Hi!
I've been messing with hardware encoders such as NVENC & QSV, but I noticed something peculiar when comparing CPU usage when choosing Simple Output Mode.
When using SIMPLE, CPU usages is about 2.7-3.5%. Pretty low as expected. However, I've tried multiple settings in ADVANCED output mode and noticed the CPU usage jumps to 12-15% using the same hardware encoder.
I have even copied the exact settings simple output uses (based on log) and used them in advanced output - the CPU usage still peaks at about 15%. This happens with both QSV & NVENC.
This is mostly noticable on my laptop, however, I do see a difference on my desktop as well. (It's not nearly as significant - simple: 2.1% vs adv: 4%)
Just curious if this is a normal behavior when outputting with ADVANCED vs SIMPLE.
