How to Enable H.264 and HEVC/H.265 encoding on macOS
An EliteMacx86 Exclusive Guide - This guide covers the implementation of H.264 and HEVC/H.265 on macOS using Clover and OpenCore.
Requirements
H.264 and HEVC/H.265 CPU Compatibility
Option #1: With IGPU Enabled
If you're having IGPU enabled, you need to configure Device Properties. To configure the IGPU Device Properties, follow the guide linked below.
Option #2: With IGPU Disabled
With IGPU disabled, you can use NVIDIA or AMD GPU. If you're using NVIDIA or AMD, you need to use one of the following SMBIOS.
STEP 1: BIOS Settings
The BIOS settings have been provided in a separate thread. For more information on BIOS settings, refer to the thread linked below.
STEP 2: Fix Graphics
Whether in terms of IGPU or NVIDIA/AMD, the Graphics must be enabled and should work with full QE/CI. If your GPU isn't working with full QE/CI, depending on your GPU, refer to the guide linked below.
GPU must be compatible with macOS. Refer to the compatibility list linked below.
STEP 3: Configure SMBIOS
The next step is to configure an appropriate SMBIOS. For NVIDIA or AMD GPU, use the SMBIOS as per the above table.
STEP 4: Restart your System
After performing all the above steps, restart your system for the applied changes to take effect and you should be able to get H.264 and/or HEVC/H.265.
STEP 5: Verify H.264 and HEVC/H.265 Encoding
To verify whether you have a working H.264 and HEVC/H.265 Encoding, follow the steps below.
1. Download VideoProc Converter
2. Move the App to the Applications folder
3. Open VideoProc Converter
4. Click on Settings
5. Click on Options as shown below
6. Click on the refresh button to check the encoding. Once finished, VideoProc Converter will display the results for both. If it is enabled, you'll see the Enable checkbox checked.
