Please can someone help me to get an ffmpeg batch file working (an amateur radio application)? I am trying to take the video/audio output of OBS Virtual Cam plug-in and compress it to H.265 using the computer's on-board Nvidia GTX1650 Super GPU card. For test purposes only I am trying to send the output to VLC as a UDP stream (ultimately it will be sent to an Adalm Pluto SDR).
By all accounts others have succeeded with this batch file but it certainly does not work for me. I am attaching the batch file and a screen print of the output. Very grateful for any help! Russ.

More information: I have since found that there was a change around ffmpeg v4.3.0 whereby the commands for hevc_nvenc were changed. Therefore, I installed ffmpeg v4.2.3 (29/5/20) and my batch file worked just fine!
I am not happy with using old versions of programs and it would be nice to update the batch file to work with the latest ffmpeg.
Is there someone out there with the skill to update my batch file. please? (as attached to my first post) -
I don't have a nvidia card to test with. But it looks like it doesn't like the combination of the preset and rc mode. Try changing or removing one. Beyond that I suggest you start by using as simple a command line as possible, then add options one by one until you find what's causing the problem.

Thank you, Jagabo. That comprehensive list will be invaluable.
-
The help doc says -preset slow is for 2-pass encoding. Try -preset medium instead. or llhq.

Thanks again. Sadly unable to test for a few days.

Be sure to write back when you find out what works. It will help the next person with the problem.
