Q Light Controller+

Hi everyone,

Actually working on a show including video, I'm wandering wich are the video codecs supported by QLC+ and if you have any recommandation about the best codec to choose when encoding my videos for an usage with QLC+. I know some codecs like h265 provides very good quality with descent filesize but they seems to involve high CPU performance for playback. So I'm looking for the best compromise between video quality and playback performance. Any recommandation ?

I'm working with QLC+ 4.12.2 on Windows 10 and only need 720p resolution for my videos.

720p playing through what hardware?
* PI = certainly a 'no'
* PC (with decent GFX power) - doable MP4?? H263? even flatfile ??
* MAC - I don't know - I have no experience with that platform / harware

Nowadays most of the hardware on the market supports hardware decoding of H264 video (ignore H263, which is for video calls)
The container can be Matroska (MKV) or MP4. I'd skip AVI or WMV.
Audio is up to you. I'd say some MPEG1 layer 1-3 would do.

@GGG: actually, a Raspberry Pi is very powerful in terms of video decoding. The brand new Pi 4 can even do H265 4K@60fps. (source) How to take advantage of it with QLC+ is another story...

Thank you !
