I use a Ryzen 5 5600g. What about hardware decoding on that?
It already has partial support for AMD/AMF/VCE.
Can you run a quick test to see if your system supports it first.
Install the latest version of MCEBuddy 2.6.4 BETA version. Open a command prompt and navigate to the MCEBuddy directory and within it the Comskip directory.
Then run this command and post back what you see. This is the starting point, lets see if your system is able to provide hardware decoding support.
comskip --decoders
If you prefer to not post it publicly you can also PM me.
OK. I will give it a try and let you know.

And then you can try adding --dxva2 to your Conversion task â Expert settings â Comskip options. In theory this should automatically activate the AMF decoders if present in the system.
Do attach the conversion logs so I see whatâs going on.
Also try (separately) using --hwassist in your Conversion task â Expert settings â Comskip options. This should allow the library to automatically pick the best hardware decoder, lets see what it picks on your system.
Do attach the conversion logs for this test also.
I tried installing and mcebuddy service will not start
Did you uninstall the old version before installing the new version? Try that.

I donât see any of the mentioned decoders. but I will do a test recording with --hwassist
Yes I figured that might happen, it doesnât always show dxva2 but it should work.
Try using the same file/task but with --dxva2 as the comskip option in the conversion task expert settings.
And for a baseline, please run the same file/task again but without any comskip options and PM me the logs.
Will the new donator version of Comskip be available to get by making a donation (or to buy) and use with MCEBuddy version 2.5.7?
Didnât understand your question. If you want to use the latest Comskip donator - yes you absolutely can. If you want to use the custom MCEBuddy Comskip build in 2.6.4 with 2.5.7, I donât see why not.
Sorry if I wasnât clear. I have MCEBuddy version 2.5.7 (paid version). I also have comskip donators version 0.82.012.
When I read that you have a newer version of comskip that is being used in MCEBuddy version 2.6.4, I just wanted to find out where or how I can get that version of comskip to use with MCEBuddy 2.5.7.
Download and install 2.6.4, then take all the files from the Comskip directory
You can manually replace the comskip.exe file in the MCEBuddy 2.5.7 comskip directory/folder with your newer donator version of comskip you get from the comskip site without paying for the premium version of MCEBuddy, if thatâs what youâre asking.
You can do the same for Handbrake and FFMPEG too. Iâm not sure when the custom command line options for comskip came in, so that will use the newer version of comskip, but it wonât use command line options.
See my other thread on manually upgrading comskip, Handbrake, and FFMPEG if thatâs what youâre trying to do (upgrade just comskip in 2.5.7 because you donât have the premium MCEBuddy 2.6.x version).
However, it looks like the MCEBuddy premium 2.6.x version now has a custom compile of the latest comskip donator version (if I read Gooseâs responses correctly), so youâll only get that by paying for the premium MCEBuddy to get the 2.6.x versions.
Iâm assuming the comskip in the current premium MCEBuddy 2.6.x was built from source and with a newer compiler to take advantage of optimizations and CPUs that werenât available when the comskip donator was released, or to integrate with a newer embedded FFMPEG, since thereâs been some changes with regards to AV1/VP9 since the comskip donator release.
