FFMpeg's playbook: Advanced encoding options with hardware-accelerated acceleration for both NVIDIA NVENC's and Intel's VAAPI-based hardware encoders in both ffmpeg and libav.

FFmpeg and libav's playbook: Advanced encoding options with hardware-based acceleration, NVIDIA's NVENC and Intel's VAAPI-based encoder.

Hello guys,

Continuing from this guide to building ffmpeg and libav with NVENC and VAAPI enabled, this snippet will cover advanced options that you can use with ffmpeg and libav on both NVENC and VAAPI hardware-based encoders.

For ffmpeg:

Playing around with Chrome's history

Browser histories

Unless you are using Safari on OSX, most browsers will have some kind of free plugin that you can use to export the browser's history. So that's probably the easiest way. The harder way, which seems to be what Safari wants is a bit more hacky but it will also work for other browsers. Turns out that most of them, including Safari, have their history saved in some kind of sqlite database file somewhere in your home directory.

The OSX Finder cheats a little bit and doesn't show us all the files that actually exist on our drive. It tries to protect us from ourselves by hiding some system and application-specific files. You can work around this by either using the terminal (my preferred method) or by using the Cmd+Shft+G in Finder.

Finder

Once you locate the file containing the browser's history, copy it to make a backup just in case we screw up.
