I posted about this back in the middle of September. It didn't work on the beta, I guess it never got fixed....

The macOS Big Sur is currently under QA test, thanks.

On the new M1 MacBook Air you still can't select the video toolbox....

To confirm, the video toolbox here means the Video Editor window, right?

That is wrong. Video toolbox is in the settings window/AV Codec. That is where you pick video toolbox for acceleration.

martythebrit

jarjarjar is correct....

No, the AV Codec page in DVDFab Settings is where you turn GPU acceleration on and off and set GPU or CPU for encoding and decoding. Is that what you can’t find?

Signals, it's a Mac thing, under H.265 Video Encoder you have VideoToolbox, which we can't select, I've attached a screenshot. This option isn't on the PC version...

go back into common settings - general settings - click the factory default setting button
in the lower left corner of the general settings area, restart dvdfab and see if the video toolbox is now selectable.

martythebrit

No, same thing...

make sure that your choosing either the DVD Ripper, Blu-ray ripper or the video converter module - https://www.dvdfab.cn/videotoolbox.htm

martythebrit

There is only one "section" for A/V Codec, there isn't one for each operation type...

martythebrit

What would be nice is a rewrite for Apple Silicon which is the future of Mac's. This is the way, I have spoken.....

martythebritt is correct, you can NOT select videotoolbox! It’s broken under Big Sur and that means it’s broken on the M1 as it runs Big Sur. No reset/restart or anything else will fix it.

Mona

The Video Toolbox issue is fixed, please kindly wait for the coming version and then try again, thank you.

The Video Toolbox issues have not been fixed completely. When you rip a .mp4 file it works fine, but when you rip a .mkv file only the sound is ripped. There is just a blank screen where there should be video. More work needs to be done to make this app. work correctly.

martythebrit

This was fixed in the latest version...

jarjarjar

I have the current version and .mkv file have no video but mp4 files do. They both use video toolbox but it seems to only copy the video if you rip a mp4. Because of that I consider it only half fixed.

jenke

I can copy that. No video on .mkv. Please fix it!
