2020-03-09 21:28:35 Martin Wimpress  description FFmpeg 4.x supports hardware-accelerated video encoding via nvenc on amd64. To enable this capability, nv-codec-headers are required by FFmpeg at build time. In turn applications such as OBS Studio (video streaming) and Shotcut (video editor) can take advantage of nvenc enabled FFmpeg to offload video encoding/rendering to an Nvidia GPU. FFmpeg in Bionic supported nvenc because the required headers were previously included in the FFmpeg source tree for earlier FFmpeg releases. I intend to restore nvenc support in FFmpeg for Focal. * nv-codec-headers - FFmpeg headers for interfacing with NVIDIA's codec APIs URL: https://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg/nv-codec-headers.git License: Expat Notes: nv-codec-headers is only required as a Build-Depends for FFmpeg; it will not be seeded.
