[SOLVED] Handbrake no Quicksync option but I do see NVENC options.

Hello. Thanks for your time looking over my problem. I have been beating my head on it for a while and would love a second set of eyes if anyone has time

I have two graphics cards.
Intel Arc A380
NVIDIA GeForce RTX Card

In OBS Studio I am able to use either card for encoding. So I know both work and drivers and installed.

In handbrake I only see the NVENC options.

I have installed:
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … ia-driver/
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/mesa/
https://archlinux.org/packages/multilib … ib32-mesa/
https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any/linux-firmware/
https://github.com/intel-gpu/intel-gpu-firmware

Referenced pages that I read
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardwa … celeration
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_graphics
https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/latest/tec … o-qsv.html

I have also tried handbrake from pacman, from aur, and from flatpak. None have seen the arc card but all can see the NVENC card.

I'm kinda at a loss. Anyone know how to get Handbrake to see the Quick sync options?
So any ideas would be great thanks again!

pacman -Qi handbrake

says you need "intel-media-sdk" for "Intel QuickSync support".... so

pacman -S intel-media-sdk

Hello jonoo! Thanks for the info. I installed intel-media-sdk and now handbrake shows Quicksync option for h.264 only. Do you know how to enable the other codecs the card supports like AV1 and HEVC? Thanks!

EDIT: I solved it thanks!

Had to install onevpl-intel-gpu

found the info here
