This guide explains ways to accelerate video encoding, decoding and end-to-end transcoding on NVIDIA GPUs through FFmpeg. Using FFmpeg with NVIDIA GPU Hardware Acceleration This guide helps developers in knowing settings used in SDK v9.1 and their equivalents in SDK v10.0 and above. This guide provides a detailed discussion of the NVENC programming interface, describes setting up hardware for encoding and provides guidance on achieving maximum performance. NVENC Video Encoder API Programming Guide This application note helps developers in knowing NVENC HW capabilities and expected encode performance of NVIDIA GPUs.
This guide provides a detailed discussion of the NVDEC Decode API programming interface and provides guidance on achieving maximum performance by writing an efficient application. NVDEC Video Decoder API Programming Guide NVIDIA GPUs - beginning with the Kepler generation - contain a hardware-based encoder (referred to as NVENC in this document) which provides fully accelerated hardware-based video encoding and is independent of graphics/CUDA cores.
