x265 No Option

[Shermo]

How do I use the x265 all I get is the x264 option, also is the x265 cuda based as well?

Sorry, I think I forgot to include it in the installer. I will fix that.

I really don't know if its Cuda based or not. It depends on FFMPEG. What do the x265 docs state?

Noticed there is a x265 option on the MP4 container but not MKV (Plex seems to not get the correct meta with MP4 don't ask me why lol)

Defiantly wasn't CUDA when I tried (Using DVDfab converts in about 3-5 minutes on a 1080, also dvdfab refuses to do some for some reason), I also think HEVC is only compatible with 900 series and above for hardware I think, don't quote me on it though. 

The only information regarding FFMPEG is here https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HWAccelIntro but it might as well be Chinese to me lol

I assume you saw the release?

Been trying to grab, www.convert-it.org has been down

Now converts into x265 MKV thanks, is there a command I can add to activate cuda I've tried

ffmpeg -h encoder=nvenc_hevc

-h encoder=nvenc_hevc

nvenc_hevc

Still on CPU atm

I really don't know buddy. I don't think FFMPEG supports any hardware encoding although I could be wrong on that.
