Built-in software encoder and decoder

If your hardware does not support hardware acceleration, you can use the built-in software encoders or decoders, which don't use hardware acceleration.

For H.264 and H.265 videos, the default built-in software encoder and decoder is MainConcept. For VP8 and VP9 video, the default built-in software encoder and decoder includes VPX. To use the default software encoder or decoder, set the video Encoding Implementation or Decoder Implementation to Default in your transcoder template. CPU resources are utilized for video scaling when hardware acceleration is unavailable.
