I had hoped to add some #ffmpeg hardware acceleration on the #timelapses at @alberniweather using the old AMD RV730 card in #footiMac but I've not found the magic command to make it happy. I got close I think, but it seems to just refuse to connect to the video driver.
If there are any ffmpeg experts out there familiar with vaapi and old AMD graphics cards, I'd love to have a little help.
I created a reddit post in r/ffmpeg with all the details.
@chris@alberniweather Have you tried ChatGPT?
It help when I was having trouble getting my stills converted to a time-lapse when we had that tornado go over UBC. It went right over my workplace while I was there! I was just trying to get lightning photos.
@chris@alberniweather I know what you mean, I even hesitated suggesting it.
But It does make for a great rubberduck.
Even if it doesn't give you a perfect answer.
