Quick Sync encode on OS X VLC?

[fhill2]

Has anyone been able to get a hardware accelerated encode using VLC on OS X working? I am trying to use quick sync with VLC so i can encode on my GPU but i can't see an option to do it on the OSX version of VLC

I see that VLC supports qsv enc through libmfx on win. Any ideas to get it working?

There is no real Quick Sync API available on OS X to access the GPU for video encoding. That's handled by an Apple provided framework called VideoToolbox. We will add support for decoding using VideoToolbox in version 3.0, but while we have plans to also add encoding through VideoToolbox at some point, work still needs to start on that.
