How does this performance change if you omit all the filters, i.e. just
RTSP demuxing/decoding and re-encoding to YouTube? (In other words: Do
the filters "cook" your CPU, or is it the encoding?) Not with "-c:v
copy, as in your original e-mail.

If the encoding is the bottleneck, you should try using your GPU for
that.
