll and paste them in the app directory for it to unlock hardware acceleration.

Hmm, I wonder... It's funny you mention this because Wondershare UniConverter I pirated and it installed and registered fine but I couldn't get the AMD acceleration to show up under acceleration. It's like it didn't recognize it. I wonder if this file you mention has something to do with that because it DOES support AMD acceleration.

Really!? I would LOVE to get that converter to work. I've got a pirated copy somewhere around here. Do you happen to remember what file it was and where to get it?
