Getting Started with FFmpeg/libav using NVIDIA GPUs

 

Using NVIDIA hardware acceleration in FFmpeg/libav requires the following steps

• Download and install ffnvcodec:
  git clone https://git.videolan.org/git/ffmpeg/nv-codec-headers.git
cd nv-codec-headers && sudo make install && cd –
• Download the latest FFmpeg or libav source code, by cloning the corresponding GIT repositories
• FFmpeg: https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
• Libav: https://github.com/libav/libav
• Download and install the compatible driver from NVIDIA web site
• Download and install the CUDA Toolkit CUDA toolkit
• Use the following configure command (Use correct CUDA library path in config command below)
  ./configure --enable-cuda-sdk --enable-cuvid --enable-nvenc --enable-nonfree --enable-libnpp
--extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/cuda/include --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/cuda/lib64
• Use the following command to compile: make -j 10
• Use FFmpeg/libav binary as required. To start with FFmpeg, try the below sample command line for 1:2 transcoding
  ffmpeg -y -hwaccel cuvid -c:v h264_cuvid -vsync 0 -i <input.mp4> -vf scale_npp=1920:1072
-vcodec h264_nvenc <output0.264> -vf scale_npp=1280:720 -vcodec h264_nvenc <output1.264>
