Handbrake for mac big sur5/3/2023 I've also read that Handbrake doesn't have a true 10-bit encoding pipeline, so if Compressor does then I'd be very interested to look for any visible differences (I've got a good eye for these things). Like AMD's VCN, I'm aware that Compressor doesn't include nearly as much granular control or as many options for speed vs quality as Handbrake, but that their "Quality" setting is at least reasonable. I've read that Compressor can leverage Intel QSV for 10-bit HDR transcodes for at least a doubling of encode speed, which would certainly help if it meets other quality standards. I guess they don't consider Mac users worthy of developing it for. Why neither Intel QSV nor AMD VCN are available in Handbrake for Mac is similarly unknown. Intel QSV is not available in Windows because Apple disables integrated graphics for reasons unbeknownst to anybody but themselves. I found that Handbrake in Windows (via Boot Camp) can at least leverage AMD VCN/E for a dramatic 10x speedup (possibly more compared to the "slow" option in software), but also that the quality is apparently not quite as good even on its best setting. Medium is about twice as fast, which is to say, still quite slow considering, so why not go all out? I dread to think how long "slower" or "very slow" would take. Admittedly I used the default "slow" preset option because I'm a stickler for quality. The reason I ask is, because, I've just completed a 28-hour! transcode of a 4K HDR BluRay due to the lack of hardware acceleration in Handbrake on Mac OS X. As per the title, I''m looking for any 2019 16" MacBook owners who have or use Apple's Compressor application.
