Transcoding video using CrystalHD (Broadcom BCM70015)

[trolcio]

Hello all,

it's possible to transcode video files to with using hardware acceleration with CrystalHD codec and Broadcom BCM70015?

We had crystal HD support, but I think that was not tested for long time.

You'll need to build your own VLC to enable it

I try to check CrystalHD support, by using this command:

Code: Select all

vlc --list | grep crystalhd

This give me a response:

Code: Select all

VLC media player 3.0.8 Vetinari (revision 3.0.8-0-gf350b6b5a7) crystalhd Crystal HD - sprzętowy dekoder wideo

Is this enought to support hardware accelerated transcoding?

As I said, no one really tested for a long time. (at least not main devs have the hardware)
It's up to you
