-The FFmpeg version of Nvidia Codec SDK headers which are required
-to interface with Nvidia's codec APIs. The purpose of these
-headers is to allow hardware (GPU) encoding with suitable NVidia
-cards. This version corresponds to Video Codec SDK version 11.1.5
-and requires NVidia drivers version 470.57.02 or newer.
-
-There are 3 stages in 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 and 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 a recent FFmpeg.
