Encoding solutions must not only deliver high video quality and a low bit rate, but they should also be adaptable to the feature needs of the quickly proliferating range of video platforms. There are ...

When it comes to video encoding, the choice between hardware and software comes down to flexibility, latency, and cost.

(See Figure 1.) Figure 1 Encoder Basics The old analog modulator takes in one source, typically baseband audio and video, and creates an analog carrier for those signals to ride on. Composite Video, ...

The good news is that every encoder can handle basic tasks pretty well nowadays. The decision, then, rests with smaller features. Once the basics are covered, what next? Codec options, for one thing. ...

As digital video continues to extend visual communication to an ever-larger range of applications, more developers are becoming involved in creating new video systems or enhancing the capabilities of ...

Nvidia claims a basic 4K transcode should drop to 4 minutes and 45 seconds using an RTX 2060, compared to 11 minutes and 43 seconds using software encoding on an Intel Core i9-9750H CPU.

This includes support for encoding videos using the AV1 and VP9 10-bit codecs, plus many other new features and optimizations. Read on as we detail everything that’s new in HandBrake 1.6.

The video encoding hardware built into GeForce GPUs is getting a small boost, according to a quietly updated Nvidia support page (as spotted by Tom's Hardware). Previously, the NVENC encoder built ...
