No problem, glad it helped.

Unfortunately no. As far as I know the underlying cause had to do with the new driver from Intel themselves, not anything Plex was doing (other than defaulting to using it). I didn’t follow the issue very closely, but there were at least a few threads about it.

I thought this bullet-point from [1.18.7.2415](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-media-server/30447/317) was intended to address it, but it appears not in at least some cases:

- (Transcoder) Hardware encoding on older Intel processors could produce very low-quality output in some cases. (#10863)
