Transcoding issues and hardware acceleration

[glassy]

Can you share your ffmpeg log via privatebin.net?  One guess is that you have HEVC unchecked.  Meaning you are CPU decoding videos that are 8-bit HEVC.

You could also be audio transcoding and/or burning in subtitles.  Both of which occur on the CPU.

But your ffmpeg log would show us what is going on.

Also, you are many versions behind.

Thanks,
my ffmpeg logs are here https://privatebin.net/?520f273c6fe0576f#cpjpK1PhgBYEVT8ScuzVG1jtMpTJsvPrbwUUeAKUxK7


As for the version, I thought I was only a minor version behind (9 vs 10)?
