Graphics Cards

[dkalna]

Hi there

I have AMD Radeon Pro W7800 graphics card in my Windows 11 machine and want to convert MOV-files (which are between 12 and 15 GB big) to something more suitable (smaller). The AMD website states that supported rendering formats are following:

• 2x Encode (H265/HEVC, 4K H264)
• 2x Decode (H265/HEVC, 4K H264)
• 1x Encode & Decode (AV1)

For the conversion I would like to use FFmpeg. On the FFmpeg website (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HWAccelIntro) I have seen different APIs and implementation status, but none of that make sense for me.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I would like to make files reasonable smaller (at least 50%) and would like to make the conversion fast (to use my graphics card to its full potential).

Thank you and best regards
Dalibor
