I've got myself a Intel ARC A380 (Asrock) for the sole purpose of encoding AV1 in handbrake (GUI), using latest Ubuntu LTS. One +month later after endless guides, compiling (who I had to learn), clueless studying about how it's suppose to work. I am no closer to make it work then when I started.
I might have something to do with FFMPEG since I got it to work with Manjaro after installing FFMPEG Full..something in AUR. But I had so many other problems with Manjaro so I don't want to use it. But what do I know, It seems that there are multiple ways to use hardware encoding with Intel ARC.
Is there anyone out there who got it to work with Ubuntu LTS or know what I need to get it to work, any cohesive step-by-step guide... anything?
At this point I feel like I wanna bury the card deep underground and never touch anything labeled Intel again.
In case the issue persists, it could be a compatibility problem between the drive and the app, so if the problem continues to happen, share with us more details about what exactly happens when trying to use AV1 encoding with Handbrake like error messages or crashes, since we might be able to take a further look at the problem.

In Bryron's examples, which are a good way to go if a) you don't already know your desired bitrate or b) if this doesn't work. Once you pick a preset, look to see what bitrate and estimated file size you have.
might as well also say what the codec is inside some 'wrapper'... like, if you export from PPro one wrapper and codec, then handbrake converts to another wrapper and codec, it sorta doesn't matter much what the bitrate info is.
Since we don't know what you export from PPRO and since we don't know what you got converted to in Handbrake, it is not exactly accurate to just say to you " lower the bit rate "... unless your export is the same as the conversion wrapper and codec.
If you lower the bit rate from PPro, it WILL lower the byte count, but the quality may suffer, so you'd have to do a test on a small section of your video ( just move work bars so you only export a small section and don't waste time doing the whole thing).
My understanding of your post was that you export from PPRO and it is nice but really BIG FILE and you need to deliver a smaller file to the podcast host. So therefore you convert it in Handbrake. You said it becomes about HALF the size in byte count and the quality is still nice.
My gut feeling is that you are exporting ( THIS IS A WILD GUESS ) mp4 with H264 codec. Handbrake uses H265 which roughly HALFS the size of the file. Those are wild guesses... so maybe just lowering bit rate will be perfect !
Up until today I was stuck with my good old 3XX driver which was working great despite minor bugs, this is why I kept postponing the update to 4XX. I Just updated to 434 and can't get my handbrake to work, which was working great up until I updated the drivers.
The handbrake is attached on the base. Testing the handbrake appears on the pedals for some reason but not working at all - website indicates no specific driver is required, but games (Dirt 2.0) not recognizing it at all.
In any case please DO add a mention somewhere about the handbrake. If any of the ideas above don't work for you a simple message in the pedals would be sufficient, eg 'To calibrate handbrake, click here' or something similar.
Also for some reason, when I read the option 'Enable CSL Elite Pedals LC manual mode' my mind went to Load Cell for some reason so I initially ignored it alltogether, didn't even bother reading the tooltip.
I'm in a similar situation. I bought a handbrake 1.5 and tried to use it on a DD2 base via handbrake port. Despite the correct wiring on the handbrake connection, I do not receive any signal, regardless of whether it is in the global game controller settings or the Fanatec control panel. The handbrake was exchanged via RMA. The new exchange came today, but the same problem. So probably not a hardware problem. When I read the experience report here, it seems to confirm a driver or firmware problem. What can I do? I do not know how to continue...
checking back on this post, maybe you missed what you have to do. It's not a driver problem per se, but the option to make it work is somewhat hidden at this time. The handbrake does not require any special firmware, nor does it take any firmware updates.
However, windows is detecting my ClubSport HandBrake thru the ClubSport Petals, even though, Fanatec's software is not registering any input. The handbrake isn't working for me in game.. Please correct this.
although Maurice is the one to give you a proper answer, this looks like a different problem. I don't know how it is supposed to work when connected to the pedals rather than the base - manual reads something like, pull once after power on (after base power on that is) to register handbrake inputs.
I have the pedals and wheel base from the CSL Elite, bought the V1.5 handbrake and connected it to the wheel base like you did. The handbrake is not recognized in any way, I tried to connect the wheel base to the PC and I updated all the drivers but it is not recognized even so.
I searched on the forum and I found your answer, that is "Switch to: Enable CSL Elite Pedals LC manual mode and set min-max values there", my problem is that this button does not come out anywhere, nor on the software nor anywhere. Can you tell me something about it?
But it's always very hard to play on WRC 10. Like a soap in the hands, lake of sensations despite several settings...... I don't know if I could win about 30 seconds on the third stage...But this is another story.....

If it all looks good and the drivers are loading, you should modify your go file on the flash drive to load the i915 drivers when the server is booted. I have the following entries in my go file. I am using hardware transcoding in both Plex and HandBrake.
I have had up to six hardware transcodes going simultaneously in Plex and there was PLENTY of overhead left. so, I don' think a HandBrake job kicking off at the same would tax the capabilities of the CPU/iGPU
I started two Plex streams forcing a 1080p transcode on both. I confirmed both streams were being decoded and encoded in hardware (Quick Sync). I then started a 1080p transcode in HandBrake from .mkv to .mp4 using my Quick Sync Video preset. It started and ran without any issues even while the two Plex streams continued uninterrupted. I then started a third Plex stream transcoding 1080p to 720p.
I let all the above run for about 20 minutes. I then cancelled the three Plex streams. QSV handled the three Plex streams in the iGPU and there was only a minor difference on the overall CPU load with or without the Plex streams running.
Most of the load on the CPU (averaged about 74% which is typical for my HandBrake transcodes) was because HandBrake was transcoding subtitles as well as the audio and video tracks. That uses CPU and is not done in QSV.
I'd like to bump this. I have the same issue as @Alvin Leong except I'm using Plex. HW transcoding works fine but I can't seem to enable quicksync on handbrake. I've added /dev/dri as a handbrake device parameter so if Quicksync works in Plex it should show up here.
You do not mention what version of Unraid you are running, but from version 6.9.0 and greater, go file entries for modprobe i915 are no longer recommended.; although, I suppose it may still work. I am using the "touch" method to load i915. See the release notes for more information.
I noticed I had no QSV Handbrake options on that server. I had no i915.conf file there either; however, I recall that in an Unraid release after 6.9.0 (I do not recall which one), it was mentioned that Unraid would now automatically load the i915 drivers if an iGPU was detected. As a test of that theory, I did not create an i915.conf file via the touch method on this server.
I don't know what CPU you are using, but in examining my Handbrake QSV preset, I remembered a setting I needed to add to get QSV to work with the 11th Generation i5-11600 CPU in that system. Prior to adding this, I would get an "encoding failed" message on all encoding attempts with QSV.
Rocket Lake/11th gen CPU/iGPUs had problems with low power QSV encoding which is the default for Handbrake. I had to turn off low power mode in the QSV presets by adding "lowpower=0' to the "More Settings" box in in the Video tab. So I did not have to add this each time, I made sure to resave the Preset with this setting.
Right now I can encode a 2-hour bluray in around 2hrs 15 mins but only in H264 (h265 is at least double this). Not the end of the world but CPU utilisation is a solid 100%. QSV should cut the time down and give me some headroom!
I'm going to drop some head pounding, time sucking, information that has taken me the better part of 2 days to figure out, and every time I went searching this thread kept coming up so I feel this may be the best place to drop it for any future poor soul that tries to figure it out.
I have been trying to figure out why my 10th gen Intel Celeron Elkhart Lake J6413 would not show the QSV options. Even though in handbrakes activity screen it says "qsv is available on this system", I went down every rabbit hole, every random thread I could find. I followed all the things in this thread even though I'm running 6.11.5 and some of the things weren't needed.
