If you don't specify a bitrate it seems ffmpeg will use cqp = 20 (which will come out quite high bitrate on some content). > -profile:v 77 : I tested values and in the end found one in ffmpeg sources. > Are these values documented anywhere? Not sure about ffmpeg, but they are standard numbers in the world of h264 > B-Frames : so basically VCE is useless in its B-Frame-less state? I wouldn't go that far, for realtime encoding it is useful and libx264 with realtime settings wouldn't use b-frames either (well depends on how much CPU you have available in practice). For example my card can do 2160p60 realtime in an artificial test - though in practice for say, game/screen recording I would need hardware CSC which Windows may have, but linux doesn't. > I was hoping to create a tvheadend streaming server with live hw-accelerated > transcoding, is this at all possible with AMD VCE cards? If the input is progressive h.264 maybe - VCE doesn't encode interlaced which could be an issue depending on what your local broadcasters use. TV tends to be quite low bitrate anyway - if you are not reducing size then re-encoding may not be the best way to go. gstreamer can, for my dual instance VCE card, be faster than ffmpeg, on your APU I don't know whether it would be. gstreamer can use vaapi (I don't think a current mesa regression affects transcoding). OMX can be used, but it's cqp only, with vaapi you can target bitrates.
