Question: Parsing Instructions for ffmpeg Unlock Test

[CoffeeandTV]

Hello,

The suggested test script for windows here seems to be missing parsing instructions as copy and pasting it into CMD or running as a .bat results in the following:

Input #0, lavfi, from 'testsrc': Duration: N/A, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A Stream #0:0: Video: rawvideo (RGB[24] / 0x18424752), rgb24, 320x240 [SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], 25 tbr, 25 tbn Option hwaccel (use HW accelerated decoding) cannot be applied to output url ^ -- you are trying to apply an input option to an output file or vice versa. Move this option before the file it belongs to. Error parsing options for output file ^. Error opening output files: Invalid argument

Using ffmpeg archive linked to in the instructions.

Unsure of the exact cause of it not working for you but it seems to be related to the ^ characters from this cannot be applied to output url ^.

To test it you can try to run the command as a single line, this is the one in the wiki as a single line:

ffmpeg.exe -y -hwaccel cuda -hwaccel_output_format cuda -f lavfi -i testsrc -t 50 -vf hwupload -fps_mode passthrough -c:a copy -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 4M -f null - -vf hwupload -fps_mode passthrough -c:a copy -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 1M -f null - -vf hwupload -fps_mode passthrough -c:a copy -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 8M -f null - -vf hwupload -fps_mode passthrough -c:a copy -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 6M -f null - -vf hwupload -fps_mode passthrough -c:a copy -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 5M -f null - -vf hwupload -fps_mode passthrough -c:a copy -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 7M -f null -

If you're using Powershell, you need to use the backtick (`) character as the extension instead of carat (^).
