export FFMPEG_THREADS=4 export GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY=0-3 Then force -bufsize to a low value (e.g., -bufsize 2000k ) to prevent OOM (Out of Memory) crashes. For older Vera S05 kernels, libvpx (VP8) is significantly faster. If VP9 is too heavy, fall back to VP8 with: -c:v libvpx -cpu-used 4 -crf 10 -b:v 1M
