Transcoding
Note
Work in Progress
This documentation is being written. Check back soon for detailed instructions.
What is Transcoding?
Transcoding converts media files from one format to another in real-time. This is needed when:
- A client device doesn’t support the original format
- You’re streaming over a slow connection
- Subtitles need to be burned into the video
Hardware Transcoding
For best performance, use hardware transcoding with a supported GPU:
- Intel Quick Sync (Intel CPUs with integrated graphics)
- NVIDIA NVENC (NVIDIA GeForce/Quadro GPUs)
- AMD VCE/VCN (AMD GPUs)
See Hardware Transcoding for setup instructions.
