Hello, @btx3 Thanks for your report. I have removed properties according to the post. Here is the VideoToolboxTest output before I removed the property: Here is after I removed the property

Hello, @btx3 I have removed the I have also a dual boot system, so I have checked in windows 10. It shows that the HW Encoding not supported. The discrete graphics is already turned off in the bios. Please check the below screenshots:
Also could you please verify your processor using Here is the output of the above command: I have also attached config.plist.zip file. Could you please check it? |

Hello @btx3 Waiting for your response 👋 |

Sorry, I think I missed the e-mail Github sent me. Here's the output of your command: Seems to be the same. I also checked your config against mine and found no difference! The only difference between our laptops seems to be that you have a dedicated GPU (mine only has the integrated Intel graphics). I'm thinking there's probably something trying to pass HEVC encoding onto the dedicated GPU, and then failing to do so. Also, I don't have a Windows install to double-check, but I'll try to get one working during the next couple of days and report back. |

Okay, thanks for the confirmation. @all-contributors please add @btx3 for testing and contribution. |

I've put up a pull request to add @btx3! 🎉 |
1. macOS Big Sur 11.1.0 support added. 2. OpenCore version updated to 0.6.5. 3. Added `AppleBacklightSmoother` Please see https://github.com/hieplpvip/AppleBacklightSmoother 4. Fixed HDMI port not working. Thanks to user [someshsrichandan](https://github.com/someshsrichandan) for reporting issue [#39](#45). 5. Kexts updated.
Describe the bug
After trying (and failing) to encode several projects using the HEVC codec in Compressor and Final Cut Pro, I saw that the apps didn't even recognize the hardware HEVC encoder. Once I verified that VTEncoderInfo also fails to find the HW HEVC encoder, I found this post which said removing the "AAPL,slot-name" property in the config.plist fixes the issue. Sure enough, removing the key makes the encoder work again (the apps launch a lot faster too :).
This is the key in question:
