Encoder Profiles

Three encoder profiles are supported:

CPU

This uses the x264 encoder with no acceleration. This works on all computers and usually produces the best result, but it uses up the CPU.

OMX

This utilises the Raspberry Pi's GPU for accelerated encoding.

VAAPI

This utilises the VAAPI standard for accelerated decoding and encoding.
