Bug Description
See https:/
ffmpeg -codecs 2>/dev/null | grep nvenc
should show available codecs and does show on Ubuntu 18.04, I think it does not on 19.04, because ffmpeg has moved compat/nvenc to a separate git repository, and you have to explicitly enable --enable-nvenc --enable-nvdec after packaging those headers.
[FFe rational for focal]
Full description can be found in the needs-packaging bug for the external headers.

I am using this bug for the FFe, so as to preserve the history of the needs-packaging bug for future ref.
While technically a new feature for implementation of ffmpeg4 series in Ubuntu, and for anyone upgrading from Eoan who did come via previous upgrades, this is restoring a feature that was available in Bionic.
Martin Wimpress has prepared and tested packages in this PPA.
