Solution - Linux / Fedora Hardware Acceleration Support for NVidia nvenc and Intel QSync

[e.s. kohen]

Borrowing from the Fedora 22 unofficial installation, and Negativo's FFMpeg w/ Hardware Acceleration Guide:

I also proposed an edit to the installation wiki regarding this.

• For Linux Hardware Acceleration support, choose an FFmpeg build that has NVidia nvenc or Intel QSync enabled in the build options.

• Caveat: This is regarding the Linux Hardware Acceleration & ffmpeg configuration ... I am still unsure how OBS should be configured to properly utilize this.
  
  
• FFmpeg with hardware acceleration, (Fedora 22+): http://negativo17.org/handbrake-makemkv-ffmpeg-and-skype-available-for-centosrhel-7/

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=http://negativo17.org/repos/fedora-handbrake.repo
sudo dnf install ffmpeg --setopt=install_weak_deps=True
ffmpeg -codecs | grep nvenc

sudo rpm --import http://repo.tech-3.net/Fedora/TECH3-GPG-KEY.public
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo http://repo.tech-3.net/Fedora/tech-3.repo
sudo dnf clean all && sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install obs-studio

Has anyone figured out settings to use to moment qsync? I've got an Intel NUC at my disposal that I would like to use. It will strictly be used for streaming 2 webcams, a Logitech c920 and a Microsoft studio cinema, as well as 2 Samson q2u mics.

What's the biggest improvement over negativeo's FFMPEG build vs the one from rpmfusion ?

I believed that negativeo's build includes nvenc and qsync where the rpmfusion build does not.
