Hi everyone.
I discovered CachyOS a few days ago.
Before that, I had already been distro hopping for a few years.
CachyOS is really great, and I’m getting along very well with it.
However, I’m missing some of the programs available in the Arch and AUR repositories.
Now to my problem, or rather, my request.
Is there any way to modify the AMD graphics driver so that I can use the AMD VCN encoder in “Handbrake,” just like I can in Windows 11?
I haven’t found a distribution that allows me to do this yet.
Thank you in advance.
I’ve since found my own solution.
If anyone else has the same problem, here’s how I solved it.
Handbrake requires the driver amf-amdgpu-pro
LINK: AUR (en) - amdgpu-pro-installer
Use the following commands in the terminal:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/amdgpu-pro-installer.git
cd amdgpu-pro-installer
makepkg --syncdeps
makepkg --install
Then restart the system.
AMD VCE is now available in Handbrake.
An alternative solution is to install the AUR package amf-amdgpu-pro-25.10 (I have an RDNA2 GPU and handbrake recognizes this package)
[Note: I do not have these dependencies of the older amdgpu-pro-installer installed:
amdgpu-pro-oglp
lib32-amdgpu-pro-oglp
lib32-vulkan-amdgpu-pro
vulkan-amdgpu-pro]
