media-driver VS obs-amd-encoder

You might need to install the non-free intel media driver: https://github.com/intel/media-driver

Intel had VP9 decode since Kaby Lake (7th gen); original Skylake (6th gen) could not handle it (see here).

I've heard intel-media-driver was the way to go for supported hardware, but I also heard that it could decode slower than libva-intel-driver (like #925), and that Intel doesn't officially support some kind of decode feature in intel-media-driver, but it's implemented in libva-intel-driver.

I reproduced the issue on my end and opened a ticket to let intel devs know. https://github.com/intel/media-driver/issues/1628

I can see 22.6.6 was released in December ( Releases · intel/media-driver (github.com) ), but I'm having troubles getting it installed.

You should be able to choose FFmpeg VAAPI encoder, though it is suggested that kernel 6.2 is needed for this to actually work. I can confirm that it's broken with my A770, while I can choose the device, encoder is failing. No such problem with my Rapter Lake iGPU.

On GitHub there are similar problems reported: https://github.com/intel/media-driver/issues/1282

Eh? git so yes it is open source. No AMD doesn't have people working on it which is what I said. You can literally see they thank 1 AMD employee on the GitHub which kind of corroborates the lack of support. What's not true about what I said?

I wouldn't be so sure, OBS doesn't have popular support for radeon development, iirc the last update for AMD cards was in 2019 and the single dev who used to do AMF work on their spare unpaid time quit.

I am afraid it most likely do not have support for 5600M then. There is an issue to add support for 5600

So, it's a problem from the AMD encoder for OBS https://github.com/obsproject/obs-amd-encoder
