Can not get Transcoder to utilize hardware. Yes the option is selected in settings.

Running server hardware - Have a Matrox G200e listed in device manager? Could this be screwing something up?

Spec’s:  
Xeon E-2174G  
8GB RAM  
Avago/LSI - RAID Card  
RAID1 - S4610 Intel SSD’s  
P2000 Quadro  
Windows Server 2019  
PMS 1.16.7.1597

Thank you … I am able to post there now. Are you able to merge or move this thread?

Yes transcoding utilizes hw (poorly) if I roll-back. The new beta never shows hw and utilizes 95%+ CPU.
