Hardware Encoding with Intel QuickSync

MCEBuddy detects your Intel QuickSync capabilities and starts out by using hardware encoding but then your graphics driver hangs and MCEBuddy needs to revert to software encoding.

MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake –> Hardware encoding appears to have hung, no progress in the last 300 seconds. This is likely due to an unstable Intel Display Driver. Try updating or using a stable Intel Display Driver.

This is the most common issue with hardware encoding (it’s done by the graphics drivers). Try using one of the tested/recommended graphics driver version which is more stable for hardware encoding: GPU/Hardware Encoding/Acceleration FAQs
