[SOLVED] Handbrake 16.0 AV1 QSV option not available on 12700k Win 10.

[Ar558]

I can't get the new Handbrake 16.0 to show the QSV option on my Windows 10 install with a 12700k (which is supported). Any ideas?

QSV on 12th gen doesn't have any AV1 encoding, only decode. Only Arc, RTX 40 and Radeon 7000 series support hardware accelerated encoding.

You can check out Wikipedia's table of Intel QSV support, and as you can see, Alder Lake doesn't have AV1 encode.
