Any ideas or opinions on this? Anyone have an M1 Pro or M1 Max machine to compare? Or I’m comparing an embedded GPU to a discrete GPU. Or maybe ffmpeg isn’t fully optimized for M1 yet. “top” suggests that neither machine is CPU-bound when the hardware encoders are invoked.See screenshots, linked below. Intel w/h264_videotoolbox = 7.42 / 4.23 = 1.75x, which is a bit disappointing based on all the hoopla I’d read about the M1. M1 vs Intel, software only, is 2.61 / 0.736 = 3.55x faster.įastest option available on each, e.g.

On my M1 machine, h264_videotoolbox increases the processing speed by 6.74 / 2.61 = 2.58x. On my Intel machine, h264_videotoolbox increases the processing speed by 4.23 /0.736 = 5.7x. Intel, hevc_videotoolbox, failed with 'The hardware encoder may be busy, or not supported' On both my 2014 MacBook Pro (2.8 GHz Intel Core i7/Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB) and on my new 2020 Mac Mini (4 performance cores, 4 efficiency cores, 8 M1 GPU cores), both with and without invoking -vcodec h264_videotoolbox or hevc_videotoolbox: I took a 06:15 length, 2560 x 1440, ~300 MB MP4 from one of my security cameras: Running a slightly older build on my Intel box (N-102535-g6ff2aba088-tessus) I “installed” ffmpeg 4.4 on my M1 by downloading a precompiled build from OSXExperts: Perhaps no one cares about ffmpeg on Apple Silicon but me! But I care, so I bought myself a used M1 mini, and here are some not-very-scientific results.
