I don’t understand most of the things in the changelog but NVENC support on Linux is a big deal afaik
A good video codec that is free!
Isn’t NVENC a hardware thing or a middleman for encoding boost?
No idea something GPU related I think. But AV1 is the codec, which is free and performant and high resolution.
It is literally just Nvidia Encoder. So hardware encoding on Nvidia GPUs. What codes are supported depends on the GPU
So it’s definitely not a codec.
A codec is a module that encodes and decodes (COder/DECoder…CoDec) information into a format. That format might be H.264 or VP9 or whatever.
So yes. NvEnc is a codec, or at least, it is when partnered with the hardware decoding also. It’s a codec for multiple formats.
