multimedia/ffmpeg5 and hardware encoding on Mac M1



Hello,

Newer Macs support hardware video encoding (H264) with Apple's VideoToolbox.

I just learned FFmpeg supports VideoToolbox, it just needs to be
configured with --enable-videotoolbox and
--enable-encoder=h264_videotoolbox. Then, on the command line use
ffmpeg -vcodec h264_videotoolbox.

(There is also hevc_videotoolbox and prores_videotoolbox.)

All the best.
