Interested! . Any pointers / cards that you are looking at?

Thanks!

Yes, agreed - same finding here. With HW accel, MPEG2TS ... is see decoding (comskip) ~ 2x faster than transcoding.

Agreed! I have to think detection could be faster than transcoding. Will take a look.

OK, will dig into it. FYI, I'm running on Linux - that's where I'm seeing the issues.

I did run comskip and ffmpeg on a file yesterday (~ 4 hours of video, golf) - comskip took ~ 1.5 hours to complete, ffmpeg (transcoding to HEVC) ~ 30 min.

Thanks!

Completely understand. I'd be more than willing to help out, if I can. I do have some programming experience, but don't claim to be an expert.

Is there a particular place to hunt in the code?

Thanks!

Hi, Really happy with comskip overall - it does clip well, quite reliable. I would just like to speed it up a bit, it's running about the same speed as transcoding for me (from MPEG2 TS to HEVC). I do have a relative quick GPU, trying to make use of that. I did try setting hardware_decode=1 in the i...
