hi,

i am using vlc 2.1.4 in ubuntu 14.04 to transcode live tv channels with a vlm file.
i would like to use vlc to transcode with my intel hd4000 gpu.
i have read about it a lot, and it looks like i need to install the latest intel hd4000 drivers on ubuntu and activate hardware acceleration in vlc.

is it right that i need to install the latest intel hd4000 drivers, or does it come with ubuntu 14.04 out of the box which will actual hardware acceleration?

how do i activate hardware acceleration in vlc over vlm?

thank you guys for your help.

GPU encoding in QSV, needs MediaSDK and it' s on-request on INtel website.

--codec qsv

In 2.1.5 I cannot see the qsv option anymore. VLC 2.1.3 was the last version that supported the qsv encoder?
And will this feature come back in the next release(s)?

It should still be there.

The qsv encoder does not work after 2.1.3

These ones work in 2.1.3 only:
--sout #transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=qsv,vb=1500,scale=0.2,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.2:5555/}
--sout #transcode{width=1280,height=720,vcodec=h264,venc=qsv,vb=3000,scale=auto,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.2:5555/}

What happens after?
