AppImage has some great advantages but also some disadvantages, one of which is stated below from the manual:
AppImage will probably not allow for either VDPAU or VA-API hardware acceler- ation because the computer where AppImage is created will not have the same graphics card and/or vaapi/vdpau libraries as yours. It is recommended for best results that you build CINELERRA-GG on your specific computer..
There is an AppImage workaround that another user provided to solve this library problem, but it is not for the casual user - https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/CinelerraGG_Manual/Managing_AppImage.html The laptop computer that I created the AppImage that you are using is an AMD based computer running an older Fedora version 32 and has the following installed:
./usr/lib64/libvdpau.so.1.0.0 ./usr/lib64/libvdpau.so.1 ./usr/lib64/libvdpau.so ./usr/lib64/vdpau/libvdpau_radeonsi.so.1.0.0 ./usr/lib64/vdpau/libvdpau_radeonsi.so.1.0
which I "think" is included in the AppImage generated there. (Andrew is knowledgeable in this area but I am not, so further clarification may have to come from him). On Tue, Nov 14, 2023 at 1:08 AM David Koski via Cin < [email protected]> wrote:
I've started using CinGG-20230930-x86_64.AppImage and I'm getting the hang of the basics. I have gotten my nvidia hardware engaged with Cinelerra for encoding but still the rendering is not all that great and my CPUs are loaded down. On finding that I need environment variables to engage decoding, I thought maybe that is hindering my rendering. So with the following setting I started a rendering job:
export CIN_HW_DEV=vdpau
Now I get an error:
recvmsg(22, Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libvdpau is installed:
