Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions for faster vp9 encoding?

On a reasonable 4 core hyperthreaded machine I am getting <4fps encoding
speed using the following:

ffmpeg -i artofflight.mp4 -c:v libvpx-vp9 -threads 8 -b:v 1000k -speed 4
-tile-columns 6 -frame-parallel 1 -auto-alt-ref 1 -lag-in-frames 25 -f webm
