The purpose of these +headers is to allow hardware (GPU) encoding with suitable NVidia +cards. This version corresponds to Video Codec SDK version 8.1.24. + +There are 3 stages of the history of NVidia GPU encoding with FFmpeg: + + 1. Pre August 27th 2016 it was necessary to track down your own + headers to build nvenc. + 2. Post August 27th 2016 the required headers were incorporated + as part of the FFmpeg source. + 3. Post February 26th 2018 the NVidia headers were removed from + the FFmpeg source. A separate git repository was created to hold + continuing work with these headers. + +This nv-codec-headers script is for point 3 where the headers will +need to be installed before compiling FFmpeg. |
