I have some downloaded My Hero Academia episodes, and I'm trying to put them on my iPad that hasn't got that much space. So, I decided to try convert them to HEVC. But, when I try to use hevc_videotoolbox for GPU acceleration. But, it doesn't work.
input command: ffmpeg -i /Volumes/SSD\ STORAGE/MHA/S2/S02E00.mp4 -b:v 640k /Volumes/SSD\ STORAGE/MHA/S2/S02E00_0640.mp4
