Carl, thanks a million for the answer,
(1) Ahh, fascinating. So it could be that
i. ffmpeg is in fact using VideoToolbox
BUT
ii. VideoToolbox is using software decoding !!!!!!!!!!!
Good grief! I did not think of that!
Let me ask,
(Q1) Is there a way to absolutely know if Ffmpeg is using VideoToolbox?
It seems that
A- sometimes ffmpeg decodes itself in software
B- sometimes ffmpeg uses VideoToolbox
the first problem we face is whether A or B is happening.
For example, would there be a way to simply turn off “A”
so that it will either use VideoToolbox, or just fail ?
This would drastically help by removing one variable.
How to know if ffmpeg used VideoToolbox?
Thanks again .. really …
